December Ski Holidays

If you can't wait to hit the slopes this 2025/2026 winter season, booking a December ski holiday is definitely the way to go!

Some of you may be asking yourselves if December is too early to go skiing, and the answer is, never! All you need to know is where are the most snow-sure ski resorts in Europe ;)

If you want to avoid the crowds during Christmas and New Year, the beginning of December is when you get to have all the slopes to yourself! And you can find some really cheap ski deals as well.

The best ski resorts to go skiing in Early December in Europe

1. Tignes

Tignes Ski Resort is usually open from the end of November (La Grande-Motte Glacier is open from October!). This ski area is one of the most snow-sure ski resorts to visit in December and is also known for having the longest ski season in Europe!

If you’re looking for a short ski holiday in Tignes before peak season, we have some really cheap ski deals that include a self-catered apartment right on the slopes.

2. Les 2 Alpes

Les Deux Alpes has the largest glacier in Europe and the highest runs in France so, you can book your ski holiday knowing that you’ll definitely be able to ski in early December. Our Les 2 Alpes ski deals for this time of the year all include a self-catered apartment located a short walk from the ski lifts and chairlifts in Les Deux Alpes.

3. Val d’Isère

It’s on the top ten list of the world’s best ski resorts! It also connects with the Tignes ski area so if you’re looking to maximise your time on the slopes, you can also buy a combined ski pass and ski in both resorts. Over 50% of the slopes are blue, so it’s an excellent ski destination in the French Alps if you’re travelling with beginner/intermediate skiers and snowboarders.

4. Val Thorens

Val Thorens ski resort is a great option any time of the year as it’s known for having an excellent record with snowfall from the beginning of the season right through to May (it’s the highest ski resort in Europe). This ski area is perfectly suitable for beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. And great après-ski is a guarantee here! Book your Val Thorens ski holiday at the best price on Esquiades.com

5. Grindelwald - Wengen

The Grindelwald-Wengen ski area is also usually open from the end of November so you can also expect great snow conditions if you’re looking to book a ski holiday in early December. Expect to see amazing mountain scenery and find plenty of easy runs for children and beginners. It’s the best ski resort in Switzerland for a family ski holiday.

6. Arosa Lenzerheide

This is another excellent ski resort in Switzerland if you’re travelling with keen beginners and intermediate skiers and snowboarders as the majority of slopes are blue. On Esquiades.com you’ll find plenty of hotels and apartments located really close to Arosa so you can maximise your time on the slopes.

7. Davos Klosters

It’s one of the largest ski resorts in Switzerland and suitable for different types of skiers and snowboarders: there are 6 different ski areas, each of them designed for a different level. On Esquiades.com you’ll find a selection of hotels scattered in the different areas so you can book the option that best suits you!

8. Innsbruck

Skiing in Austria in early December is definitely the way forward as its ski resorts are very popular during peak dates of the ski season. On Esquiades.com you’ll find fantastic ski holidays to visit the ski resorts surrounding Innsbruck, known as Olympia Skiworld Innsbruck. On Esquiades.com your ski pass will give you access to all of these ski areas as well as loads of après-ski activities.

With Esquiades you can also customize your booking and add ski extras with great discounts!
