Skiing under the spring sun - does it get any better than this? One minute you're sliding down the slopes and the next you're enjoying tapas on the terraces, soaking up the sun.

As winter gradually fades and the landscape begins to thaw, spring emerges as an unsung hero for ski enthusiasts. If you think about it, the benefits of skiing in Spring outweigh the downsides by far: The weather is so much nicer, with longer, sunny bluebird days, fewer crowds on the slopes and lower prices. Demand, along with prices, takes a dip in Spring, offering a moment of opportunity between the peak-priced half-term and the Easter school holidays.

This all sounds well and good, but where can you still find good snow at the end of the season? We've put together the 10 best ski resorts where skiing holidays in spring are the most enjoyable and where the end of the season is still a long way off

We recommend taking a day off the slopes to explore the local spas, where wellness and relaxation are the orders of the day.
