It must be September as we are starting to see all the winter season launch videos! Here's a great effort from Les Sybelles - a pedestrianised resort in the Maurienne Valley with a reputation as a great family destination.

A beautiful part of Switzerland at any time of the year.

Get ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush at Glacier 3000! 🌟
The Alpine Coaster offers 520° circles, 10 curves, 6 waves, and 3 jumps at speeds up to 40 km/h on a thrilling 1 km ride. 🎢🏔️

For those of us who love Zermatt (and here at Snow Broker we'd certainly class it as one of our favourite places to ski) it is heart-warming to see the reopening of the vital rail link from Visp. The horrendous flooding just a couple of months ago washed away large sections of the line and yet over £9 million worth of repairs have been completed in just under 10 weeks.

We are expecting the launch of the new EES to cause chaos during the first few weeks of the ski season and particularly on busy Saturdays. Wish your travel agent could find a supplier that would think outside the box and organise a ski holiday with travel in quieter midweek days? Just ask them to get in touch with us as everything we do is tailor made.

The EU's post-Brexit Entry/Exit System, EES, will launch on 10th November ahead of the winter ski season.

Keep an eye out for the release of this film tomorrow as Zugspitze in Germany says goodbye to its glacier. To think that summer skiing was a thing here not so long ago seems crazy.

Members of our private Agents Group have just had access to a great value all-inclusive family Christmas holiday in the French Alps, thanks to our new collaboration with Belambra Clubs. If you haven't joined the group just search for "Snow Broker - Agents" and request access. We only work with the trade though so if you are not a travel agent you'll need to give your friendly local agent a nudge!

An interesting read and with so much work to do it was always going to be a short honeymoon period for a new government! We will continue, as we have done over the past couple of years, to make a noise about the importance of the outbound travel sector to the UK economy. It wouldn't take much effort to remove the barriers to gap year mobility and the gaping hole in the withdrawal agreement could be fixed with a youth mobility scheme. Wouldn't it be great to see a return to 25,000 seasonal chalet staff in the Alps every winter!

What a great idea this is and we hope it becomes a reality. An overnight sleeper train to Innsbruck and Venice would really open up so many options in the Austrian Tyrol and the Dolomites. Research shows that so many more skiers are mindful of their impact on the environment nowadays, but in order to use trains rather than planes we need the facilities to be in place.

It would depart from Brussels with connections from the UK. It is claimed there is a growing interest in train travel from British skiers, but numbers remain small.

29/06/2024

It has been a busy week with quotes and bookings in the last few days to Cervinia, Zinal, La Plagne, Tignes, Livigno, Morzine, Geilo, Mayrhofen and St Anton amongst others. We are here to help organise your tailor made ski holidays and often work evenings and weekends, so just ask your friendly local travel agent to contact us and we'll get on the case! Have a great weekend everyone!

Snowboxx is one of the best festivals of the ski season. We can get you there!

Matterhorn Zermatt Bergbahnen is a company that is constantly innovating and striving to offer the best facilities for visitors to this little corner of paradise. Have you ever imagined riding on top of a cable car with the wind in your hair? Wish we were there now for some summer skiing and to enjoy the delightful town of Zermatt.

On World Environment Day the Ski Club have provided a handy set of links to help us all to reduce our environmental impact when heading to the slopes. Let's be honest, it's in our interest to do so as the snow is pretty crucial to the success of our ski holidays!

Today is World Environment Day! 🌍

Together we can create a sustainable future for the planet which supports our lives and continues to provide opportunities for snowsports. The environment has a critical role in in the ski industry and over recent years the serious effects of climate change have been felt in resorts across the world.

From simple changes such as travelling to resort by train, renting or buying your ski gear second hand, or choosing an environmentally responsible ski resort can all help make a huge difference!

We have put together a few resources to help you make your next ski trip more sustainable as well as some information on the overall effect on our environment, find out more below:

Resort uplift facilities are so important to the winter sports we all enjoy but we don't always realise just how much time and money is spent on maintenance. Love this clip from Stubai Glacier in Austria!

18/05/2024

The Tux valley and it's year round ski area are fabulous at this time of year. If you've never been skiing in summer and fancy trying just let us know. We can make it happen!

14/05/2024

Ever fancied seeing the Alps without their winter coat? There's so much to do in summer from walking and biking to tennis, golf, days by the lake or visits to medieval towns. The culinary scene is wonderful too!

Our sister company Host Savoie has two chalets open all year round in the charming resort of Morzine, just over an hour from Geneva. Get in touch if you'd like to know more!

After 13 winter seasons we are very excited to be offering Chalet Chez Claude throughout Summer 2024.

We know that it will be a great addition to our portfolio, and we are sure that there will be plenty of you keen to visit!

Claude is offered on a self-catered basis and sleeps up to 13 people. Through this week we'll be sharing some of our favourite parts of Chalet Chez Claude but if you can't wait to find out more then you can visit our website - https://hostsavoie.co.uk/catered-ski-chalet/selfCatered-chalet-chez-claude.htm

Most resorts have now brought down the curtain on their ski season, but if you are determined to keep skiing it is absolutely possible and conditions are currently good in a handful of European resorts!

Meanwhile, here at Snow Broker HQ we are being kept busy by agents looking for great early deals for their clients. In the last few days we have been sending out Winter 2024/25 quotes for Zermatt, Bardonecchia, Sestriere, Val Thorens, Tignes, Trysil, Flaine, Mayrhofen, Obergurgl and more!

Several more resorts closed at the weekend, but skiing is still possible. Spring skiing continues and it looks good for the start of summer glacier skiing.

03/05/2024

No wonder so many people consider Val Thorens to be Europe's best ski resort. Look at these conditions in May!

15/04/2024

What a wonderful long season they have in Levi and it is incredible how they store snow in order to guarantee a great start to the race season in the autumn.

Finland's Levi Ski Resort keeps skiing and boarding well into May, but has now closed its World Cup run to start piling snow up on it to store over summer ready for its October opening for 24-25 and then November hosting of what's expecting to be both Men's and Women's World Cup races later this year.

02/04/2024

After a great last couple of weeks in Zell am See and Corvara Andy from Snow Broker is now in the Portes du Soleil until the end of the season. The conditions were just incredible in Avoriaz today with fresh snow and then sunshine.

14/03/2024

Always a fun event in the Portes du Soleil calendar. There are several great music festivals on snow nowadays. Have you ever been to one?

12/03/2024

Incredible March conditions in Bulgaria too, not just the Alps!

09/03/2024

No words needed! What an epic March so far.

06/03/2024

What's not to love about this photo?! Fabulous March snowfall and the beauty of the PistenBully 600!
