Brits looking for ski holidays next year will know that there are some key factors for a great getaway - soft, abundant snow, beautiful views, and a bustling après-ski scene, whether that's for a mulled wine or a hearty cheese fondue.

Snow better place for ski fans than Tignes

Luckily, there's one gorgeous resort that not only ticks all of those boxes but it's also a budget-friendly option for Brits too - not to mention its weather conditions are so good in winter that insiders at Jet2 have described it as “one of the most snow-sure resorts in Europe”.

Tignes in France is hardly a hidden gem, attracting thousands of ski fans from around the globe every winter, but with climate change meaning that the windows for snow-capped mountains and powdery slopes are getting shorter, it's worth having this high-altitude, alpine resort on your radar.

Sitting at more than 2,000m high, the resort in the French Alps is made up of five villages, all of which sit on the doorstep of some gorgeous mountain runs.
