Crystal Ski holidays 2009 go on sale

The new ski season may only just be beginning, but Crystal Ski has already released its ski holiday options for the 2008/9 season.

The holiday company will offer trips to 143 resorts in 16 countries, including a new ski break to the Austrian resort of Kirchdorf.

Kirchdorf is a "great value all-inclusive resort" Crystal explains, ideal for families and beginners. Prices start from £509 for the resort, including return flights, half board accommodation, a lift pass, equipment hire and tuition, as well as some children's activities and crèche care.

For holidaymakers looking for an all-out budget ski holiday Crystal ski has a cheap ski break for £239 per person, based on seven sharing two-star accommodation in Tignes, France. The trip includes return flights from Gatwick to Lyons, transfers and seven nights' self catering accommodation, departing December 2008.

Crystal has also pledged a price promise on its 2008/9 holidays - the company will refund the difference if the same holiday can be found for less.

"Crystal's new preview brochure will enable all skiers, especially families and larger groups returning from this season's ski holiday to secure their choice for next season, at the time of their choosing, safe in the knowledge that they are getting the best price," commented Gareth Crump, Crystal Ski product and marketing director.
