THE ski season for this winter may be well underway, but early birds wishing to organise their next escape need not wait to plan ahead.

Specialist ski holiday company Inghams has launched its Ski Preview 15/16 brochure with prices held at winter 14/15 levels with a choice of 91 resorts across nine destinations.

Updates to Inghams’ offers for winter 2015/16 include overnight train travel to the Alps, giving guests eight days skiing for the price of six.

And in Austria the luxury Hotel Edelweiss and Gurgl in Obergurgl is now exclusively available in the UK to Inghams customers.

Executive director, Hugh Walton said: “We are delighted to have this programme ready for early bookers so soon. Many of our guests like to get their ski trip booked well in advance, especially groups, and we have ensured that these holidays are on sale to make this easy and convenient.

“To have top hotels like the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl in Obergurgl on an exclusive basis in the UK market is a real feather in our cap, and demonstrates yet again that Inghams is most hotels’ operator of choice.”

Daily Echo:

Inghams new programme includes 91 resorts in nine countries, and features a new Chalet Hotel in Tignes, in the Espace Killy ski area.

The Chalet Hotel Curling has rooms for up to 62 guests, and is a short walk to lifts to Val Claret, Tignes.
