RESORTS

A self-drive ski holiday gives you the freedom to choose the best ski resorts, accommodation and travel schedule for your group. With your own ski van, you can explore different parts of the mountain, access neighbouring resorts and make the most of some of Europe's largest ski areas.

Below are some of our favourite ski resorts for self-drive ski holidays, combining excellent skiing, great value accommodation and easy access to the slopes.

MONTALBERT

WHY WE LIKE IT

Montalbert offers excellent value accommodation and direct access to the vast Paradiski ski area. Connected to La Plagne by high-speed lifts, it provides access to world-class skiing while retaining the charm and affordability of a traditional Alpine village. With your own ski van, you can easily explore neighbouring areas such as Les Arcs, making the most of one of Europe's largest ski domains without paying premium resort prices.
