8 good reasons to ski in spring!

In March or April, it's up to you to take the slopes because Skiing in spring is a great idea! Here are our 8 good reasons to book your ski holiday when the good weather arrives.

1. Mild temperatures for skiing in spring

At this time of year, the sun warms more than in winter and there is still snowfall (depending on the general snowfall of the season of course). To ensure better snow, opt for high altitude ski resorts in spring and with good exposure!

2. In spring the ski slopes are less crowded

There are fewer skiers on the slopes in the spring. This allows for more serene skiing - but always wear a helmet -, better quality snow and it is also ideal for beginners who would like to learn quietly. 

3. Longer spring days for skiing

Obviously, the further we go in the year, until the summer solstice on June 21, the longer the days become. This means more potential time on the slopes and longer ski sessions!

6. The stations are lively until the end of the season

Spring is always the ski season and the activities are going well! More and more resorts are developing activities until late in the season. For example, we have taken the time to write A guide to winter festivals on the ski slopes and many take place in March or April.

7. Spring snow is ideal for ski touring

Going skiing does not only mean hurtling down the slopes on downhill skis. There are many other possible disciplines: we have also listed in this article 8 eco-friendly activities to do in the mountains. And as for ski touring, the conditions are easier, with denser snow, you get tired less and enjoy it more while being able to better control the risk of avalanches, which is strongly linked to the amount of sunshine and the time of day.

8. The mountain in all seasons

By coming to ski in the spring, you allow the population flows to be spread out, which is practical for you with fewer people on the slopes but which is also good for nature which sees fewer people descending at the same time. Finally, for local mountain stakeholders, you allow the season and the activity in general to continue.
