The winter is coming to end but there is still snow if you have missed 
the season. Europe is the best to go to if you are looking for best 
late deals. Here are some of the locations where you can still find a 
bargain and plenty of snow. Look here for the best snow and the best 
deal. 
Val Thorens, France
This is Europe’s highest resort and therefore a safe bet for good 
snow. But you need to hurry because the season closes on May 08. There 
is a nice restaurant Montana Residence for good food where the 
Chef offers fusion food: home-pressed foie gras with Szechwan pepper. 
Yum. Stay at the Navotel Val Thorens from April 27. For two adults and 
two childres sharing a room will cost you £386 for four nights. That 
is good value for money.
Sainte Foy, France 
This resort was accessible only to trekkers as most motorists saw only 
the road signs from Bourg Saint Maurice to Espace Killy. A new lift 
this winter has now opened up an area of the mountain. The new terrain 
has made Sainte Foy a good all-round resort, albeit to grumbles from 
experts in the know who don’t want to share these glorious slopes. You 
can hire Chalet le Sapins for seven nights from April 13 to 
accommodate a family of four for only £2,810. The cost includes 
transfers and lift passes. 
Meribel France
Skiers have heard of Meribel and most have been there. It is the world 
chalet capital and yet it has something interesting. The new La Ferme 
sleeps 16 and is in the Mussillon area of the resort. It is close to 
centre and only 100m from Dick’s T-Bar. Every room has its own 
facilities and flatscreen television. There is also a fitness area on 
the lower ground floor with an exercise bike, rowing machine and 
treadmill. For seven days chalet board starting April 14, you pay 
£535. 
Pragelato, Italy 
This resort was built for the Turin Winter Olympics last year but was 
not open fully until this winter. This is the best for families as it 
has an excellent children’s club, gentle nursery slopes and several 
child friendly restaurants. It is a small resort at one end of the 
extensive Milky Way ski area, most famous for the lively resort of 
Sauze d’Oulx. Scott Dunn is offering seven nights for the price of six 
for the remainder of the season. Seven nights half board cost from 
£1,250pp based on two sharing. 
Other Destinations
Krasnaya Plyana, Russia 
This fledging resort in the Caucasus Mountains has a well-established 
heli-operation in February and March, plus limited but interesting 
terrain reached by veteran chairlifts from December to April. 
Riksgransen, Sweden 
Late-season snow sports far to the north of the Arctic Circel climax 
with a Midsummer’s Day party. In April/May, the lifts open until after 
midnight and the helicopters fly until 3am. There is good-value heli-
skiing and boarding.
