tuition and child-friendly slopes are important factors to consider before you decide on your chosen destination.

Peak times such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/france\/xmas-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christmas<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/france\/new-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Year<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/france\/half-term\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">half term<\/a> are extremely popular with families and are usually the times when there\u2019s the most going on in resort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, due to their popularity, these periods can become expensive and the slopes tend to be busier. So, if you\u2019re not travelling with children, it could be a good idea to consider visiting during a quieter time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important factor to remember is snowfall and weather conditions. Mountain enthusiasts looking for powder skiing tend to book their holidays for January, when the snow is usually the best and the slopes have quietened down after the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover has-background-dim\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1080\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-48231\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1346-alti-ER-160121-101-RJ-2-1140x855.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>How do I book my accommodation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The accommodation you stay in can make or break your ski holiday, and your choice depends on who is coming with you. So, if you\u2019re wondering how to book a group ski holiday, it\u2019s a good idea to consider self catered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">large capacity chalets<\/a> which are close to the slopes- especially if you have younger children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/ski-in-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ski-in ski-out<\/a> chalets are a great option for both beginners and large groups, as they minimise the time and effort spent on getting to the lifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to consider the facilities available at your accommodation. Ski\/ boot storage areas, spacious communal rooms and good cooking facilities are the basis of a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self catered accommodation<\/a>. But what about the extras? Families with young children should consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/france\/cool-for-kids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kid-friendly chalets<\/a> with baby equipment, safety equipment, indoor and outdoor entertainment. For older families, chalets with facilities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/hot-tub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hot tubs,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/sauna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saunas<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?dest_linked=1&destination=0&hammam=1&hero=&lang=en&noocc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">steam rooms<\/a> and home cinemas are a fantastic idea to keep everyone entertained off the slopes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to book a last minute ski holiday?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with a fair amount of flexibility can benefit from booking a last minute skiing holiday. This is a good idea if you are open to staying in any resort, but bear in mind this approach will usually only be possible for off-peak periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re after the best deals,

The benefits of travelling by car is you don\u2019t have to pay extra for ski equipment or extra luggage. If you\u2019re travelling from the UK, you can take the ferry or the Eurotunnel. Wherever you\u2019re travelling from, make sure to consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanef.com\/en\/my-journey\/price-of-my-journey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost of the tolls<\/a> when you arrive in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flying<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geneva airport tends to be the most popular choice for travellers coming on skiing holidays. It has frequent flights and is close to a lot of the well known ski resorts. However, other choices could be Chambery, Grenoble and Lyon St Exupery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ski areas with short transfer times from Geneva include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Les Portes du Soleil<\/strong><\/a>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Les Aravis<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=51\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Meg\u00e8ve \/ Evasion Mont Blanc<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Mont-Blanc \/ Chamonix<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Le Grand Massif<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Train<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can travel to the Alps from Paris, Lyon and Geneva by train.

There\u2019s just a couple of things to think about before hitting the slopes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lift passes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting hold off your lift pass is relatively straightforward once you have made a few simple decisions. Whilst a full area, week-long pass may suit some, others may want to test the waters a little bit before investing in a pass for the duration of their trip. Additionally, different resorts offer different prices and varying packages, so it\u2019s best to do some research before your holiday and book in advance if you can to avoid the queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tuition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your level, lessons are always a great way to improve. But if you\u2019re a beginner, they are a necessity. Tuition helps you get the most out of your time on the slopes and improves your technique, skill level, and overall confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Group lessons or private lessons are available, and if you\u2019re travelling with kids, ski school is a great way for them to learn in a sociable environment.
