Ski VS Beach - which holiday would you choose?

When the British winter has well and truly set in and you feel as though you haven't seen the sun in months there's only one thing to do… fly away!

But where?

When faced with a decision as seemingly tricky as Ski vs Beach there is only ever going to be one winner in our eyes.

Here are 5 reasons why we’d choose a ski break for our next holiday…

1. Thrill

Those butterflies as you look down across the vast white expanse in front of you, the icy wind in your hair, that rush of adrenaline - nothing beats the feeling of carving up freshly groomed slopes.

2. Picturesque scenery

Imagine Alpine idyllic chocolate-box villages, snow-dusted mountains and rugged peaks. Now picture a poolside scattered with sun loungers… need we say more?

3. Climate

You can ski or snowboard in pretty much any weather although the optimum time is January to March – perfect for a break from the festivities and turkey sandwiches. It’s also a great way to feel smug when everyone else has the dreaded winter blues!

4. Après-ski

Ski resorts are famous for their nightlife - after a long day skiing or snowboarding, you can head out to the bars for a much-loved après-ski session of live music, beers, dancing and our favourite; fondue!

5. Snow

Who needs sand when you can have snow? Children love it, adults love it and it makes everything look purely beautiful – who could honestly admit to resisting a snowball fight?

We understand not everyone loves the snow quite as much as we do, so that’s why we have up to 70% off on all sorts of destinations at MFR Escapes! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
