Self Drive Ski Holidays
Make the most of the comfort and space that a self-drive ski holiday offers. Travel at your own pace and pack as much as you like.
Self Drive Skiing Holidays
Have you ever considered packing up the car and driving to the Alps? Self drive ski holidays are perfect for this season, enabling you to travel in your own personal space and not have to worry about luggage allowances or busy airport queues. A firm-favourite amongst families and groups, you could enjoy great value compared to the cost per person of booking a flight. What’s more, once you arrive you can take advantage of the freedom granted by having your car with you – why not drive over into a neighbouring resort for a day’s skiing or an evening meal?
Our self drive ski holidays are usually paired with self-catered accommodation, making for one easy cost that can be split up between your party.
Taking LeShuttle
Taking LeShuttle for your crossing into France means that you can enjoy motorway to motorway access and a choice of up to four departures per hour. As the fastest way to cross the channel by car, LeShuttle takes just 35 minutes, and passengers can remain within the comfort and privacy of their vehicle.

Self Drive Ski Holiday FAQs
You should keep a copy of your vehicle registration documents, insurance, and driving licence in your car at all times, as you’ll need to present these at the tolls or borders.
Before driving to the Alps, you should make sure you have snow chains that fit your wheels well, a warning triangle, and reflective jacket. You are legally required to have a warning triangle and reflective jacket in your car when driving in France, and naturally, once you get to higher altitudes in the Alps the roads can get icy, so snow chains are an important to have as a precaution. You can read more in the AA’s guide to driving abroad.
A final good tip that can save you both time and money when driving to the Alps is pre-booking your toll payments through the Liber-t scheme. You can find out more information and buy your toll tags through the Emovis Tag website.
