Pre-season is one of the best times to take a winter holiday. It’s cheap, it’s quiet and you’re probably in for some good snow.

With many resorts in Europe now opening as early as they can, there are loads of options out there for that perfect pre-Christmas break. Plenty of resorts have realised that the best way to combat the potential no-snow issue is to build a park, and a lot of holiday companies are now introducing snow-sure guarantees, so it’s not as risky as it used to be! 

There are some great package deals out there, and a snow-sure guarantee differs between companies, but it mainly means that if there isn’t enough snow for your chosen resort to open you can either claim your money back or go to a different resort. 

We’ve searched far and wide to find the best value holidays for one of the best times to go to the mountains – best get booking ASAP!
