Top 5 Ski Holidays for 2025

With ski season on the horizon, it’s time to plan your ski holiday for 2025. Whether you're seeking family-friendly slopes, thrilling black runs, or lively après-ski, here are some of Europe’s most popular resorts to consider.

1. Val Thorens, France

As Europe’s highest resort (2,300m), Val Thorens is part of the expansive 3 Vallées area with 600km of interconnected slopes. Snow is virtually guaranteed from November to May and its “ski-in, ski-out” convenience and après-ski activities make it ideal for all levels.

Given the abundance of runs, Val Thoren is perfect for families and advanced skiers alike. However, it’s likely to be on the more expensive side for everything from ski passes to food and drink. This is truly one of the great skiing destinations and as Europe’s highest ski resort you’re almost guaranteed snow!

2. Andorra – Soldeu & Arinsal

Known for affordability and charm, Andorra offers 215km of slopes in the Grandvalira area. Beginners can enjoy gentle greens in Soldeu, while Arinsal boasts vibrant nightlife and runs for intermediates. Andorra also has duty-free shopping which is perfect for an indulgent escape.

As a lesser frequented skiing destination, you are likely to get a great deal on your holiday whilst still enjoying some great runs in the Pyrenees. Also, the Pyrenees is known for having more reliable snowfall than the Alps, just another reason why Andorra is a great idea for your 2025 ski holiday.

3. Tignes & Val d’Isère, France

This iconic French duo is a haven for intermediate and expert skiers. Tignes offers glacier skiing at 3,000m, while Val d’Isere features charming alpine architecture and vibrant après-ski. Together, they provide 300km of slopes in the Espace Killy area.

These locations are more geared towards advanced skiers who are seeking long runs and fresh powder. You can also expect to pay a little more here as both are world renowned resorts, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find a bargain if you’re on a budget.

4. Austria – St. Anton & Lech

Austrian resorts like St. Anton and Lech combine picturesque towns with thrilling slopes. Skiing in Austria will provide you with so much variety as St. Anton is famed for challenging terrain and world-class après-ski, while Lech offers a more serene, upscale vibe.

Ski holidays in Austria offer family-friendly options with ski schools and a mix of gentle to challenging pistes. Outside of France, Austria is up there with one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe with some incredible ski slopes just waiting for you to enjoy.

5. Avoriaz, France

Car-free and perched at 1,800m, Avoriaz caters to both families and eco-conscious travellers. As part of the Portes du Soleil area, it offers access to 650km of slopes and after a day on the snow, you can enjoy its iconic igloo bar or themed restaurants.

If you’re looking for a family ski holiday, then Avoriaz could be ideal as it’s not as expensive as other resorts in France and offers some great runs for beginners and intermediates alike.

Why You Need Ski Holiday Insurance

Whether you’re exploring Austria’s steep runs or Andorra’s laid-back slopes, Ski Holiday Insurance is essential. Protect yourself against travel delays, accidents on the slopes, or unexpected cancellations to enjoy a stress-free break with peace of mind.
