During this off-peak ski season where weathers are milder and fewer guests are around, skiing in April is easier on the wallet and better for your leisure time. Where temperatures are warmer and days are longer, you’re guaranteed more time on the slopes and less waiting times at the ski lifts. To maximise a spring skiing holiday, it’s key to choose the snow resort with the most ideal conditions. If skiing in April sounds like the perfect holiday escape, here are the Club Med locations with the best conditions.

At this altitude, you should be good to go.
