Slope

IF you have always wanted to go on a ski holiday but thought they were too expensive, you are in luck.

This Black Friday, a limited new ski holiday deal is letting you spend a week on the slopes for under £100 each.

Launched by Sunweb, the seven-night stay includes accommodation and ski passes.

You have to be ready to book quickly, as the cheap holidays are only on sale until December 2.

One of the biggest bargains is staying in Val Cenis at the Résidence Les Toits Du Dévoluy, costing just £86 each.

The two room apartment sleeps up to four people, with the deal for seven nights, departing on April 11.

One of the closest airports is Turin, and both Ryanair and easyJet fly there.

For another £86pp stay, you can stay in the resort of Superdévoluy in Le Massif du Dévoluy.

This is one of the biggest slopes in southern France so both beginners and pro skiers will be able to find something that suits.

This deal is much sooner, with the two-room apartment deal being for seven nights on December 13.

But it also means you can get in a great holiday just before Christmas.

The best airport to fly to is Grenoble, with both Ryanair and Wizz Air having cheap flights.

You will have to pay for your flights and ski gear yourself, although you can rent lots of the gear when you get there.

Another cheap deal is seven nights at Résidence Vacancéole La Turra also at Superdévoluy for around £136pp.

One skiing pro revealed how booking an April holiday can help you find the biggest bargain.

Ski Beat’s Laura Hazell told Sun Online Travel: “Around 1.5 million Brits go skiing every year.

“Often overlooked, but April is the go-to time for many ski experts and enthusiasts, with a more relaxed feel in the resorts, crisp virgin snow for an early morning start, and long lazy afternoons in uncrowded mountain restaurants.”

We spoke to the experts about the mistakes Brits always make on ski trips, and how to avoid them.

She told Sun Online Travel: “Decide if the holiday is predominantly for parents, with the kids looked after in Kindergarten or Ski School or if the idea is to spend family days skiing and playing together.

“Make sure that childcare, nursery slopes and non-ski activities are close to where you stay.”

A HUGE new attraction is set for the UK with water, snow and dry land fun all in one place.

The £300million attraction, set to be in the Welsh Valleys, would feature a water park and the UK’s longest ski slope.

Known as the Rhydycar West Development, the new attraction will be located just off the A470 dual carriageway and 10 minutes from the Brecon Beacons National Park.

According to the Rhydycar West, it will be a world class leisure resort, open all year round.

Last week, the Welsh Government agreed not to call in the planning application following Merthyr Tydfil Council’s decision to back the planning application in March and as a result, have given the application the green light.

Now, the Local Planning Authority will move forward to grant planning permission.

At the site there will be a number of different features including a waterpark with a tropical theme, set to be one of the largest waterparks in the UK.

Inside the waterpark, guests will find artificial beaches, swimming and bathing areas for all ages and abilities, waterslides and a number of other water-based attractions.

Then the 39,200sqm indoor snow centre would take over Chill Factore in Manchester – which is 180 metres long – to house the longest ski slope in the UK, measuring over 400 metres long.

The centre will also match the standards of the International Ski Federation (FIS).

And it will use special equipment to ensure the slope can remain open all year.

The site will be the home and national training headquarters for the Welsh and UK national, Olympic and Paralympic teams as well.

In addition to the snow centre, there will be an indoor and outdoor adventure centre.

Known as the Adventure Park, there will be a ‘mountain coaster’, clip ‘n’ climb, zip wires and other adrenaline-based activities and attractions.

Of course, the destination is also planning on creating accommodation.

When it comes to the 418-bedroom hotel, there would be three different wings.

The Resort Wing will feature conferencing and co-working spaces, whereas the Luxury Spa Wing will have leisure facilities such as a fully equipped spa.

Finally, in the Sport and Value Wing, visitors will find a more casual and relaxed feel.

But if you’re not a fan of hotels, there will be around 30 Woodland Lodges as well.

These will be in the heart of nature, located in the woodland, with value and premium options available.

Plans for the attraction were first announced back in 2017 and once open, it hopes to create 842 jobs and contribute £38.1million to the local economy.

Details including when the attraction will open are still unclear.

Many people have taken to social media to show their excitement for the project.

One person said: “Awesome news. Most importantly, are you planning an ice climbing wall?”

Another said: “That is awesome news and another milestone reached for what will be an amazing asset to GB Skiers.”

A third person added: “This will be transformational for the town, our economy and as importantly help and change how Merthyr Tydfil is often unfairly talked about!”
