Conditions are perfect! February half term is one of the most popular times to go skiing and it’s no mystery why. With excellent snow coverage across the board, longer days and optimal temperatures, you’re unlikely to find a better time to hit the slopes! 

There’s plenty to do! Plenty of ski resorts offer the likes of torchlit descents, followed by ski shows. Specific resorts, such as Val Thorens, even host special children’s torchlit descents during school holidays.

On top of that, the usual dog sledding, tobogganing, ice skating, fine dining and more are available to you!

If you’re planning to head to Cortina in the upcoming 2026 February half term, then you’ll find yourself in the midst of the 2026 Winter Olympics and what could be more exciting than that?!

Things do get busy during the February half term period. UK, French, Dutch, Scandinavian and more school breaks overlap in mid-to-late February, so this can mean crowded slopes, hotels, bars and lessons.

This is even more reason to get yourself booked up as quickly as possible with your accommodation, mountain pass, ski hire, and lessons. The atmosphere during a busy ski season is unbeatable, so you don’t want to miss it.

February half term is what we call a “peak week”, and not just because it’s a great time to hit the peaks! 

This is a time of the year where many families are looking to squeeze in a skiing trip and because of this, prices do tend to go up. Around February half term, self-catered ski apartments tend to represent relatively better value, but that’s not to say that we can’t help you find a great deal elsewhere. 

While we do offer some great last-minute deals, it definitely makes sense to get your trip booked as soon as possible. 

Here at Ski Solutions, we do offer some amazing last-minute deals, but if you’re looking to get yourself on a skiing trip where everything is a sure thing and no compromises have to be made, then early booking is more or less essential! 

Around this time of year, people like to book their places in ski schools early, as well as ski hire and mountain passes, so unless you have your own equipment and don’t need lessons, you should think about getting your bookings sorted asap!
