Snowfall has finally revived the 2023 alpine ski season. Here are the best destination deals for anyone looking to finally hit the slopes…
Green your snow holiday by taking public transport to Serre Chevalier in south-east France, which aims to become the first fully self-sufficient ski resort after investing millions in renewable energy.

Other green initiatives include 1,400 solar panels and an artificial snow machine. There are even free ski pass trials that can be downloaded to your phone.
