Our favourite ski holidays in Europe

Every year, Europe draws thousands of winter sport enthusiasts from all over the world to its snowy mountain top towns. Braving the cold and steep declines, our Lightfoot Travel ski specialists have created an exclusive portfolio of bespoke luxury skiing holidays and chalets, providing you with access to the finest slopes and resorts in the European Alps of France, Switzerland and Italy.

Verbier is one of Switzerland’s guaranteed snow resorts due to its high altitude, and the mountains offer something to suit all skiers and snowboarders whatever your ability. Dedicated nursery areas provide a safe and fun space for novices and beginners, and a number of excellent ski schools provide private or group lessons for those with more expertise. If you yearn for an off-piste challenge, heli-skiing is also available along with a plethora of fabulous après-ski options.

For the serious skier, a private ski safari will take you beyond the crowds of commercial pistes to otherwise inaccessible descents over spectacular snowy mountain terrain.
