Following the success of the company’s ‘Slope Starters’ programme over the past two seasons, Crystal are expanded its offering for the third year running.
Aimed at apprehensive beginner skiers and boarders, it’s now offering packages to Niederau in Austria, in addition to Soldeu in Andorra and Flaine in France.
“Slope Starters holidays have been designed with the beginner skiing and snowboarding community in mind and will whisk travellers off to the mountains for a week of bumper skiing and socialising,” Crystal say in a press statement.
Holidays start at £995 per person with the package including return flights, 20kg luggage, half-board accommodation, transfers, ski lessons, equipment hire and a 6-day lift pass.
The Niederau Slope Starters beginner week will run 1-8 February 2025, with Soldeu taking place 19-26 January and Flaine 8-15 March 2025.
The programme has been designed to allow everything to be taken care of in one complete package and gives travellers the chance to make new, like-minded friends along the way.
Besides ski and snowboarding lessons, there’ll be plenty of activities on offer beyond the slopes to demonstrate what a ski holiday is all about. To create a sense of community and encourage attendees to make new friends, the week will start with welcome drinks at the hotel, partying at après-ski as well as access to the hotel’s spa and wellness facilities throughout the week. And to round everything off, there’ll be an awards evening on the last night to celebrate customers’ debut trips to the mountains.
“At Crystal Ski Holidays, we are always looking for different ways to make skiing and snowboarding more accessible for beginners. Holidays in the mountains offer memorable and happy moments for our customers, and we want as many people as possible to be able to experience them,” said Chris Logan, Managing Director, Crystal Ski Holidays, adding, “We’ve seen great demand of our Slope Starters offering over the past couple of years and we’re pleased to now be offering even more choice for our customers. With the aim to remove barriers to skiing and snowboarding for those who have never skied before, it lets people experience the fun you can have on – and off – the slopes.”
