Monarch adds Austrian resorts to ski programme
Monarch is offering ski holidays to Austria, Andorra, France and Italy this winter.
New to this year’s programme are Zell am See, Mayrhofen and Kaprun in Austria, where the operator is offering a total of 11 resorts based on flights from Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester.
In France, Monarch is offering just two resorts, Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez, with flights from Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester to Grenoble.
In Italy it offers the largely unknown resorts of Folgaria and Lavarone as well as the popular Livigno, but flights to Verona are only available from Manchester.
Andorra is more accessible with flights from Gatwick, Leeds Bradford, Birmingham and Manchester to Barcelona.
Cosmos Holidays, which previously offered ski packages, was recently re-branded Monarch after all the travel group’s brands were consolidated under one name.
