Skiing in April FAQ's

With a high altitude up to 3456m, Tignes offers a good snow record.

Reaching an altitude of up to 3,080m, Obergurgl is ideal for late season.

Saas fee boasts an altitude of up to 3,500m so you can be sure that this resort will offer you a snowy destination.

Banff has a resort altitude of an incredible 1,383 metres high so is a top choice for April.

The weather tends to be warmer, the sun is out for longer and the resorts tend to be a bit quieter and of course our high altitude resorts still have plenty of snow so it's a great option to go in April.

As an avid skier, you may know that April is still considered part of ski season. Surprisingly there is often 'spring snow storms' in high altitude resorts, meaning you can often wake up to a fresh blanket of snow. It's also good to note that glacier skiing is a great option at this time of year too.

Yes, if the resort is open for skiing then you will find the local shops, restaurants and cafes will be open as well to accommodate the visiting tourists.

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.

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.
