Easter holidays 2027: mountain hotels and sunny escapes
Easter 2027 comes early, with Easter Sunday on 28 March. These are the hotels we would book, from Norwegian mountain lodges where Easter means skiing to sunny escapes with 25 degrees.
In Norway, Easter means the mountains. Families head for their cabins with skis, chocolate and oranges, and spend long, bright days on the trails. In 2027 Easter comes early, with Easter Sunday on 28 March, so there should be plenty of snow.
We have picked six Norwegian mountain hotels for a classic spring ski break, and two hotels in the sun for anyone who has had enough of winter.

Mountains or sunshine?
With an early Easter there is usually good snow across the Norwegian mountains, and the days are long and light. If you want warmth instead, the Canary Islands and Marrakech are the best choices in late March, at 23 to 25 degrees.
