According to Martin Rouse, Managing Director of Ski & Trek, “We offer a range of fantastic ski clothing for men, women and children, all at great prices. Our gear is high quality, despite coming in at a budget price – why not save some money on the ski clothing this year and really splash out on one of these fantastic destinations?”
Val Thorens, located in France, is Europe’s highest ski resort, and also welcomes the most international visitors; over 70% of Val Thorens’ skiers are foreign holidaymakers. Located in the French Alps the resort’s highest skiable peak, Pointe du Bouchet (3,200m) affords wonderful views of the surrounding mountain scenery.
Zermatt, situated in the Swiss Alps close to the Italian border, offers skiers guaranteed Christmas snow and a wonderfully picturesque location, great restaurants and a laid-back, relaxing atmosphere.
Solden in the Austrian Alps is one of Europe’s most well-known ski resorts, and with good reason. The resort has a fantastic party atmosphere and is the only ski destination in Austria with three mountains higher than 3,000m.
Merano 2000 is one of Italy’s most popular ski destinations. The resort is a great place to visit at Christmas thanks to its buzzing seasonal market, and also has over 40km of easily-accessible ski slopes.
Verbier is a magnet for experienced skiers, and demands a high-level of skiing expertise. It is also a popular holiday destination amongst the rich and famous, with regular visitors including Princes William and Harry, Victoria Beckham and James Blunt. Of course, this also makes the resort one of Europe’s most expensive ski destinations.

Ski & Trek Offer Tips on How to Cut the Costs of your Ski Holiday this Year

Posted on by

As a result of the recession, even the most avid skiers are beginning to wonder if they can afford a skiing holiday this year.
The team at Ski & Trek, the company at the forefront of North West skiing retail, have come up with not one, but two excellent ways to beat the recession and get your holiday plans back on piste this year.
Firstly, they suggest that rather than forking out for flights, you get in your car and drive to the Alps. You won’t be alone. Last winter ferry company P&O reported a significant rise in winter car and passenger traffic, despite the fact that overall the number of Britons taking ski holidays fell by 13 per cent.
According to P&O’s Brian Rees, Many of those extra cars and passengers were heading for the Alps
The Ski & Trek team are so confident that this is a cheaper alternative to flying, they actually did it themselves last year, Last winter I drove to the Swiss Alps; it’s a breeze compared to how it was 20 years ago
The autoroutes cost about £55 each way in tolls, depending on your destination, and it took me (without breaking speed limits and stopping only for diesel, coffee, sandwiches and the occasional leg stretch) just over seven hours from Calais to parking outside my accommodation in Villars, Switzerland
On top of this cheap alternative to flying, Ski & Trek are offering to kit-out a family of four in ski-gear for just £340. The package is set to include both adult male and female outfits and two kids’ Dare2b freeride outfits. What’s more, customers who quote this article when they contact Ski & Trek will be eligible to receive a further 10% off.
Don’t let the recession stop you from enjoying a great skiing holiday this year – simply follow Ski & Trek’s advice and you’re guaranteed to have great fun for a great price.
