How to ski: beginner\u2019s guide<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Give it a go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you pack your bags for the slopes, it\u2019s a good idea to see if this sport is for you. Although skiing holidays are fantastic fun, they don\u2019t always come cheap, so it\u2019s important to know you will enjoy yourself! We suggest heading to your local dry ski slope or indoor ski area for a lesson before hitting the pistes of the Alps, so you can get a feel for it first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re keen to improve your skills in the mountains, then make sure to book ski lessons<\/a> in advance of your trip. Tuition<\/a> is always a good idea, no matter what your level. Remember- even the pros have lessons, it\u2019s called training!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Beginners
Nothing beats the feeling of exploring the pistes with your family and friends! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Find the right kit for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Skiing holidays require plenty of planning when it comes to packing your bags. Differing weather conditions call for a variety of layers, and safety equipment should always be a priority. However, if you\u2019re a first time skier, we don\u2019t recommend investing in all of your own kit straight away. Buying your own kit can be costly, and children can grow out of ski wear by your next holiday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ski rental shops and clothing hire are widely available in resorts, so you can kit yourself out from head to toe without committing to a new wardrobe. Another advantage of renting kit is you can cut down on the cost of luggage if you\u2019re flying, or free up space in the car! To see a more detailed packing list and find out more about rental services, read our blog about what to take on a skiing holiday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Find the right resort for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although most resorts have plenty of options for beginners, some are better suited to first time skiers than others. It can be difficult choosing the right resort for you and your family, especially with the vast amount of options. However, alongside our beginner\u2019s guide to skiing holidays, we\u2019ve put together a blog on the best French ski slopes for beginners to help!<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re flying, don\u2019t forget to consider the transfer time<\/a> to your chosen resort! At OVO Network, many of our partner properties are conveniently located close to Geneva airport, so you can be at the doorstep of your chalet<\/a> in no time. Browse our full range of destinations here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n <\/symbol>\n \n \n <\/symbol>\n \n \n \n <\/symbol>\n \n \n \n <\/symbol>\n<\/svg>\n\n\n\n

4. Decide a time to go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

School holidays are the most popular time to visit ski resorts as a family. However, it\u2019s important to bear in mind that the slopes are busier at these times, and prices can increase. So, we recommend booking well in advance if you are planning on visiting throughout the holidays. If you\u2019re travelling without children, then consider visiting your chosen resort at a quieter time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor to consider when deciding what time to visit is the weather. Most ski seasons typically last from December to April, with exact dates varying depending on snowfall. It\u2019s worth remembering that booking very early or late in the season might sacrifice guaranteed snow. However, the weather can never be guaranteed, and it\u2019s always a good idea to have some activities in mind if the weather isn\u2019t great at some point during your holiday. Take a look at our blog about non-ski winter activities<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Find the right accommodation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to choosing accommodation for your trip, there are a few things to consider\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How large is your group?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re travelling with multiple families or as a larger group, you should consider renting a chalet<\/a> with a capacity to fit your needs. This way you can enjoy the holiday altogether, cook communally and overall- you get the most value for your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re a smaller group, an apartment or smaller chalet might suit you better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n Browse large capacity chalets in the french alps<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    2. How close would you like to be to the slopes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re skiing with young children, a ski-in ski-out chalet<\/a> is usually the most stress-free option. Not having to worry about carrying skis and poles back to your accommodation after a big day on the slopes means you can spend more time relaxing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n Book a ski-in ski-out chalet<\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    3. Facilities and activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just as much fun can be had off the slopes as well as on them! We recommend booking a property with great facilities for all the family such as kid-friendly facilities<\/a>, hot tubs<\/a>, saunas<\/a> or home cinemas. This is a great way to keep the whole family entertained after a day of skiing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember to check the destination guide<\/a> for the resort you are visiting to find out what activities you can do off the slopes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n <\/symbol>\n \n \n <\/symbol>\n \n \n \n <\/symbol>\n \n \n \n <\/symbol>\n<\/svg>\n\n\n\n

    Browse properties with hot tubs<\/h2>\n\n
