Let Us Take The Strain For Winter 2008/09

Early Booking Offers For Next Winter!




We’ve put together countless winter holidays for groups of all sizes, ages and abilities. Our experienced and knowledgeable sales team are here to advise and assist at every step of the way, ensuring you get the right holiday at the right price for your group.

Group Ski Holidays - There's Never Been A Better Time To Book

Size really does matter! Especially when you book a group ski holiday.  Great group discounts start for groups as small as 7 people and remember, the bigger the group, the better the savings.

Fantastic Group Ski Offers

Up to 25% Off Group Ski Holidays
We offer discounts of up to 25% on group ski holidays, depending on the size, departure date and destination of your group. We allow you to use your discount the way you choose, be it a straightforward price reduction across the whole group, or a customised saving such as free lift passes or private taxi transfers for your group.

*10% Off All Ski Pack Items
Confirm a new group booking of 10 paying people or more and pre-book all your group’s lift passes with us by 31st August 2008, and your group will be eligible for a 10% discount off all lift passes, equipment and tuition. Offer applies to all European holidays (Austria, Andorra, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Italy, Norway, Romania & Sweden).

Up To 25% Discount On All Chalets
Neilson chalets are the perfect choice for group ski holidays offering an informal, home-from-home atmosphere, plus fantastic service and catering from our highly trained chalet hosts. Fill a Neilson Chalet and you may be eligible for up to 25% off the holiday price.  Check out our chalets page for more details.

Free Pre-Booked Seats Together
Book a group of 7 people or more and we’ll arrange you ‘Seats Together’ on Thomas Cook or MyTravel flights. This means your group can check-in individually without having to wait around, and have complete reassurance that the whole group will be seated together on the flight.

Free Name Changes
We offer free name changes up to four weeks prior to departure for groups travelling on Thomas Cook or MyTravel charter flights giving you enough time to finalise your group details.

Flexible Departure Airports
Your group may be living in different parts of the UK but that doesn’t mean you lose out on great potential savings. We allow your group to fly from any UK airport we operate from. As long as you are all travelling on the same date to the same resort, your group will still be eligible for a discount.

There are a few things to take into account when organising a group ski holiday and giving them a little thought before the search process will help us to find you the perfect holiday.

Dates Of Travel
Your date of departure will have an impact on the price of your holiday and the level of discount we can offer. If your group is flexible on when they can travel, choosing January or March will mean the best savings. See the discount table below for more information on when you can get the best group discounts.

Ability Levels
It’s quite probable your group will be made up of mixed ability skiers and snowboarders so choosing a resort that suits all levels and disciplines, even non-skiers is essential. The list below shows our choice of the best ‘all-round resorts’.

Holiday Budget
Your group’s budget will determine lots of things including choice of country, type of resort and choice of accommodation. Which type of resort and accommodation you choose will have an impact on the holiday price. See the grid below for discounts on our top recommended group properties.

What Next?
Once these questions are answered, you'll be well on your way to knowing your group’s requirements. Our group advisors are used to the complexities of larger bookings and are on hand to make the whole process simple by recommending the most suitable resorts and properties for your group, and offering you the best group discounts.
