The February half term is not just about families; teachers (and others in the education sector) can make the most of deals too. Home to the highest glacier skiing in France and 200 km of slopes, the resort of Les Deux Alpes is an ideal destination for a ski holiday during February half term.
Located at the end of the valley, not far from the village centre, 3* Ibiza Hotel offers rustic charm with a modern twist. The extensive lifts can be reached by a short 15-minute walk or by the free-shuttle bus. After a day on the slopes, relax in the spacious lounge, sip an après-ski drink on the large, south-facing terrace, or dive into the indoor heated pool and swim a few lengths before making the most of the sauna and hammam.
