FAQs about Seefeld ski holidays Your questions answered by our Seefeld ski resort expert
How is the Skiing in Seefeld?
Luckily, on the whole, the ski season in France is longer than many of its Alpine neighbours, as it runs from December until the end of April.
In January, you’ll stand the best chance of bucketloads of powdery goodness. And while March and April typically bring on sunnier days, big dumps of late-season snow are not unheard of.
If a snow-sure resort is a must-have for your holiday, without the need for planning around the best time to ski, then check out high-altitude ski resorts, like Val Thorens or Tignes with their consistent snow conditions all season long.
And finally, if you want to know the best time to ski in France to skip the crowds, then avoid the school holidays if you can, or choose from one of many lesser-known, quieter resorts.
Is Seefeld ski resort snow-sure?
Seefeld's ski season officially runs from the beginning of December through to the end of March. Its high-plateau location and extensive snowmaking mean its snow records are relatively favourable, with a microclimate that often keeps more snow on the ground than in other lower-alpine villages.
If you’re looking for the best snow and a quieter time, consider mid-January, late-February, and early-March onwards.
