Traditionally, most ski holidays are a week long, but with less time on our hands, more of us are opting to go away for shorter breaks. Hays Travel's website provides the option to book a short ski break, meaning you can head to the piste for the weekend. If you're travelling further afield for your ski holiday, you may like to spend longer on the slopes - and Hays Travel's longer duration holidays allow you to do just that.

Hays Travel's ski experts are all seasoned skiers themselves. These fully trained travel advisors can offer first class advice on the best resort to suit your ability and taste. They can arrange equipment hire, lift passes and tuition so that your ski holiday is as smooth and hassle free as possible. Hays can also arrange snowboarding holidays, with lessons and equipment provided.
