⛷🎇SPEND NEW YEARS ON THE SLOPES🎇⛷
With snow-sure pistes, a fun, festive atmosphere, the certainty of fireworks against a mountain backdrop and some spectacular torchlit descents, a ski holiday is the perfect way to ring in 2023.

Ideal for families who want to take advantage of school holidays and groups looking to celebrate New Year in style, there really is nothing like a New Year's Eve party in the mountains.

Pictured are:

4⭐️HOTEL EUROSKI MOUNTAIN RESORT
Soldeu & El Tarter, Andorra
Hotel Euroski lies in a beautiful location in Andorra surrounded by stunning mountains, at the shores of Grandvalira. You can expect a warm and friendly welcome from the hotel’s attentive staff. The hotel also comes complete with a range of facilities to ensure that your stay in Andorra is comfortable and relaxing.

3⭐️HOTEL LANZ
Livigno, Italy
The Hotel Lanz is a family-run hotel that takes pride in ensuring that its guests are warmly welcomed, feel right at home and that they enjoy some delicious hearty food during their stay. Located in a quiet and peaceful spot, access to the ski lifts is just as convenient as can be.

4⭐️HOTEL JAKOBWIRT
Westendorf, Austria
A traditional hotel, the Hotel Jakobwirt is a long established partner of Topflight. In a superb location in the heart of the village, it is only 200m from the ski lifts and only 100m from the school meeting place and the ski slopes.

3⭐️HOTEL CATALUNYA
Pas de la Casa, Andorra
The location of this lovely hotel is simply excellent for skiing in the area. You are based just 50 metres away from the ski lift to the Pas de la Casa sector in Grandvalira. Not only is the hotel ideally located for those who want to make the very most of the fantastic ski conditions but it is close to all of the popular Pas de la Casa hot spots for energetic and fun aprés-ski.

And our Directors Michael & Catherine rocking the slopes!!!
