DECEMBER SKIING: BE THE FIRST ON THE SLOPES

If you’re reminiscing over colder days, there’s no better fix than booking the first flight for the winter 2025/26 ski season. You’re not the only one counting down the days, so get your piste pals together for fresh tracks and chairlift chats. It’s the perfect time to book your ski holiday and an early-season trip can be one of the best times.

If you’re looking to rack up the mileage and ski until your hearts content, hitting the slopes in early December before the Christmas period is ideal. You can expect quieter slopes, shorter lift queues and more chance of the perfect table for lunch. Plus, ski schools are also quieter so class sizes will be smaller, and you can get more personalised instruction. But above all, hitting the slopes early December means you’ll have plenty of time to sneak in another trip later in the season.

From the charming resorts of Austria and all-ability skiing in Italy to the budget-friendly Bulgaria, there is plenty of resorts to browse. Crystal Ski bundles your flights, transfers and accommodation into one easy package, plus the option to add your ski essentials means everything can be organised before you even arrive.

What’s more, take advantage of Crystal Ski’s current lift pass offer, buy two lift passes and get one free*! Use this mountain size saving as your excuse to lock in your trip to the slopes.
