April ski holidays 2026
April skiing in France combines the thrill of the sport with the beauty of spring, offering a more laid-back and affordable alternative to the winter months.
Think it's too late to ski? Think again. Some of the best conditions of the whole season often arrive in April - just look at the huge snowfalls in late April 2024 and again in 2025, delivering fresh powder and unforgettable final turns. Quieter slopes, longer days, milder temperatures, sunshine, deep snow, and unmissable special offers all make April an under-the-radar gem for ski lovers.
Top reasons to choose April ski holidays
- Sunshine and Warmth: April often brings milder temperatures and sunny days, creating a more relaxed skiing experience. Skiing in a T-shirt isn't unusual.
- Fewer Crowds: By April, the peak tourist season is over. This means fewer crowds on the slopes and in the resorts, providing a more peaceful, spacious skiing experience. Shorter lift queues make it easier to maximise your time on the slopes.
- Cheaper Prices: Lift passes, accommodations, and even flights tend to be more affordable in April compared to the busy winter months. Many resorts offer late-season deals, making it an excellent time for budget-conscious skiers. Not to mention there are often plenty of kit offers too on skis, snowboards, boots and clothing!
- Extended Daylight Hours: The days are longer in April, giving skiers more time to enjoy the slopes. Plus, longer daylight allows for more après-ski activities or relaxing in the sun after a day of skiing.
- Easter Holidays: If Easter falls in April, some resorts offer special family-friendly activities, making it an ideal time for a family ski holiday.
- End of Season Parties: There’s always a brilliant vibe as skiers unite to celebrate the end of another brilliant season.
A little tip for April ski holidays. Some south facing runs may be slushier in the afternoon during late April, so we recommend an early start, continue skiing through lunch, and an early finish for a late lunch on a terrace in the sunshine.

Easter falls early April 2026
Easter falls a little earlier in 2026 with many UK schools breaking for the Easter holidays between 27 March & 19 April - perfect timing for a spring ski getaway. Next year, Good Friday is on 3rd April and Easter Sunday on 5th April, making it ideal for planning a holiday around the long weekend. Ski for six days and only take four off work, now that’s what we call a smart escape.
