It has been snowing over Savoie Mont Blanc, and it looks like the end of the season might be very good!
Most ski resorts in Savoie Mont Blanc are open until the end of April – some like Tignes and Val Thorens are open even later!
Spring skiing has many great advantages: it is often cheaper, less busy, sunnier and warmer which makes it an ideal time to go with young children, and the days are longer to enjoy some fun après-ski in the sun! And moreover, April is now packed with events.
