New self catered ski properties for rent with White-Peak Holidays

We are currently re-developing our website and hope to re-launch at the end of August with our new portfolio of self catered ski accommodation in France and throughout Europe.

We have partnered up with one of Europe’s biggest suppliers of high quality self catered property, and we will be offering this to all the White-Peak guests.

As well as ski accommodation, we will also have a large range of self catered accommodation for summer holidays in France and beyond.

You will be able to check the live price availability and book online.

Watch this space….we think you’ll like it.

Great end of season conditions in the Portes du Soleil

After a mild and sunny March, I was just about ready to hang up my skis and get my bike out for the summer. However, winter has returned with a vengeance – heavy snow  on the mountain (even a light covering in the village of Chatel) and cold temperatures and more snow forecast for the rest of the weekend.

With the lifts staying open until the 22nd April, and the pistes (and off piste) empty, the next 8 days promise to offer fantastic skiing and boarding in the area. The Chatel tourist board are still reporting over 1 m 50 at top station and there is still 2 m at the top of the Portes du Soleil.

For those of us who live here – this is a little reward for all the hard work during the winter season. And once the lifts close, if it remains snowy I’ll just have to get my touring skis back out!

Stunning spring conditions in the Portes du Soleil

As the Easter holidays approach, it really doesn’t get any better than this for spring skiing. It is warm, but not too warm, the pistes are in great condition (still well over 2m at the top of the Portes du Soleil, and everyone is happy skiing on great spring snow under clear blue skies. To cap it all off, we may get another dump of snow at the end of the week. Happy days…
