The Alps offers some of the best skiing in the world.

Monarch is giving winter sports enthusiasts the chance to head to their favourite ski destinations in Europe free of charge as part of its Ski Flights Prize Draw.

The competition will see five pairs of flights up for grabs, with the winning entrants able to select from one of the four following destinations: Munich, Grenoble, Innsbruck and Friedrichshafen.

In order to enter, travellers simply need to submit a tweet on why they love ski holidays via the Twitter button on the entry form, which is located at www.telegraph.co.uk/monarchski, using the hashtag #weloveski.

All entries must be received by midnight on Sunday, December 23 and winners will be drawn at random from all entries received by the closing date.

Monarch recently announced that it is adding more than 17,500 seats to its existing flying programme over Christmas and New Year to cater to the growing number of travellers heading abroad for a dose of winter sun.

The increased flight schedule includes 35 extra flights to the popular destinations of Faro, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Gibraltar, Alicante and Malaga, departing from Birmingham, Gatwick, Luton and Manchester between December 19  and January 9 2013.

Kevin George, Managing Director of Monarch Airlines, said: “We have been delighted by the increased demand for seats on our flights during Christmas and New Year and we are very pleased to be able to respond by offering our customers more seats which, as always, are excellent value for money.

“The Christmas and New Year period is a perfect time for a well-deserved break and these short and mid-haul destinations are ideally located for customers wanting a winter holiday.

“Our current marketing campaign, ‘Remedy for the Winter Blues’,  highlights how we really do suffer in the UK from the ‘winter blues’ with our shorter days, rain, and cold, and these extra flights support our campaign by offering our customers the remedy for the blues with some winter sun.”
