January is the height of ski season with many Brits seeking out snow-filled holidays. France, Austria and Italy are among the most popular ski resort locations, however they can often end up being expensive.
But Ski holiday company Heidi has shared three cheap destinations you can fly to direct from Manchester Airport, with ski holidays for less than £500 per person.
Poland, Norway and Andorra all offer cheap ski holidays and are home to ‘hidden gem’ winter destinations. Poland is one of Europe's fastest-growing ski destinations, with Heidi ski holiday bookings to Poland up over 1,000 per cent year-on-year.
Zakopane, nestled at the heart of the Tatra mountains, is one of the country’s premier resorts, and it was recommended by cheap holiday expert Chelsea Dickenson on ITV’s This Morning as an affordable ski holiday destination.
For those not confident at booking ski holidays, Heidi makes it easy by allowing you to search for the best deals, including flights, accommodation and airport transfers. You can select your airport, choose your budget and search through various holidays.

- Geilo, Norway: £325pp for 3 nights at the 4-star Ustedalen Hotel Geilo , Fri 17th - Mon 20th Jan 2025, including return Manchester - Bergen flights and train airport transfers.

Marcus Blunt, Co-Founder of Heidi, explains: "Wherever you’re based in the UK, we’re passionate about making ski and snowboard holidays affordable and accessible.
"Our purpose is to help more people enjoy the freedom of the mountains and discover a wide range of resorts, from the ‘classics’ like Chamonix to hidden gems like Zakopane. From Manchester Airport you can also fly direct to Norway, and Andorra, which is one of our top-selling great value destinations and very family-friendly."
He added: “Despite budget pressures, thousands of people are using Heidi to get away to the mountains, even if it means a shorter break than the traditional 7-nighter. In the last month alone we’ve seen ski weekend bookings jump by over 40per cent.”
