Ski season in Europe

easyJet is back to its 2019 capacity on its ski routes with two million seats now available

easyJet, Europe's number one major airport operator and France's number two short and medium haul airline, has put on sale two million seats to its most popular ski routes across Europe this winter. As heavy snowfalls are expected throughout the coming weeks, the airline is launching its first full ski flying programme in over two years. easyJet's ski flying programme in Europe is also increasing by 30% this winter compared to 2022.

A major player during the winter season, easyJet is the number one carrier between the UK and France, as well as the largest operator serving the main Alps airports including Lyon, Grenoble, Geneva, Milan and Turin. In Lyon, for example, the seat offer is 110% compared to 2019. This combined with Grenoble, which is served by easyJet only in winter, ensures a strong contribution to the Rhône-Alpes economy.

The company serves resorts throughout the region: Nice and Marseille to the Southern Alps, Toulouse to the Pyrenees and Andorra, Basel-Mulhouse to the Vosges. These airports offer a shuttle service to the ski resorts. To meet the needs of passengers during the season, the company offers on its website and mobile application a sports equipment option from €42 for small sports equipment including skis and ski boots, as well as snowboards.

By facilitating tourists to visit French regions and French people to discover Europe and travel within France at great value fares, easyJet is in a unique position in the sector. The orange airline makes popular winter destinations accessible to all French people in the regions by enabling them to reach ski resorts quickly, mainly via cross-country routes, with an offer that complements the train. In France, the company does not operate a domestic route where there is a direct train alternative of less than 4 hours.

Great value fares are still to be had on several of their domestic cross-country routes for the February holidays, departing on a weekend day - prices as of 16 January:
