Skiing in the USA
The United States has many different ski resorts all with their own pulling power, from the East Coast peaks across to the majestic Rockies and along the West Coast.
You’ll find big mountains, some of the best snow conditions in the world, and outstanding hotels – with that all-American service and a smile.
Breckenridge
102 miles from Denver airport
Breckenridge is a former gold rush town, and it almost feels like you are stepping back in time, with clapboard shopfronts and Victorian saloons with swinging doors. However, it is an excellent ski resort well within the 21st century. Its old-west charm mixes nicely with the superb skiing on offer, boasting some huge ski parks and off-piste bowls. With runs called ‘Psychopath’ and ‘Boneyard’, expert skiers are well catered for, but you will also find some intimidating intermediate runs too. As the highest resort in the USA, you will find something to keep you entertained on its many peaks.
Vail
118 miles from Denver airport
Classed as one of the best resorts in the USA, if not the world, Vail was purpose-built in 1962 to bring alpine charm to the Rockies. The Austrian-inspired village, 300-plus days of sunshine and legendary snow-sure conditions creates an atmosphere like no other. Choose from the miles of groomed pistes and trails, or head to the six huge Back Bowls where fresh powder sits waiting. Vail is great for anyone, but alongside the impressive feather-light Colorado powder, advanced skiers will love the double-diamond black Goshawk and Peregrine runs. Après ski can be found in the centre of town, including Belle’s Camp – an outdoor barbecue with incredible views.
Aspen
206 miles from Denver airport
Renowned as one of the best places to ski in the world, Aspen consists of four separate resorts. Aspen itself – a beautiful Colorado town – is full of boutiques, restaurants and chic bars, but also pubs, cafés and ski shops to get the latest kit. But it is the skiing that brings people in droves each winter. Perfect for both intermediates and experts, with long cruising runs in the Aspen Highlands, and some sublime off-piste and tree-runs. Those looking for a challenge should try the Cirque and The Hanging Valley Glades, which offer some of the steepest chutes in the USA.

Multi-city holidays
Enjoy the ultimate American multi-centre holiday. Head northeast from Los Angeles straight through Nevada and onto Las Vegas. When you’re ready to leave prepare for a scenic drive through magnificent landscapes on your way to the ‘City by the Bay’, San Francisco. Finish your holiday with a flight to Hawaii and relax on a gorgeous beach. Or try Tampa – driving the coastal road past Sarasota, down to Naples and through The Everglades on your way to Miami.
USA road trips
If a laidback lifestyle, attractions galore and the freedom of the open road sounds like your kind of holiday, head for the USA. America’s main highways are easy to navigate and cruising in your car is the best way to get around and explore. With a fly drive you can discover stunning coastal views from Los Angeles up to the vineyards near San Francisco or through the vast deserts to Las Vegas. Explore the spectacular Rocky Mountain range with a fly-drive from Denver, Colorado.
City breaks
Join locals for live jazz and blues in earthy Chicago bars, with a cold beer in hand. The world’s best divas grace the stage of New York's Metropolitan Opera: take a seat under the crystal chandeliers to watch them perform. Browse around boutiques in Boston, then catch the Red Sox at a baseball game. Whirl around the wealth of monuments in Washington D.C. Or enjoy a music lover’s dream in New Orleans.
Beach holidays
Soft, sandy beaches and bright blue waters combine with a sophisticated ambience and cultural vibe in the USA. Enjoy the best of both when you choose stylish beach cities like Miami, where buff, tanned bodies are as prevalent as palm trees. Or relax on the stunning California coastline, hanging out in Santa Monica – Los Angeles' oldest beach resort.
Family holidays
Florida's Orlando is the theme park capital of the world: the family will adore the magical show at Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World. Hit the beach boardwalk in Fort Lauderdale and ride along the shimmering waterways by boat. Explore rustic deserts in Phoenix or hike a mountain at sunset. In glitzy Los Angeles watch fire jugglers on Venice Beach or explore movie sets at Universal Studios Hollywood.
- Have some serious fun on a theme park holiday. At Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Epic Universe’s portals will transport you to Super Nintendo World, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk and Celestial Park. Orlando is also home to Walt Disney World Resort, meaning it’s home to princesses, Jedis, villains and the main man himself, Mickey Mouse.
- Plan a city break in New York. Shop down Fifth Avenue and take in the Manhattan skyline – Empire State Building included – from the Top of the Rock before grabbing a cosmo in a late-night piano bar. See a different side to the city when you walk along the High Line and look for the Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay. If you want a better view of Lady Liberty, take the Staten Island Ferry to get up close for free.
- Visit a USA national park. Yellowstone is the oldest national park in the world, with canyons and mountains surrounding steamy lakes and geysers. Yosemite’s got rip-roaring waterfalls and ancient giant sequoia trees to stare up at. In Arizona, the Grand Canyon is what it says it is: it’s grand, it’s gorgeous and it’s well worth the day trip from Las Vegas.
- Set off on a great American road trip. Cruise along coastal roads and stop in cities to dig into foodie delights like San Francisco burritos. See plenty of sun on an Arizona and Las Vegas road trip or pass palm trees bending beneath rainbows on the Hana Highway in Hawaii. Go wherever you want, whenever you want, when you hire a car for your holiday.
- Set course for sandy beaches. White sands and pink sunsets wait in Miami while dolphins and whales can often be spotted from the shores of San Diego. In Los Angeles, see the Ferris wheel spinning above Santa Monica pier. Alternatively, swap cities for islands and head to Hawaii where you can step on to both white-as-snow and black-as-midnight sands.
