Why is skiing at Easter worthwhile?
Skiing at Easter is simply something special! The days are longer, the sun warms your face and yet the pistes are still in perfect condition. It's the ideal time to whizz down the slopes with family or friends or to sit in a deckchair by the piste and enjoy the spring sunshine. And the best thing? Ski amadé is offering an Easter Family Special from March 15th: adults who buy a 6-day ski pass can take their children up to the age of 15 for free! There are also lots of fun events and surprises - perfect for an unforgettable Easter in the snow!
