Here at Erna Low, we’re very proud of our unique brand and history. So, we’d like to give you more information about our ethos as a company, as well as our extraordinary past.
We’ve come a long way since the company started way back back in 1932 – just think, they didn’t even have chairlifts when Erna Low arranged her first ski holiday!
Since those early days, Erna Low has progressed to become one of the UK’s leading ski tour operators.
Head over to our history section to read all about the legacy of Erna Low and view amazing archive footage, providing a social history of the ski community in the early 20th century. You can even buy the biography charting her extraordinary life here»

Once upon a time, when moustaches were fashionable and skis were long and skinny, a little company called Le Ski started taking people on skiing holidays…
…these people seemed to have a really good time when they stayed in our chalets, and so we carried on. Fast forward thirty years and moustaches seem to be making a comeback and skis are fat and short. But Le Ski is still quite a little company (and still spiritedly independent) because that’s the way we like it, and that’s the way our guests are happiest. And ultimately, that’s what it’s all about.
Whether you are looking to go skiing as a couple, with a group of friends or want to take the whole family on a winter getaway, ski holidays with Mark Warner offer everything you need for the perfect break on the slopes.

We’ve been around for around 37 years, starting out as two separate companies; one providing top-end ski holidays and the other teaching people to sail in Greece. For around two decades we became better and better at putting together activity-based holidays, one company doing fun things in the snow, the other having adventures in the Med.
In 1999, Thomas Cook, who owned both companies at the time, decided that it would make perfect sense for us to join together. That was when the famous orange logo was created, and Neilson Active Holidays as we know it came into existence.
From our base here in Brighton Marina, we create our award-winning beach, sailing and ski holidays and continue to perfect the art of making everyone feel welcome. No matter what your levels of experience or favourite activities are, Neilson Holidays really do let you relax as hard as you like.
In December 2013, Risk Capital Partners backed a management buyout of Neilson Active Holidays Ltd and we are now a wholly independent holiday company, looking forward to continuing to develop holidays we love to share with our guests. And we look forward to welcoming you to the mountains, the water and the beach in the near future.

A family run business, with over 50 combined years of experience, Dan, Marina (& their 3 budding skiers!) along with the snowchateaux team specialise in catered and self-catered ski chalet holidays in the Paradiski area of the French Alps.
We like to think that as a family run business and by focusing on the best of the French Alps, ski areas that we love and have a great deal of experience in, we can offer some of the most charming chalets, the nicest and most helpful staff and the best chefs the area has to offer.
As we know the area and locals so well, and are the direct and only providers of our own accommodation, we run our business with relatively low overheads (just as well in the current climate!) so are able to offer exceptional value La Plagne, Les Arcs and Tignes accommodation to our customers by passing those benefits on.
SnowTrex holidays are characterised by simplicity and clarity and are based on the customer’s wish for individuality and service.
We organise the journey (on request), the accommodation and lift pass for our guests. In most resorts there is a selection of accommodations and categories to choose from. Lessons and equipment hire can be booked as extras for some of the offered destinations.
In the largest resorts support is offered by a central holiday rep that also organises an unobtrusive entertainment programme (optional participation). These are the things that set SnowTrex apart from other ski holiday tour operators which generally offer only one group accommodation per resort, where the guest is then entertained “around the clock”.
