Off Skiing? Don't Forget About the Ferry

With heavy snow already reported across the Alps, keen skiers and snowboarders are looking forward to their winter ski break. Convenient P&O Ferry Crossings from Dover to Calais or Hull to Zeebrugge go straight to the heart of the European autoroute network, with most Alpine resorts only eight to 10 hours drive away. Taking the ferry means there is no wasted time in airport queues and there are no baggage restrictions, meaning you can take all your favourite skiing and snowboarding gear with you. Ferry crossings this winter start at £25 each way for a car and up to nine passengers using the Dover-Calais service.
