Ski off to
fun from
Southampton
Southampton Airport is set for its biggest
ever ski season. Ski and snowboard
lovers can fly to more destinations than
ever before, including some of Europe’s
most popular resorts with some of the
UK’s best-known ski tour specialists.

Here are some tips on the best resorts:

Families:

Arinsal (Neilson holidays). Arinsal in
Andorra is ideally suited to families thanks
to its wide-open slopes, award winning

tuition and on-mountain childcare
facilities. Free child supervision (when
adults book tuition), and free lift passes
for all children under 12 with each
pre-booked adult lift pass.
La Rosière (Esprit Ski). Established family
favourite, with impressive family ski area,
high altitude slopes, a good snow record
and child-friendly slopes.
Obergurgl - Ötztal (Inghams). One of
Tirol’s top family resorts, thanks to its
snow-sure slopes, generous beginner
pistes and welcoming ski instructors.

Beginners:

Andorra (Neilson). Beginner slopes reach
to the top of the mountain so learners can
enjoy taking in the views from the high
point at the end of their first week.
St Johann - Kitzbüheler Alps (Inghams):
Beginners learn on the gentle nursery
slopes, and under the guidance of the St
Johann ski school, they progress quickly.
