26 Jan A once in a life time ski experience

What does it take to create a once in a lifetime ski experience? The holy grail of mountain adventures is not simple to achieve. However,  with expertise, creativity and a sprinkling of magic we will make it happen for you. Most people can book a nice hotel in a ski resort these days but a truly once in a lifetime ski experience needs more.

Recently I was with a friend who was on the phone to her brother talking about his ski holiday. I overheard the comments ‘crowded lift lines’, ‘bad food’, ‘impossible to get a reservation for lunch’, ‘overcrowded evening restaurants’ and ‘bad service’. On top of that, the snow was over-skied and the traffic on the motorway home sounded awful. My friend turned to me and asked “how do you work in this industry?” So much for the once in a lifetime ski experience.

Inside knowledge is king

This made me stop and think. The way we work, we are able to avoid these sorts of experiences. Admittedly, we deal with more resources than most, but it’s not just about the resources. It’s really about the knowledge, the network and the attention to detail.

Nowadays people think that being in a nice hotel will save you from the crowds. In reality that is not enough. Most people tend to go to the same places at the same times. What is easy to find on the internet becomes overrun.  These addresses are not the places you should be looking for anyway, They are far from the real gems available in the Alps. Thinking outside the box, even the simplest of itineraries in the right, out-of-the-way place can be a unique blessing. Local knowledge, qualified guides and a great network all contribute to finding the right spots. Add attention to detail. Make a booking well in advance and then the real magic can start to take place for your tailor made once in a lifetime ski experience.
