Get ready to hit the slopes! London Gatwick Airport is offering over 250 flights to 15 top European ski destinations this winter, making it easier than ever for travelers to escape the city and enjoy the snowy wonderland.
With over 50 weekly flights to French hotspots like Chambery, Lyon, and Grenoble, all within the VINCI Airports network, passengers across London and the South East have seamless access to the slopes. Whether you’re seeking the thrills of the Italian Dolomites, the charm of Swiss chalets, the excitement of Austrian runs, or the unique allure of Finnish Lapland, Gatwick has you covered.
According to the travel blog Battleface, approximately 1.5 million Brits embark on ski holidays annually, with 29% choosing to hit the slopes twice a year. This growing demand has led to Gatwick’s commitment to offering a diverse range of destinations and airlines.
Stephanie Wear, VP Aviation Development, London Gatwick, said: “Every winter we welcome more than a million passengers jetting off with their skis and snowboards, so we know how popular these destinations are with our passengers. We are delighted to be able to offer such a breadth of choice this winter, with fantastic connectivity to a number of the best ski resorts across Europe.”
For those seeking the crème de la crème of European skiing, Val d’Isere, consistently ranked among the best, is easily accessible via Chambery, Lyon, Grenoble, and Geneva airports. Chamonix, another iconic ski destination, is just over an hour’s drive from both Geneva and Chambery.
Conde Nast’s list of underrated European ski resorts features gems like Villars-sur-Ollon, located 90 minutes from Geneva, Arabba Marmolada in Italy’s Dolomites (served by Bolzano Airport), and Borovets, just an hour from Sofia.
For a festive Christmas skiing getaway, consider flights to Ivalo, Kuusamo, Kittila, or Rovaniemi, all located in Finland’s enchanting Lapland region. Experience the magic of the Northern Lights while gliding down pristine slopes.
