How To Book A Luxury Ski Holiday

A quick guide to booking a luxury ski holiday:

1. Get your group together and decide on dates. Remember, the most expensive weeks with accommodation will be Christmas and new years. The most negotiable rates will be at the start and end of the season (as well as last minute bookings).

2. Set a budget. When it comes to skiing, it’s best to know your total budget for the trip before enquiring.

3. Decide on your ski resort. If you’re unsure which resort will suite you best, speak with a luxury ski holiday expert like The Luxury Chalet Company who will guide you on the best resort for your vacation (they know which resorts are best for all groups; family’s, beginners, corporate retreats, off piste skiing, advanced skiers, ultimate luxury getaways and special occasions).

4. Decide on your luxury chalet. These days, anything is possible! Rental properties with hot tubs, saunas, cinema rooms, private bars and private chefs are standard. There is no limit to any other requirements for your chalet.

5. Get your luxury chalet booked. A deposit (usually 25%) will be required to secure the property for travel dates further than 60 days. The remainder of the balance or the full amount will be required for bookings under 60 days away. A security deposit usually held on credit card will also be required. Remember, they may be options for negotiations for last minute bookings.

6. Get your flights and transfer sorted. Private jet and helicopter transfer will always be the quickest and easiest way to arrive, however some groups like the benefits of having their car in resort.

7. Get your custom itinerary. From heli skiing to restaurants bookings, it’s always a wise idea to have at least a rough itinerary for your holiday. A ski guide on the first day is always recommended (rough cost £500 per day per group). Your itinerary may also include lift passes on arrival and recommended ski gear rental shops as well as best mountain lunches and evening activities.

8. Pack your bags and go! Don’t forget suncream for those blue bird days!

Make sure you’ve got winter sports insurance. With the average cost of 20,000 for on piste evacuation by heli, the bills keep adding up from there.

A luxury skiing holiday is an unforgettable experience that combines the thrill of skiing with the comfort and extravagance of a five-star resort. Whether you are a seasoned skier or a beginner, a luxury skiing holiday is the perfect way to escape the daily grind and immerse yourself in the beauty of the mountains. The first aspect that sets a luxury skiing holiday apart from a regular ski trip is the quality of the accommodation. From grand chalets to opulent suites, the lodgings available in luxury ski resorts are nothing short of spectacular. They are equipped with every modern amenity you could imagine, including plush bedding, fireplaces, saunas, hot tubs, gyms, cinemas, spa areas, swimming pools, wine cellars, cigar lounges and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain landscape.

The second aspect that defines a luxury ski holiday is the level of service provided. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by friendly and attentive staff who are always on hand to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. Whether you need help with your ski equipment, a recommendation for a restaurant, a massage, or a warm blanket for après ski, the staff are always happy to help.

Another defining feature of a luxury skiing holiday is the quality of the ski slopes and facilities. The best European ski resorts have well-groomed slopes that are suitable for skiers of all levels, from beginners to advanced. The slopes are also equipped with multiple gondoliers and numerous ski lifts that take you effortlessly to the top of the mountain, allowing you to spend more time skiing and less time waiting in line.

In addition to the ski slopes, luxury ski resorts also offer a variety of other activities for guests to enjoy. From snowmobiling to ice skating, there is something for everyone, regardless of age or skill level. For those who prefer to relax and be pampered, there are also on-site spas that offer a range of treatments, from hot stone massages to aromatherapy.

After a day on the slopes, a luxury ski holiday offers a variety of dining options that are sure to please even the most discerning palates. From michelin star chefs inside your own private chalet to gourmet restaurants serving exquisite local cuisine, there is something for everyone. The best ski resorts also offer après ski options, including bar crawls, live music, and dancing, for those who want to keep the party going into the night.

Finally, a luxury skiing holiday provides the opportunity to indulge in some retail therapy. From designer boutiques selling high-end clothing and accessories to quaint local shops selling handmade crafts, the ski resorts offer a wealth of shopping opportunities.

In conclusion, a luxury skiing holiday is the ultimate way to escape the stress of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty and excitement of the mountains. Whether you are a seasoned skier or a beginner, you are sure to have an unforgettable experience filled with luxury, comfort, and adventure. So, pack your bags, grab your skis, and head to the mountains for a holiday you will never forget!
