3 Day Ski, Snowboard & Snow Tours & Trips

What our customers ask about 3 Day Ski, Snowboard & Snow Tours & Trips

• When is the best time to book a 3-day ski tour?

  The best time depends on where you want to ski. In Europe, head to places like Hopfgarten, Austria from December through February when snow is guaranteed. If you're interested in Harbin, China, plan your trip in January or February during the Ice and Snow Festival - just be ready for temperatures as low as -13°F (-25°C). For skiing in Australia, Lake Mountain's peak season runs from June through early September, with the best snow in July and August. If you want to avoid crowds in European resorts, try mid-January. That's when you'll find shorter lift lines and more space on the slopes.

• What are the best destinations for a 3-day ski trip in Europe?

  You can't go wrong with the Austrian Alps or Andorra for a quick ski getaway. The SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser Brixental in Austria gives you 168 miles of runs to explore, plus 70 lifts and 80 cozy mountain huts where you can warm up. If you're heading to Vallnord in Andorra, you'll find 37 miles of slopes spread across 42 different tracks. Many people love staying at Haus Schöneck in Hopfgarten - it's right by the slopes and perfect for after-ski relaxation. As one TourRadar traveler puts it: "The skiing was great, laughed a lot and made great friends. Dinner and accommodation are the best."

• What skill level is required for a 3-day ski tour?

  Don't worry about your skill level - these tours work for everyone, whether you've never seen snow or you're a seasoned pro. Take Vallnord in Andorra: you'll find 7 green runs for beginners, 15 blue runs for intermediates, 16 red runs for the more advanced, and 4 black runs for experts. If you're just starting out, try somewhere like Lake Mountain near Melbourne, where the slopes are gentler and the instructors are really patient. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "considering I didn't know how to ski, I still had the best time!" You can get lessons everywhere, and places like Hopfgarten's ski school offer both group and private instruction.

• What type of accommodation can I expect on a 3-day ski tour?

  You'll find a good mix of places to stay, from comfortable 3-star hotels to fancy 5-star spots, all close to where you'll be skiing. In Harbin, China, you'll stay in upscale 5-star hotels right in the city center. Over in Hopfgarten, Austria, lots of people enjoy Haus Schöneck - it's got that classic Alpine feel but with modern comforts like a sauna. If you're skiing in Andorra, you'll probably stay in a 4-star hotel like the Hotel Nordic, where rooms fit 3-4 people and have private bathrooms. One TourRadar traveler sums it up nicely: "We had hotel accommodation in a gorgeous little town not far from the mountain."
