Big Expansion in Carinthia, Austria; Family-Friendly

Specialist ski agent Iglu Ski has announced its new range for winter 2026/2027, focusing on delivering new Austrian ski options, early Easter holidays and new regional flights.

Why should I consider Carinthia?

Responding to their May 2026 survey, in which customers said they looked for charming villages, good value, family-friendly resorts with outstanding food, Iglu Ski has added 30,000 new holidays in Carinthia, Austria. Resorts featured are picture-perfect Heiligenblut, sun-soaked Nassfeld and Bad Kleinkirchheim, famous for its thermal spa alongside skiing. To celebrate the launch, Iglu Ski’s Head of Marketing Cormac Stanford has launched a ‘Win a £750 voucher towards a Carinthia ski holiday’ open until September 30th, 2026, and one lucky winner will have that sum deducted from a new booking to the region. 

What will skiing be like at Easter in 2027?

With Easter Saturday on March 27th, 2027, skiers can look forward to an early Spring skiing break. Falling early, Easter makes for the perfect time to ski, with typically good snow, plenty of availability, and a choice of dates as families pick from the two-week break. Try the Résidence & Spa Mendi Alde in La Clusaz, from £849 per person based on four sharing. 

What new departures are there for 2026/2027?

Italian skiing is more popular than ever, following a boost from the Winter Olympics in February 2026. Challenging Austria for second place in the popularity stakes after France, Italy’s value-for-money, charm and friendly vibe means more of Iglu’s customers than ever are asking for the country. Many head to Sauze d’Oulx, which continues to draw groups, whilst all-inclusive options at Pragelato are in demand. 

New flight choices include departures to Norway, from Birmingham to Oslo, unlocking easy access to Gausta, Geilo, Norefjell and Beitostolen. 

How is Iglu Ski helping to make skiing accessible to everyone?

Following a summer of raising almost £800 taking part in the Superheroes Triathlon, the Iglu team continue to raise money for Disability Snowsport UK, and will once again organise a ‘Bring and Buy’ ski gear sale before the ski season. Building on the success of last year’s ‘Gear for Good’, Iglu hopes to reduce the cost of family skiing, in particular, by facilitating easy clothing swaps, with donations welcome to their preferred charity, DSUK. 

Looking forward to the next ski season, Iglu Ski Managing Director, Simon McIntyre said, ‘During the summer our focus has been on helping big groups and multi-generational families to get their ski trips secured, and as the season approaches, we are excited about all sorts of new holidays for our customers. I’m particularly pleased about offering so many new holidays in Carinthia, the sunny southern Alps, where everyone can have an amazing ski holiday.’
