Etihad Holidays, a division of Etihad Airways, has launched its ski and snowboard brochure for this winter offering Guests a wealth of breaks to some of the most popular resorts in Europe and Lebanon.
The programme is packed with holidays for all snow and outdoors enthusiasts, eager to enjoy the winter climate and culture, and only a few hours flight from the UAE.
This year, each holiday within the programme also offers a vast array of activities for those not wishing to ski or snowboard, ensuring all Guests can enjoy the mountain air and scenery to its fullest.
“Etihad Holidays is once again providing our UAE-based Guests the very best in winter holidays on the slopes, whether they are beginners, advanced skiers or snowboarders,” said Nick Wood, General Manager, Etihad Holidays.
“Winter holidays have expanded considerably in the last decade with most resorts now offering a wide variety of activities, not just skiing and snow boarding. Our Guests can now enjoy spas, saunas, indoor swimming pools, bowling, in addition to sleigh rides and mountain walks.”
Etihad Holidays has also maintained its pledge to provide Guests with the best possible value for their ski and snowboarding holidays, with prices starting from AED2075 including flights, accommodation with breakfast and transfers.
As a bonus, Etihad Holidays also offers free carriage of ski equipment for pre-booked ski equipment.
With Etihad’s frequent non-stop flights from Abu Dhabi to Munich and Geneva, Etihad Holidays continues to entice Guests to a great selection of the top ski resorts in Austria, France and Switzerland.
In addition to offering superb skiing, Austria has a wealth of Alpine sports available to Etihad Guests including curling, ice skating, tobogganing, as well as paragliding and hot air ballooning. Austria is also renowned for its vibrant nightlife.
Etihad Holidays’ lead in price for a 7 day, half-board stay at the Hotel Postwirt, in Söll, which is in the Tyrol region of Austria, is AED3605 including flights and transfers, based on two adults sharing.
“Winter breaks are popular throughout the multi-national communities living in the UAE. Many families are once again choosing Etihad Holidays having enjoyed a successful winter break with us last year,” added Wood.
Guests looking to travel a short distance to reach the snow can fly with Etihad Airways from Abu Dhabi to Beirut, and spend 3 nights at the Auberge de Faqra Hotel for AED 2075, based on two adults sharing.
At nearly 2500 metres high on Mount Lebanon, this family friendly resort offers breathtaking views and a stress free getaway in what is often acclaimed as the premier ski destination in the Middle East.
