You can be back up on the ski slopes in one month’s time!

Read on to find out where you can enjoy some early season skiing.

Early season skiing in Tignes

The hugely popular French ski resort of Tignes plans to open even earlier than last year which is great news for keen skiers. The resort will open its slopes on the Grande Motte glacier on the 4th of October! This isn’t even autumn skiing, it’s late summer skiing – what a treat!

About Gareth

Skiing was something that was sort of forced on me as a child. When my parents signed me up for the school ski trip when I was 11, I think I sulked for a whole month! However, I have no idea how to thank them as I haven’t looked back since!
