The skiing at Easter
- By Easter, temperatures in the Alps and Pyrenees are generally milder, with longer daylight hours. This makes for more comfortable skiing, but also means snow quality can vary.
- Snow at lower altitudes can be slushy in the afternoons, but high-altitude resorts maintain good conditions.
- The stronger sun creates a more relaxed ski atmosphere, think skiing in sunglasses and lighter gear!
