The operator has not added any new countries but includes 44 new properties in 25 resorts in Italy, Switzerland, Canada, France, Lapland and Austria.

Inghams chief executive Joe Ponte said: “With skiers keen to hit the slopes and secure the holidays they want, we are launching our winter programme with an additional selection of hotels and chalets. 

“In recent weeks we have continued to see ski booking numbers ahead of where we expected them to be, but there are still some great deals to be had on our December 2022 ski trips, including Christmas and New Year weeks.”

Among 11 new properties in Austria are two catered chalets in St Anton and nine hotels across six resorts including Saalbach and Obergurgl.

Among other new accommodation is an apart-hotel in Zermatt, described as perfect for self-catering families and five new properties in Lapland, with cabins and hotels in Levi, Saariselka and Yllas.

Incentives include half-price ski hire or ski carriage on charter flights when lift passes are booked with Inghams. All holidays can be booked with a £150pp deposit.

In addition, Val d’Isere and Tignes offer a half-price ski pass. Clients buying one pass receive a discount on another on certain dates in January, February and March.
