Although the ski season is well underway, there is still plenty of time to hit the slopes for a snow-sure getaway before it comes to an end. As the weather warms up and the slopes get quieter, late-season skiing is the perfect opportunity to make the most of a trip to the mountains.
Ian McIlrath, Managing Director of Ski Solutions comments:
"End of season skiing in one of our higher altitude resorts can be truly wonderful. I have many fond memories of times spent in Val d'Isère and Tignes. It doesn't get much better than a morning cruising less-crowded slopes, followed by a lengthy, open-air terrace lunch. There's also more daylight time to ski or, if pushing yourself to the limits isn't your thing, there's the chance to strip off that ski gear and top up the tan!"
Below, we have rounded up a range of high-altitude resorts for those final ski trips of the 2023/24 season on behalf of Ski Solutions.
Val d'Isère, France - Ski Holidays
One of the world's favourite ski resorts, Val d'Isère, has the longest winter in the Alps with the ski season continuing into late May making the resort snow-sure and great for all ages and abilities. Val d'Isère has access to the best all-round ski area in the world, Espace Killy, with more than 300km of piste-skiing and plenty of off-piste powder fields. For those looking for activities off the slopes, guests can get their adrenaline pumping with BMW ice driving, dog sledding, and winter walking. For social butterflies, the après-ski scene in Val d'Isère is world class and varied after being introduced to the slopes in the 80s.
No 1 Bellevarde
The perfect choice for a family or group of friends, No 1 Bellevarde is situated on the edge of Santons piste, meaning guests can ski-in and ski-out of the property, maximising time spent on the slopes. This slopeside chalet oozes character and rustic charm, with an open fireplace and floor to ceiling windows. The chalet also benefits from a hot tub with aerial views.

Purpose built to ensure skiers could wake up as close to the pistes as possible, there is a wealth of ski-in ski-out accommodation available in Tignes. Sitting at a high resort altitude, Tignes is a great option for late-season skiing and offers a variety of slopes as well as access to high-altitude glacial runs on the Grande Motte Glacier. The ski area also links up with Val d'Isère, which gives skiers even more access to unparalleled skiing.
Hotel Le Levanna
Built in a wooden and stone-chalet style, this hotel offers an authentic Alpine experience right on the slopes. Transport times to the slopes are minimal thanks to the ski-in ski-out nature of Hotel Le Levanna.

Boasting its own restaurant and bar, Hotel Le Levanna has everything needed for a great late-season trip.

Evenings in Cervinia provide a lively atmosphere amongst the town's many bars and restaurants, with plenty of picturesque streets to stroll around.
