Iglu Ski is the largest ski travel agency in the UK, retailing more ski holidays than any other travel agent. It offers over 280 resorts and proposes the widest customer choice of ATOL-bonded package holidays, catered chalets, half-board and B&B hotels, together with apartments and holidays rentals. This winter Iglu announces 70,000 new beds in Trentino, Italy, champions non-flight options and aims to raise 25% more than last season for their chosen charity, Disability Snowsport UK.
Managing Director Simon McIntyre says, 'We're ready to help every skier to find their perfect holiday, within budget and as seamlessly as possible. We've got big plans underway to ensure there is no better way to research and book a holiday online, and our expert teams in sales and customer care are on hand seven days a week to give free advice. This will be our 26th season of selling winter sports holidays, and we're raring to go.'
New Italy Focus
Bringing almost 70,000 new beds in northern Italy, close to the Austrian border, Iglu now features an exciting new range of hotels in Trentino, a fabulously scenic area of the Dolomites, with 16 resorts on offer, including bigger names such as Madonna di Campiglio, Livigno and Val Di Fassa, and lesser-known resorts such as Andalo and Drei Zinnen.

More non-flight options
Iglu Ski MD Simon McIntyre drove to the Alps once again this year in an electric vehicle, and is outspoken about his passion for travelling in this low-carbon way. Iglu will also package train-inclusive packages, opening up selected resorts in France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy for non-flight holidays. https://www.igluski.com/ski-holidays/ski-train-holidays
25% uplift in fundraising for disabled skiers
Iglu Ski aims to increase fundraising by 25% for Disability Snowsport UK, to open skiing to even more UK adults and children. August saw a team from Iglu Ski assist at the Superheroes Triathlon, sponsored by Marvel, and featured by Channel 4 with Clare Balding, raising more than £2,500 in the process. https://www.igluski.com/guides/ski-tips/dsuk

New short breaks
Introducing a new range of short break ski holidays, Iglu will cater for skiers adding a second trip this winter, or help those looking for a taster break, or those short on time. Up to a dozen new short break package destinations will be added, including Innsbruck and Chamonix, ideal for a quick ski getaway. This adds to short breaks already available in Switzerland and Finland. For example, Iglu Ski offers 3 nights from £662 per person based on two sharing at the 3* Hotel Park, Saas Fee, Switzerland, half board, departing from London Gatwick on January 19th, 2025 and including transfers. Regional flights available.

More Nordic holidays
Norway is growing in popularity for skiers, especially with a new charter flight available this winter from Manchester to Oslo. Norway ticks all the boxes for snow-surety, family fun and wide, uncrowded slopes, and the price tag may be cheaper than you'd expect. Iglu Nordics
