Easter 2022 falls with Easter Sunday on the 17th April, which gives you a choice of two excellent holiday weeks commencing Saturday 9th April or the 16th April, or why not come for a long weekend over the Easter break to really maximise the bank holidays?

With so many skiers missing out on their end of season tracks this year we’re predicting Easter 2022 will be a very popular time to travel thanks to a combination of clients rolling their arrangements forward a year alongside new bookings. We’re ready to help recommend the best options for your family, whether it be a private apartment or the luxury of a hotel stay. Here are just some of our favourites...
