Many people plan holidays with one of two goals in mind: to relax and escape everyday life or to have an adventure. A ski holiday offers the best of both.

From careening down the slopes to the after-hours excitement of après ski, building snowmen, snow-boarding, ice-skating, sleigh riding, hot-air ballooning and more, a ski holiday is loads of fun - and is perfect for families.

Flight Centre is offering a 10-night ski trip to the Austrian slopes of Zell am See, priced from R23890 per person sharing. It includes return flights from Jo'burg, taxes, return transfers, meet and greet, 10 nights' deluxe pension accommodation with breakfast, 9-day ski pass, 9-day ski hire (boots, poles and skis), travel insurance and a travel wallet. Children's rates start from R15040 per child sharing with parents. This package is valid for travel between December 18 and 30.

Upgrade to a five-day Ski School option from R1700 and the entertainment programme from R1600.
