early booking for skiing next Feb half term.

With the impact of snowsports TV coverage from Italy, the amazing snow conditions for this half term, and some incredible deals for February 2027, demand for skiing on peak dates next year is high.

Iglu Ski customer and seasoned skier, John Porter, skiing this month in Tignes, France, said of the snow conditions, ‘I have never seen anything like it’.

Iglu Ski has a trick or two for those researching their half-term trip. If educated in Wales or the South West, and starting half-term before mid-month, there may be a chance to grab a ski holiday at non-peak prices. Iglu offers a three-bedded room on half board in Brides-les-Bains at the Hotel Amelie for only £984 per person, departing 6th February 2027 from Exeter or London Stansted, (-£11 London Gatwick; +£72 East Midlands).

Large catered chalets, requiring a minimum of say 8 or 10 guests are also on sale, but being snapped up fast, such as Chalet Les Oursons in La Tania, well geared up to welcome a family group next February.

Head of Sales and Service for Iglu Ski, Philip Wright says, ‘With all the positivity around skiing at the moment, it’s not surprising that demand for next season is high. In particular, February half-term is selling well, as holidaymakers in the Alps return after an amazing time away. We’re ready with more holidays than ever for next year, including flexible breaks, entire chalets, and some decent discounts on offer too.’
