From Soll to Saalbach: Our Latest Mountain Deals

Deals May 28, 2016 | Welove2ski
Saalbach in summer.
There’s nothing healthier than spending a week relaxing in the fresh mountain air. Read a book, sit in the sun, wallow in a spa, take a lift or walk for a picnic or lunch in a mountain restaurant…or maybe try something a bit more strenuous? How about some cycling or MTB, hiking, golf and myriad other activities – or just a bit of relaxation among gorgeous surroundings?

Also see our advice on keeping fit between ski seasons and the best resorts for summer skiing for tips on where to go over the next few months.

Due to reader demand, we now have our ski holiday prices in euros (with the exchange rate correct at the time of writing), although you should contact tour operators direct for a quote that doesn’t include travel from the UK.
