The service to Innsbruck offers convenient access to some of Europe’s most sought-after ski resorts, including Soll, Zell am See, Mayrhofen and Obergurgl, making it easier than ever for Irish holidaymakers to hit the slopes this winter. Crystal Ski’s reps are already in resort, ready to welcome skiers for the season.
Then from the 20th of December, Crystal Ski’s expansive winter program will take off to Austria, France, Italy, Andorra, Bulgaria, Switzerland and Slovenia. Whether you’re seeking the perfect mix of affordability and adventure in Bulgaria or exploring new resorts in Austria, Crystal Ski has tailored an unforgettable winter experience just for you.
Ski Trends:
Affordability continues to lead the charge this season, with skiers chasing value without losing out on quality. Crystal Ski has options for every budget with dedicated deals for under €700pp* and their weekly Deal of the Week* keeps cost-conscious travellers well covered.
The trend for securing early continues, driven by those who know exactly what they want and the Crystal Snow Promise*, (where Crystal Ski will do everything they can to get skiers on the slopes if there’s no snow*) provides customer with added reassurance.
But with early-season snowfall already hitting the resorts, spontaneous trips and late deals are holding strong and for many, the temptation to squeeze in more than one ski holiday is very real.
Crystal Ski’s package holidays take the hassle out of planning a winter getaway, with flights, transfers and accommodation all included. Ski essentials can also be added to your booking hassle free to ensure you have all you need for the slopes**. Whether you’re a seasoned skier looking for challenging runs, a family seeking gentle slopes for beginners, or simply someone who wants to soak up the atmosphere of aprés, Crystal Ski makes it all easily accessible.
