Snowboarders and skiers in the UAE can now book a trip to the slopes with Etihad Holidays, whose new winter holidays brochure features fantastic packages to destinations across the Etihad Airways network.
Holidays in the snow-capped mountains of Lebanon, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and the USA start from Dhs 3,650 for a three-night break in Lebanon, and include return Coral Economy Class flights with Etihad Airways from Abu Dhabi, breakfast and airport transfers.
Tony Gauci, Etihad’s head of direct sales, said: “Etihad Holidays’ extensive programme includes top ski resorts at one of the world’s most famous ski areas such as Breckendridge, Colorado in USA and Zermatt in Switzerland, as well small and friendly chalet-style hotels in Europe offering a homely alpine stay.
“The new brochure caters for all tastes and budgets, whether you are travelling with family or a group of friends.”
Lebanon has firmly established itself on the global ski map in recent years and Etihad Holidays is offering breaks to the Faraya-Mzaar and Faqra resorts, which offer 42 slopes and views of the capital city, Beirut. Guests looking for a short holiday close to home can enjoy long-weekend breaks in Lebanon, with a choice of the international 5 star hotel at Mzaar InterContinental (priced from AED3,650 per person for three nights half board) and the cosy 4 star Terre Brune Hotel.
