Long sunny days, warmer temperatures, quieter slopes and a more laid-back atmosphere make it a fantastic time to head to the mountains. But, if you tend to book your holidays at the beginning of the season and if it\u2019s your first time spring skiing in the Alps, there are a few different factors to consider. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this post, we cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pros and cons of skiing in spring<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The best resorts to visit in spring<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What the weather and snow is like<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What to pack<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#spring-activities\">Spring activities that can be enjoyed off the pistes<\/a><\/strong>, <strong>such as cycling, hiking\/snowshoeing and apr\u00e8s-ski<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read on to find out more\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-spring-skiing-in-the-alps-for-you\">Is spring skiing in the Alps for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that the most popular time for skiing in the Alps is in February. With school holidays bringing thousands of holidaymakers to the mountains, plus fantastic snow conditions and loads of family activities and events, it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-ovo-cta-button\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/chalets\/france\/half-term\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">Book a chalet for half term<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But skiing in the Alps isn\u2019t limited to the peak winter months. March, April, and in some cases, even early May can be a great time to head to your chosen resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is important to understand that conditions won\u2019t be the same in the late season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll likely need to head further up the mountain to find deeper snow, off-piste may be a little more limited and conditions may be slightly more slushy.

Plus, the reflection off the snow creates harsher sun exposure \u2013 always take the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A man skiing down a slope with trees in the background and blue skies.\" class=\"wp-image-66617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-350x234.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-1140x761.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/glade-optics-I-30st7mGAE-unsplash-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blue skies, warm weather and quiet slopes \u2013 what could be better?

You may also want to consider swapping heavier jackets for a softshell \u2013 on some days you may even get away with a hoodie!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SPF 50 suncream \u2013 this is incredibly important. You can burn just as badly in the mountains as by the sea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Goggles for skiing and sunglasses for relaxing on and off the piste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A thin beanie to wear at lunchtime or to apr\u00e8s-ski.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A rucksack \u2013 temperatures can change quickly, especially once the sun goes behind the mountains.
