Skiing in December FAQ's

It varies from place to place but the European Alps are usually adequately covered with snow for the lifts to open from December- April. However, much depends on many different weather circumstances.

Most European and Canadian resorts are open from November to May - ideally the peak times to go would be December to April. However, if you are going in November - we would suggest Lapland/Finland as it is close to the Arctic Circle, if you are are going in May, we would suggest high-altitude resorts, ideally with Glaciers.

December in Lapland

Fancy something a little different this ski season? Lapland has the slopes you love - plus husky sledding, reindeer sleighs, and the glow of the Northern Lights. With flights, cosy stays and plenty of activities to choose from, you can focus on what matters - creating unforgettable memories.
