Experience the super, naturally
Have you got what it takes for a Ski Weekends adventure?
We may be fast approaching the season of ghosts and ghouls, when kids in costumes go trick or treating and the more courageous adults indulge in horror movies and fright nights. But if you thought Halloween was scary, you’ve obviously not considered the nape-tingling power of a ski adventure holiday.
A Ski Weekends survey of hundreds of winter holidaymakers has revealed that nearly half of respondents would tempt someone to try a ski holiday for the first time simply by describing the incredible excitement and wild adrenaline rush of skiing and snowboarding.
Such is the scarily seductive power of snowsports that more than a third of the survey respondents also said that, given the chance, they’d ski twice every season, with 22% opting to indulge their passion for skiing and boarding by visiting the slopes more than five times a year. Almost half succumb to thrills and spills on the slopes at least once a year and a third are on the piste twice every season – one respondent even confessed to skiing more than five times annually!
With Ski Weekends thrill seekers can be sure of finding the most frightfully fulfilling destinations. For many snowsports fans that means off-piste skiing and snowboarding and Ski Weekends’ resorts in the 3 Valleys offer some of the world’s best off-piste opportunities – as well as the 600km of groomed slopes and a variety of wonderful mountain restaurants.
The Chamonix Valley, too, is an off-piste dream, headed up by the famous Vallee Blanche that offers skiing down Mont Blanc from the imposing Aguille d’ midi. This 17km run descends past beautiful blue glacier faces – here the adventure is so thrilling that a Mountain Ski Guide is a must as you weave your way between hidden crevasses.
The Grand Montets area also has several great off-piste runs with the Pas de Chevre being a highlight. This goes from the top of the Grands Montets to meet the Mer de Glace –with good snow conditions you can even ski down to Chamonix, a vertical descent of 2300 metres.
So that everyone can enjoy these ultimate thrills, Ski Weekends offers affordable weekend ski trips throughout the season, in some of the very best resorts in the Alps. However, with holiday deals for the 2013-2014 season from just £219 at the Verseau in Brides Les Bains – with a lowest price guarantee – rest assured that at least the prices aren’t scary. Fly deals from 17 regional UK airports means it’s easy to enjoy up to four days skiing in France, Italy or Switzerland from just £385.
