Next winter marks a big milestone for Ski Safari - it will be their 30th season offering incredible tailor-made ski holidays to some of the most exciting destinations across the globe.
To start the celebrations early, they're going back to their roots with £300 per booking off all 30 of their iconic multi-destination ski safaris for bookings made by 31 August (terms & conditions apply).
Ski Safari Founder & Chairman Richard Rice says, “We pioneered the 'ski safari' concept right from the very beginning in 1996. After my wife Sam and I skied multiple resorts across Canada on the same trip, we knew how much UK skiers and snowboarders would love this approach to ski holidays, and Ski Safari was born. We've since expanded to the US, Japan, Norway and Sweden, offering a range of unique, tailor-made trips that provide more than your typical ski holiday.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate this anniversary than encouraging more skiers to ski and see more of the country they visit on one trip, combining some of the world's best resorts with unique experiences like fjord cruises, northern lights trips, heli-skiing and backcountry ski touring.”
What exactly is a 'ski safari'
- Ski and stay in multiple resorts, travelling by car, train or transfer
- Explore bustling cities and venture into wild landscapes (it's not all about skiing!)
- Discover 'off the beaten track' destinations that you wouldn't normally visit on a single-centre holiday
- Try once-in-a-lifetime activities like fjord cruises, northern lights trips, heli-skiing, and backcountry ski touring
- Save on skiing with multi-resort lift and season passes such as the Epic and Ikon Pass
- Enjoy the freedom of independent travel, with all the planning and support taken care of by Ski Safari.
Every ski safari itinerary on our website has been carefully crafted and tested by members of the team who have lived and travelled extensively in that country. There are options for all ages and abilities, from family-friendly rail adventures and rejuvenating ski & spa breaks, to hardcore powder hunting and national park road trips.
Ski Safari books the flights, car hire or transfers, accommodation and ski extras in advance and creates a personal travel pack with all the information customers need, making sure they're all set for the trip of a lifetime.
For inspiration, Ski Safari is revealing the best-selling multi-destination trips by country for 2025/26:
Taste of Japan Ski Safari
Traditional temples, dazzling neon lights and incredible deep powder skiing
"This ski safari provides the perfect taste of Japan. By visiting Niseko, Kyoto & Tokyo, customers will experience deep powder, rich culture, delicious cuisine and super-fast transit on the bullet train." - Andy Knights, Japan Product Manager
Japan is renowned for its phenomenal deep, fluffy powder and its fascinating culture clash of tradition and modernity. 'Taste of Japan' provides the perfect introduction to both.
Customers will ski some of the world's best snow in Niseko, absorb ancient Japan in Kyoto, and experience the awesome nightlife of Tokyo. They'll journey across the country on a bullet train with plenty of opportunities to try some of Japan's best food along the way.
Heading all the way to Japan for a ski holiday can feel daunting, but this trip allows customers to just enjoy themselves without worrying about all the logistics. And it's proving so popular that it's driving a 54% increase for Japan bookings for 2025/26.
How much? 14 nights from £3,775pp, based on 2 adults departing 07 March 2026. Price includes 7 nights B&B at 4* The Green Leaf in Niseko, 3 nights in a 4* Kyoto hotel, 3 nights in a 4* Tokyo hotel, return international and domestic flights, and shared return transfers to Niseko.

NEW: Whistler & Reykjavik Ski & City Safari
Combine Whistler's huge terrain with 'fire & ice' in Reykjavik, Iceland
"Skiing in Whistler has long been a favourite of mine, and taking advantage of a free stopover in Reykjavík is an extra bonus. You can enjoy epic skiing in Canada before heading off to the spectacular landscapes of Iceland. This is an extraordinary trip of a lifetime." - Andy Knights, Sales Manager
From Whistler's huge terrain, deep powder and cool village, to Iceland's awe-inspiring geysers, waterfalls and volcanoes, both destinations are breathtaking on their own, but together offer the perfect fusion of two incredible holidays in one.
It's easy to travel between these two prime locations with Icelandair's free stopover in Reykjavik between the UK and Canada at no extra cost. Better yet, customers can fly from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester or Edinburgh.
How much? 10 nights from £1,829pp, based on 2 adults departing 10 January 2026.

