Self Drive Ski Holidays
Make the most of the comfort and space that a self-drive ski holiday offers. Travel at your own pace and pack as much as you like.
Self Drive Skiing Holidays
Have you ever considered packing up the car and driving to the Alps? Self drive ski holidays are perfect for this season, enabling you to travel in your own personal space and not have to worry about luggage allowances or busy airport queues. A firm-favourite amongst families and groups, you could enjoy great value compared to the cost per person of booking a flight. What’s more, once you arrive you can take advantage of the freedom granted by having your car with you – why not drive over into a neighbouring resort for a day’s skiing or an evening meal?
Our self drive ski holidays are usually paired with self-catered accommodation, making for one easy cost that can be split up between your party.
Taking the Eurotunnel
Taking the Eurotunnel for your crossing into France means that you can enjoy motorway to motorway access and a choice of up to four departures per hour. As the fastest way to cross the channel by car, the Eurotunnel takes just 35 minutes, and passengers can remain within the comfort and privacy of their vehicle. Our self drive skiing packages include a return Eurotunnel fare for four people in one standard sized car. Speak to our experts today to find out more about self drive ski deals.
