Going skiing in March: good idea or bad idea?

1. Often ideal weather conditions

In March, temperatures in the mountains start to rise. You can ski under a milder sun and enjoy a sky that is often clear. Gone are the icy days of deep winter! These conditions make days on the slopes much more enjoyable, especially for families or beginner skiers.

In addition, the days are longer in March, which means you'll have more time to enjoy the slopes or relax on the terrace after a good day of skiing.

2. Quality snow in high-altitude resorts

Contrary to popular belief, the snow in March remains of good quality, especially in resorts located at high altitudes. Well-maintained ski areas guarantee impeccable slopes, and snowfall is not uncommon at this time.

For off-piste skiing enthusiasts, March is also a favorable time thanks to better stability of the snowpack, but always with caution and accompanied by a guide.

3. More advantageous rates

One of the biggest advantages of going skiing in March lies in the prices. Outside of school holidays, many resorts offer reduced rates on ski passes, equipment rentals, and accommodation.

If you want to enjoy a ski vacation without breaking the bank, March is the ideal time to benefit from high-end services at much more affordable prices.

4. Less crowd, more serenity

The slopes are generally less crowded in March, which means less waiting at the ski lifts and more space to ski in peace. The resorts regain a calmer atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a more relaxing experience.

5. A versatile experience

Skiing in March offers much more than days on the slopes. With milder temperatures, it is also an opportunity to discover activities other than skiing:

• Snowshoeing in snowy landscapes.
• Lunches on the terrace facing the peaks.
• Moments of relaxation in the spas or Nordic baths of the resorts.

These options allow you to vary the pleasures and satisfy all members of the family.

Some points to watch out for

Although going skiing in March has many advantages, a few things deserve your attention:

• Choose a high-altitude resort. Resorts at low altitudes may suffer from less optimal snow cover at the end of the season.
• Adjust your schedule. The spring sun can soften the snow in the afternoon, so favor skiing in the morning for optimal conditions.
• Check the weather forecast. March can still bring weather surprises, so check the conditions before you leave.

‍

Without a doubt, going skiing in March is an excellent idea, provided you choose your destination carefully and take advantage of the many benefits of this time of year. With longer days, attractive prices, less crowded slopes, and still very good snow cover in high-altitude resorts, March stands out as a wise choice for a successful ski vacation.
