The answer is

The best resorts to choose for your next ski holiday Skiing in Europe offers some of the most iconic mountain experiences in the world, but choosing the right resort can often feel overwhelming. Snow conditions, accessibility, terrain, atmosphere and suitability for your group all play a role, and getting it right can completely shape how the trip feels.

Our handpicked luxury chalet stays in the Alps There is a reason ski chalets remain one of the most sought-after ways to experience the mountains. It is not just about space or privacy, but about the feeling of having somewhere entirely your own.

For the 2026/27 season, we are seeing more

Where to ski during the UK summer months There is always a moment when ski season ends that feels slightly abrupt. One minute you are in the mountains, wrapped up in layers, planning your next run, and the next you are back in the UK, watching the snow melt and wondering how long it will be before you are back again.

The crisp air, the rhythm of the day, the quiet satisfaction of a long run well skied. And then, of course, comes après.

And while that side of Lapland absolutely exists, and is magical in its own way, it’s only one small part of the story. Lapland is vast, wild, deeply cultural, and full of natural wonders.

This is Dannie’s blog from her four-day trip to Lapland, a place many people instantly associate with children, Santa, and festive magic. Lapland, you say? Isn’t that just for kids? Well… not this kind of Lapland. This trip is designed entirely around adults (who are still kids at heart).

I’m currently sat in my hotel room at the wonderful Davvi Arctic Lodge in Finnish Lapland, watching the snow fall outside and feeling very smug about the fact that I’m warm. This is my fourth consecutive year coming to Lapland, and every year it somehow manages to get a little colder. So far this week, temperatures have dropped to -35°C, which means I can confidently say I’ve learnt (sometimes the hard way) exactly what works when it comes to dressing for the Arctic. Lapland

This snowy wonderland, just a short flight from the UK, is one of the most enchanting places on earth, where families can ride with reindeer, huskies, or snowmobiles, play in the snow under endless skies, and finally meet Santa in his own home. Meeting Father Christmas This is no shopping centre grotto, in Lapland, children visit Santa’s log cabin in the forest. After a husky r
