What are Ski Packages?
All-inclusive ski packages do exactly what they say on the tin – they encompass everything you need to make the most of the mountains. A comfortable chalet to recuperate each night, return flights and transfers to your chosen resort, six days of catering paired perfectly with unlimited wine (till coffee is served), and of course, your lift pass and ski hire.
Whether it’s your first time on the slopes or you’re an experienced seasonnaire, there’s a package to suit you at one of our exclusive chalets.
The Benefits of Booking a Ski Package
There are many advantages to booking an all-inclusive ski holiday this season, we’ve outlined just a few of our favourite reasons why.
1. Save BIG. When you book a package trip, you’ll typically benefit from an impressive discount compared to when booking everything separately. Our expert team of ski specialists will be able to provide the best rates across bundled ski holidays, particularly when you ‘ski-all-in’ which includes your lift pass and rental equipment.
2. It’s super convenient. You can relax knowing everything has been taken care for you, all that’s left to do is pack! We’ll usually be able to deliver your lift pass to your chalet, and provide you with a rental voucher to collect your equipment with ease.
3. Customisable. Have your own equipment? You can still take advantage of ski-all-in! Swap your ski hire for ski carriage with the help of one of our team. And, while our package defaults to basic equipment, you can easily upgrade upon booking.
Who Should Consider Ski Packages?
While we think a ski bundle package can suit anyone looking to head to the slopes this winter, there are a few travellers in particular that could benefit the most:
– Beginners. Ideal for those new to skiing who just want to keep it simple, a complete ski package will dissolve any lingering fear. Our special beginner ski weeks even include lessons to get you started on the slopes, so you’ll be conquering the mountain in no time!
– Families. Organising for one can be tricky, let alone for the whole family! With our exclusive chalet accommodation, you’ll enjoy six days of catering, with high tea available for the little ones.
– Groups. Stick together and make your experience all the smoother. A bundle deal can often unlock discount you might otherwise miss out on, and ensures a fair price for everyone.
– Budget Travellers. The bundled nature of a ski package can make high-cost ski trips more affordable for those on a budget, with every aspect of your holiday wrapped up in one.

Our Favourite Destinations for the Winter Season
Alpe d’Huez
“Something for everyone; great for area beginners and families alongside the longest black run in Europe, and more for the advanced skier. Plus, a pretty good chance at bluebird days!”
Alpe d’Huez sits atop white clouds of snow at a respectable 1,860m. It is known as l’ile au soleil, or the ‘island in the sun’, due to the 300 sunny days it receives on average per year.
Worry not about the snow, however! This beautiful high site was specially chosen to host a purpose-built ski resort precisely because it offers the ultimate winter sport combination of snowy nights and sunny days.
Méribel
“Nestled in the centre of the Three Valleys, Méribel is a skier’s paradise renowned for its incredible location and traditional Alpine chalet-style buildings. There are lots of lively bars and restaurants, including the famous Folie Douce.”
Méribel is the convivial warm heart of the legendary Three Valleys ski area. The resort makes for a perfect base to explore these world-class mountains but also holds its own in the big league of must-ski destinations.
Chances are you will already know Méribel skiing, the British legacy here runs deep. The resort was conceived by Colonel Peter Lindsay in 1938 and is a prime example of a well-planned purpose-built ski resort thanks to strict building regulations and a solid and ongoing investment in its mountain infrastructure and eco-credentials. Add to this the array of apres-ski activities and the fantastic nightlife and you may find yourself gravitating back to this resort year after year – and you wouldn’t be alone.

Les Arcs
“Les Arcs is a perfect option for a mixed-ability group ski holiday. And, if you’re after nightlife, you’ll find plenty of parties to choose from in Arc 1800.”
Les Arcs forms part of the Paradiski ski area which also includes La Plagne and Peisey-Vallandry. Lovers of Les Arcs may have many superlatives to describe it, but one that everyone will agree on is definitely ‘unique’. This applies to everything from the unique design of the four high-altitude villages, Arcs 1600, 1800, 1950 and 2000, to the resort’s eco-credentials. These include a funicular linking Arc 1600 to the town of Bourg Saint Maurice at the bottom of the mountain.
Described as a ‘time-capsule of imaginative Modernist Seventies architecture’, Les Arcs accommodation includes sloping corridors, staggered balconies and buildings that curve in sympathy with the mountains. Arc 1950, built only a few years ago by American company Intrawest, has been described as an alpine Disneyland. Overall, it offer great access to the skiing pretty much wherever you are staying.
