“Having skied since a young age, I have been lucky enough to experience some incredible resorts both in Europe and beyond in the likes of Whistler and Park City. In my eyes, however, nothing comes close to St Anton, the skiing is some of the best in the world and the après ski is legendary!”

Sean, Sales Manager

“North America offers second to none ski resorts for families groups and couples; having recently visited Park City Mountain Resort I can testify to this! Whether you’re a pro boarder or skier or prefer quieter slopes just for skiing there is something for everyone. Park City is a fantastic resort with a delightful western charm – I’ll definitely be back!”

Louise, Ski Expert

“As a keen snowboarder I love the 3 Valleys, in particular Val Thorens. The area is so vast and snow sure from December to end of April. It is the ideal resort for couples, groups and families.”
