Following the success of Crystal Ski Holidays’ ‘Slope Starters’, the company has expanded its offering for the third year running. Aimed at apprehensive beginner skiers and boarders, it’s now offering packages to Niederau in Austria, in addition to Soldeu in Andorra and Flaine in France.
Slope Starters is designed with the beginner skiing and snowboarding community in mind. Starting at £995 per person, the package includes return flights, 20kg luggage, half-board accommodation, transfers, ski lessons, equipment hire and a 6-day lift pass. The Niederau Slope Starters beginner week will run 1-8 February 2025, with Soldeu taking place 19-26 January and Flaine 8-15 March 2025.
Besides ski and snowboarding lessons, there’ll be activities on offer beyond the slopes. The week will start with welcome drinks at the hotel, partying at après-ski as well as access to the hotel’s spa and wellness facilities throughout the week.
Chris Logan, Managing Director, Crystal Ski Holidays, said: “At Crystal Ski Holidays, we are always looking for different ways to make skiing and snowboarding more accessible for beginners. Holidays in the mountains offer memorable and happy moments for our customers, and we want as many people as possible to be able to experience them.
“We’ve seen great demand of our Slope Starters offering over the past couple of years and we’re pleased to now be offering even more choice for our customers, with a third resort in Austria. With the aim to remove barriers to skiing and snowboarding for those who have never skied before, it lets people experience the fun you can have on – and off – the slopes. This programme allows everything to be taken care of in one complete package and gives travellers the chance to make new, like-minded friends along the way. We hope that once they’ve had their first taste, they’ll keep heading back to the snow time and time again to make more unforgettable memories.”
