AS FRANCE eases up restrictions for British holidaymakers, even more ski seasons are back on.
A ski holiday is a great excuse to escape the gloomy start of the year, and holiday rental company Vrbo has put together a list of great holiday chalets for you to stay in on your next ski trip!
According to Vrbo, 19% of Brits say winter holidays are only complete if you spend at least one of them in the snow.
For 11% of Brits, it’s all about snow, skiing, snowboarding, sledging and being cosy by a fireplace – and these properties certainly won’t disappoint if you’re longing to dust off the ski boots for a European ski trip.
