Crystal Ski, the UK’s largest ski package holiday provider, has added eight resorts across France, Italy, Andorra, Sweden and Austria for Winter 2026/27.

From family-friendly destinations and traditional mountain towns to lesser-known alpine gems, the expanded programme gives customers more ways to enjoy a winter escape. Alongside skiing and snowboarding for a range of abilities, the new resorts offer experiences including thermal spas, snowshoeing, ice skating and relaxed après ski in local cafés and wine bars.

In France, Crystal has added Le Grand Bornand, Valmorel, St Gervais – Le Fayet and Puy Saint Vincent. Combining access to the vast 445km Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area with a traditional mountain-town atmosphere, St Gervais – Le Fayet offers excellent value without peak-resort prices. Visitors can enjoy a day on the slopes before unwinding in the naturally heated waters of the Thermes de Saint-Gervais. Also available as a short break, it offers an easy mountain escape for those looking to combine skiing with relaxation.

In Italy, Ponte di Legno combines authentic alpine character with 100km of varied skiing, from the beginner-friendly slopes of Passo Tonale to the Presena Glacier and more challenging forest runs. Its cafés, boutiques and wine bars make it equally appealing away from the pistes.

Newly added Canillo in Andorra offers excellent value, with holidays starting from £745 per person. The peaceful, family-friendly village provides access to the extensive Grandvalira ski area, including gentle beginner slopes at El Forn and scenic runs towards El Tarter. Away from skiing, families can experience the Pyrenean zipline and alpine coaster at Mon(t) Magic Family Park, making it a strong option for a more varied mountain holiday.

Completing the line-up are Lindvallen in Sweden, which offers family-friendly skiing and a distinctly Scandinavian winter experience, and Landskron in Austria, a lakeside resort combining traditional alpine character with easy access to varied slopes. And booking is simple, with all packages including flights, accommodation and transfers together in one convenient package, with the option to add lift passes, equipment hire and ski or snowboard lessons before travelling.

Scott Britton, Head of Crystal Ski said: “Winter is just around the corner and we’re really excited to give customers even more choice for this season. Our new resorts offer more than great skiing, with traditional mountain towns, family activities, local food and drink, and opportunities to relax and enjoy the winter scenery.

He continued, “We want to make getting to the mountains as simple and convenient as possible, bringing flights, accommodation, transfers and expert support together in one hassle-free package. With eight new resorts joining our programme, there’s even more to discover, whether it’s your first ski holiday or you’re looking for somewhere new to explore. We can’t wait to welcome customers back to the mountains.”
