YTC publishes its new ski holiday brochure

YTC recently published the 13th edition of its ‘Ski and Snowboard’ brochure ahead of the 2011/12 ski season.

The new format, 44-page, full-colour brochure contains useful information for anyone planning a ski holiday.

Local travel specialist YTC has been organising ski holidays for over 40 years.

Its main ski destination is Livigno, which has proved to be very popular with Maltese skiers over the years. Well-known for its excellent skiing, nightlife and duty-free shopping, Livigno is an all-round resort.

Situated close to the borders of Switzerland and Austria, Livigno is surrounded by mountains and has a unique climate which guarantees the longest ‘snow sure’ winter sports season in the Italian Alps.

Livigno is also suitable for non-skiers who would like to join their family or friends on holiday, with snowboarding, sledging, horse-riding, jet-biking and tyre sliding all possible. Nearby attractions include Larix Park, Acquagranda and Latteria.

YTC also offers ski holidays in Wagrain, Austria. With 350km of pistes, forming one of the largest ski areas in Austria, it is an ideal resort for experienced skiers. A group departure is planned for January 14 to 21.

There are also group departures planned to Andalo (January 28 to February 4) and Bormio, another two popular Italian destinations.

YTC has created the Ski and Snowboard Club for winter sports enthusiasts. Club members have the exclusive services of YTC ski director, Mariano Galas, who offers a wealth of experience and expertise.

There is also a permanent on-site YTC representative and a co-ordinating office in Malta. In addition, members can make use of club ski suits loaned at a nominal charge.

Weekly group departures to Livigno start on December 5 and finish at Easter. All flights quoted in the brochure are with Air Malta to Linate Airport, Milan.

Prices listed include all extras, with no hidden charges, but YTC advises customers that it always better to ask for a customised quote.

YTC is offering a free ski pass to all customers who book on selected group departures at the beginning of the season, and an early booking discount is currently being offered for a limited period.

YTC recommends early booking for the best prices.
