As soon as winter rolls around, it becomes increasingly tempting to start thinking about escaping the short, dark and somewhat depressing days in London and the rest of the UK; in turn swapping them for some fun-filled adventures in the mountains.
A short ski break can be the ultimate remedy to a bout of the winter blues, ditching the office on Thursday or Friday and returning the next week with a revitalised spirit. Here at flexiski, we’re experts at planning and organising short ski trips, often encompassing the weekend, to bag you a much-needed break while minimising the necessary holiday days.
A big factor here is travel time. When flying out of London and into an airport like Geneva or Chambéry, it’s key to limit as much time 'wasted' on travel periods like airport transfers and other transport. Of course, when travelling from the UK, it helps to be located close to one of the many London airports but this factor is often non-negotiable.
Something that can be taken into your own hands is choosing a ski resort that’s closely located to one of the European Alps serving airports. The most popular of which is Geneva, with its frequent flight times and cheaper availability; although it is worth considering the likes of Grenoble and Chambéry, which are located further into the mountains and closer to many resorts.
This article will attempt to offer you the best choice of ski resort, predominantly found in France, in relation to maximising the amount of time skiing and minimising the travel time from London.
