Spring is an ideal time to hit the slopes: carve down the pistes while soaking up the sun, stop at an altitude restaurant before making the most of the fun après-ski. Pierre & Vacances is offering early-bird discounts on many residences. Save up to 20% when staying at Residence Les Bergers, which is situated 100 meters from the centre of the resort and lifts, in Alpe d’Huez, France. Nicknamed the “Island of Sun”, the resort is famous for its 250 km of pistes and its impressive number of sunny days, but it is also labelled “Famille Plus”, which means fun for the entire family is guaranteed. At the end of a full-on day, enjoy a hot chocolate before jumping in the heated pool, or simply rest in the cosy apartment before savouring a delicious traditional meal at the restaurant inside the residence.
A week’s stay from 6 April 2019, is priced from £929 (was £1,162, saving 20%) for a standard 1-bedroom self-catering apartment (sleeping 5/6). Return flights, transfers and lift pass extra.
