Ski and sliding
Where to ski in April and May?
While spring makes its appearance on the plains with rather mild weather from April onwards, at altitude the snow is still very much present, with ideal conditions for skiing. In April, you can still put on your skis, and in some resorts you can even ski until the beginning of May. Here’s a look at some of the best resorts for skiing at this time of year.
As well as enjoying quality snow, plenty of sunshine and long days, skiing in March, April and May offers a host of wonderful surprises.
At this time of year, you can discover nature as it awakens, enjoy the many festivities in the resorts and sample the local produce on the terrace… You can also take advantage of a whole host of great deals to ski for less, with family or friends!