Ski & Northern Lights Ski Safari
World-class skiing and magical northern lights displays in Norway
"This is an unforgettable trip allowing you to explore a range of world-class experiences both on and off the slopes. The highlight for many being the chance to get a glimpse of the mystical Aurora Borealis." - Andy Hemingway, Norway Product Manager
Combine a visit to Tromsø, one of Norway's prime northern light-spotting territories, with superb skiing in the mountains beyond Oslo on a Ski & Northern Lights Explorer Ski Safari.
There are a number of world-class ski resorts within an easy transfer of Oslo, but top for 2025/26 is Norefjell, boasting Norway's biggest vertical drop, incredible views over frozen lakes, and Norway's Best Resort Spa.
After five days of skiing and spa-ing, customers transfer back to Oslo to catch a domestic flight up to Arctic Tromsø. Located between fjords and mountains, this northerly city offers one of the highest probabilities of experiencing the northern lights in the world.
How much? 7 nights from £1,755pp, based on 2 adults departing 01 February 2026. Price includes 5 nights B&B at the 4* Norefjell Ski & Spa, 2 nights B&B at the 4* Radisson Blu Tromsø, return flights London to Oslo and Oslo to Tromsø, and return shared transfers Oslo to Norefjell.

Rockies Loop Ski Safari
Pick 'n' mix your way through the Canadian Rockies
"I've done this trip many times yet it always amazes me how different each resort is. There are so many different combinations - you could create a different trip each year." - Rupert Hatfield, Canada Product Manager
Perfect for a pure ski adventure, Canada's Rocky Mountains are home to a wide range of resorts within driving distance of Calgary, so customers can choose the ski areas that appeal most, self-driving between them through Alberta and British Columbia.
Banff is high on many people's lists, with its vibrant mountain town and national park setting. Jasper's friendly locals make it another favourite, while Revelstoke, Kicking Horse and Fernie are a must for fans of steep terrain and deep powder.
Customers can even nip over the US border to Whitefish or head to Panorama to try heli-skiing for the first time. For mixed-ability groups, Ski Safari suggests combining challenging resorts with easier piste skiing in Kimberley.
How much? 10 nights from £2,325pp, based on 2 adults departing 07 March 2026. Price includes 4 nights at the 3*+ Elk + Avenue Hotel in Banff, 4 nights at the 3* Prestige Inn in Golden (for Kicking Horse), 3 nights at 3* The Approach, Panorama, 3 nights at the 3*+ Best Western Plus Fernie Mountain Lodge, return flights London to Calgary, and car hire.

Ski & Fjord Explorer Ski Safari
All-abilities skiing, fjord cruises and magical railway journeys
"A spectacular journey allowing you to enjoy the breathtaking fjords at their quietest time of the year and the uncrowded, snow-sure slopes of Norway." - Andy Hemingway, Norway Product Manager
Combining skiing in one of Norway's quietest resorts before journeying through the country's dramatic fjords via electric boat and train, the Ski & Fjord Explorer Ski Safari provides a real Norwegian winter adventure.
Best known within the freeskiing and ski touring community, Myrkdalen is still undiscovered by the mass ski market - so customers will never queue for a lift even during peak weeks. The pistes are mostly wide and gentle, perfect for beginners, but there's also a huge expanse of off-piste and backcountry terrain, with options for intermediates looking to try powder for the first time through to experienced ski tourers.
After a few days skiing in Myrkdalen, the fjord exploring begins. Customers take a two hour electric ferry cruise through the stunning Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord to the tiny village of Flåm. Activities here include exciting RIB rides, snowshoeing to scenic viewpoints and Viking-inspired beer-tasting. The journey home is just as exciting, taking the world-famous Flåm Railway and the Bergen Railway back to Bergen.
How much? 7 nights from £1,190pp, based on 2 adults departing 04 January 2026. Price includes 5 nights Half Board at the 4* Myrkdalen Hotel, 2 nights Half Board at the 4* Fretheim Hotel in Flåm, return flights London to Bergen, shared transfer to Myrkdalen, private transfer to Gudvangen, electric fjord cruise to Flåm, Flåm Railway to Myrdalen, Bergen Railway to Bergen. Book by 31 August to save an extra £300 per booking. (01273 224060, www.skisafari.com/experiences/ski-safaris/ski-fjord-explorer-ski-safari)
