Sarah Cramer
Where is best to go skiing in March?
Val Thorens, Tignes, Zermatt, and St. Anton are all great picks for March ski holidays with snow worries. Keeping snow on their slopes until late in the season, these high-altitude ski resorts pack in the pow, meaning longer days of skiing and snowboarding action.

High-altitude and glacier resorts like Val Thorens, Val d’Isere, Zermatt, Cervinia, and St. Anton are always safe bets when it comes to snow on the slopes.

What to wear skiing in March?
Layering is essential when it comes to skiing in March - through mornings can be chilly, afternoons can see sunshine warm up the slopes, meaning light, versatile layers are key. We recommend baselayers, mid-layers, a light, breathable ski jacket, goggles, gloves, and a helmet.
Do you need thermals for skiing in March?
It’s still worth bringing thermals whenever you’re skiing, especially at high-altitude and glacier resorts. Although the afternoons can tend to warm up as sunshine hits the slopes, mornings will still be chilly, so bringing light, versatile layers that you can add and remove as needed can be a lifesaver.
