Mid-January & Mid-March Offer Best Value Ski Weeks Of 26-27 Season

Research from the UK’s second largest ski holiday provider, Heidi, based in current ski holiday prices, has revealed that there’s no single cheapest week this season.

As to which week between Christmas and Easter typically offers the best price, Heidi found the answer is nuanced, moving depending on party size and trip length.

“January is still one of the best bets for a cheaper ski week, but this year it’s definitely worth looking at mid-March as well. With Easter landing early, the pre-Easter dip arrives a week sooner. The stretch from late February after half-term through to Easter is shaping up as both the best-value and the quietest part of the season so far, though there’s plenty of time for that to change,” said Heidi’s Co-Founder, Marcus Blunt.

The March price dip repeats a trend of recent seasons which has seen mid-March become more affordable that the traditional early-January low-priced weeks.

The two windows Heidi found keep coming up between Christmas and Easter were:

Mid-January (weeks starting 9 and 16 Jan). The post-New Year lull is still alive and well, and it’s where groups of friends sharing are finding the best value.
Mid-March (week starting 13 March). Easter Sunday falls on 28 March, a week earlier than last year. That pulls the traditional pre-Easter bargain week forward into mid-March, which is where couples are seeing the best prices.

This is based on current live package pricing (accommodation, flights and transfers) shown on heidi.com for January to March 2027 departures. The company cautions that prices will move as departure dates get closer, but this is how it’s looking right now.

“In terms of budget-friendly resorts, France and Andorra are dominating this season, including Saint-Gervais, Morillon and La Massana, with Bansko in Bulgaria also offering great value,” a Heidi spokesperson added.

Prices are typically lower still before Christmas week and after the Easter holidays, but open resorts often have less terrain skiable then.
