About

Heidi was born to make it easy for more and more people to discover the power of the mountains. We burst onto the ski holiday market in 2018 (formally known as Ski Zoom) and have seen exponential growth - we are now the fastest growing ski travel business in the UK. The company came from a desire to fix the lack of flexibility in the winter ski market. We help skiers and mountain lovers discover resorts that are hidden gems alongside the classics, and our clever tech is helping them to do it in a way that suits them best (including shorter holidays, avoiding expensive Saturday flights, options to travel by train). Not only is our product something very different, Heidi as a youthful, challenger brand, is shaking up a very traditional ski holiday industry.

AI made execution free. Knowing first is the whole game now.
