European discount airline Easyjet recently released the top-10 winter ski resort destinations by British skiers and have compiled them into a hot list. Ski Rebel Magazine has managed to get a copy and has them available for you if you read on…
10. Arinsal, Andorra
9. Soll, Austria
8. Innsbruck, Austria
7. Kitzbuhel, Austria
6. Val d’Isere, France
5. Pas de la Casa, Andorra
4. Les Arcs 1800, France
3. Meribel, France
2. Avoriaz, France
1. Chamonix, France
Easyjet found that France attracts over 50 per cent of all their British customers, so its no surprise to see French resorts taking the top slots. Chamonix and Avoriaz are real favourites with British skiers, thanks to the ease of access from Geneva with transfer times of just over and hour, coupled with the wide availability of easyJet flights from across 13 UK airports.
In Austria the popular resorts of Kitzbühel and Söll are within easy reach of Innsbruck, each between 30-90 minutes transfer time. The airline reports this relatively new route for them is proving to be a success with independent skiers.
The inclusion of the Andorran resorts of Pas de la Casa and Arinsal in the top ten is somewhat of a surprise. Although further from the arrival airports, with transfer times from Barcelona of 3 hours, Andorra is still perceived as offering great value for apres ski, while investment in lifts in recent years has brought them up on a par with some of the top French resorts.
With excellent snow conditions in European ski resorts this year, easyJet believes bookings will continue to be strong throughout Easter as skiers take advantage of its range of ski flights from 13 UK airports to nine European ski airports, across six countries.
