As schools begin planning their next big adventure, Easter is becoming an increasingly popular time for school ski trips.
With the Winter Olympics taking place in Italy during February half term, availability for that period will be limited, making Easter a great alternative. But how do you choose the best destination for your school’s Easter 2026 school ski trip? Here’s what to consider.
-
Snow-Sure Resorts – The Key to a Great Easter School Ski Trip 2026
One of the biggest concerns for an Easter ski trip is snow reliability. Higher-altitude resorts and glacier skiing provide the best conditions in April. When choosing your destination, look for resorts that:
- Are above 1,800m to ensure good snow coverage
- Have north-facing slopes, which help preserve the snow
- Offer artificial snowmaking for added reliability
Popular snow-sure destinations include Austria, France, and Andorra, all of which have fantastic late-season skiing opportunities.
-
Quieter Slopes, More Time Skiing
Unlike February half-term, Easter tends to be less crowded, meaning your students can enjoy shorter lift queues, more space to learn, and a relaxed atmosphere—ideal for school groups. This makes Easter a great choice for both beginners and advanced skiers.

Availability & Cost – Why Easter Makes Sense
With the Winter Olympics in Italy in February 2026, ski resort demand will be high, making Easter a better option for availability. Easter ski trips also offer better value for money, with competitive prices compared to peak season.
By booking early, you get the best choice of:
- Resorts with excellent snow conditions
- Accommodation options suited to school groups
- High-quality ski schools and instructors
-
The Extra Benefits of an Easter Ski Trip
Spring skiing isn’t just about great snow—there are additional perks, including:
- Milder temperatures, making lessons more comfortable
- Longer daylight hours, allowing for more time on the slopes
- A fantastic atmosphere, with après-ski activities tailored for schools
