Fewer people on the slopes, longer days and often cheaper ski passes: spring skiing is attracting more and more holidaymakers. Some resorts in the Alps still offer excellent conditions until the end of April or even the beginning of May. Here are five ideal destinations to make the most of the last turns of the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tignes - Val d'Is\u00e8re, a safe bet until May<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When most resorts close their lifts, Tignes <\/a>and Val d'Is\u00e8re<\/a> continue to operate at full capacity. The linked ski area, perched at an altitude of 2,100 metres, generally maintains a solid snow cover until the beginning of May.<\/p>\n\n\n

In spring, the resort's atmosphere changes. The terraces fill up, the days get longer and there are more and more events. In Tignes, Spring Break brings the end of the season to life with concerts, entertainment and unusual activities. In Val d'Is\u00e8re, the festivities are just as lively, with festivals, competitions and evenings at altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, you can still ski in the morning on firm snow, then enjoy the afternoon in the sunshine facing the Vanoise peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Val Thorens, the highest skiing in Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perched at an altitude of 2,300 metres, Val Thorens<\/a> is one of the most reliable resorts for late-season skiing. In the 3 Vall\u00e9es, winter naturally lasts until May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spring, skiers can take advantage of a huge ski area, often with much quieter slopes than in February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resort also cultivates a festive atmosphere to close the season, notably during La Grande Derni\u00e8re, a weekend that has become a cult event with waterslides, barbecues and concerts. It's the ideal playground for a string of long runs in the spring sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Plagne, great skiing in the sunshine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With slopes peaking at over 3,000 metres, La Plagne <\/a>remains a safe bet for late-season skiing. The Paradiski area, linked to Les Arcs, still offers excellent conditions in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
