April skiing in France combines the thrill of the sport with the beauty of spring, offering a more laid-back and affordable alternative to the winter months.
For those of you thinking it's too late to ski, what if we told you that some of the best skiing conditions happen in April? Quieter slopes, longer days, milder temperatures, sunshine, plenty of snow and not to mention, unmissable special offers.
Top reasons to choose April ski holidays
Sunshine and Warmth: April often brings milder temperatures and sunny days, creating a more relaxed skiing experience. Skiing in a T-shirt isn't unusual.
Fewer Crowds: By April, the peak tourist season is over. This means fewer crowds on the slopes and in the resorts, providing a more peaceful, spacious skiing experience. Shorter lift queues make it easier to maximise your time on the slopes.
Cheaper Prices: Lift passes, accommodations, and even flights tend to be more affordable in April compared to the busy winter months. Many resorts offer late-season deals, making it an excellent time for budget-conscious skiers. Not to mention there are often plenty of kit offers too on skis, snowboards, boots and clothing!
Extended Daylight Hours: The days are longer in April, giving skiers more time to enjoy the slopes. Plus, longer daylight allows for more après-ski activities or relaxing in the sun after a day of skiing.
Easter Holidays: If Easter falls in April, some resorts offer special family-friendly activities, making it an ideal time for a family ski holiday.
End of Season Parties: There’s always a brilliant vibe as skiers unite to celebrate the end of another brilliant season.
A little tip for April ski holidays. Some south facing runs may be slushier in the afternoon during late April, so we recommend an early start, continue skiing through lunch, and an early finish for a late lunch on a terrace in the sunshine.
