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
The world's largest ski area, Les 3 Vallées in France, bids farewell to the ski season on May, 5. Its vast network of lifts and slopes across the ski resorts of Val Thorens, Méribel, Courchevel and Les Menuires caters to all levels, offering sun-soaked slopes and a lively atmosphere in spring. We recommend taking a day off the slopes to explore the local spas, where wellness and relaxation are the orders of the day.
Tignes offers a unique spring skiing experience with its ski-in, ski-out hotels, meaning the slopes are literally at your doorstep. It is renowned for its high-altitude skiing and vibrant spring vibe. Closing on May 5, the resort ensures quality snow late into the season, complemented by spirited après-ski activities.
Nestled within the impressive Innsbruck Ski Area, and easily accessible from Innsbruck Airport, its season stretches until May 20, offering excellent snow conditions late into the season. The vast glacier ensures a consistent snowpack, catering to both beginners and advanced skiers. Did you know, Stubai Glacier is home to Austria's highest restaurant, the Jochdohle, sitting at 3,150 meters. After a morning on the slopes, skiers can enjoy panoramic views while savouring Tyrolean specialities.
Boasting one of the longest ski seasons, Zell am See captivates with its picturesque views and well-groomed runs until June 2! The extended daylight hours in spring allow for more time on the slopes, before enjoying the sun on one of the many terraces. Beyond skiing, visitors can take a serene boat tour on Lake Zell, offering a different perspective of the breathtaking Alpine landscape.

The "Pearl of the Alps" ends its season on April 21. The resort provides a tranquil spring skiing setting with its impressive glacier, allowing skiing to continue until late April. The resort's Allalin Ice Pavilion, an ice cave carved into the glacier, provides an enchanting underground adventure.
Zermatt stands out with its year-round skiing, thanks to the Matterhorn Glacier. It's the ultimate destination for spring skiing enthusiasts not ready to say goodbye to the slopes, offering unmatched views and conditions. Skiing aside, visitors can enjoy a ride on the Gornergrat railway, one of the highest cog railways in Europe, for spectacular mountain vistas.
As you can see, there's still plenty of snow in the season, allowing for ski fun well into the warmer temperatures. Spring snow may not always be of the highest quality, but if you know how and, more importantly, when to take advantage of it, skiing in March and April becomes a real delight with plenty of benefits and at a lower price.
