Behind the Scenes in the Alps: Henry’s Video Stories

POSTED: Tue November 18, 2025

There’s more to what I do than quick stories and reels. This season, I’m excited to share longer, immersive videos that give a deeper look at life in the Alps. From behind the scenes at the brand new Graciosa to adventures on the mountain and meeting the people who make the resorts tick, I capture the magic of VIP SKI from my lens.

Bringing the Alps to life

This blog is where I’ll post my latest longform videos, the ones that don’t always fit on Instagram or TikTok. Here, you’ll find the full stories, little details, and moments that bring our resorts and holidays to life. Check back often, I’ll be updating this page with new videos as soon as they’re ready.

My latest video

A Night in a Piste Basher: Grooming the Slopes of Arc 1950
Climb aboard a piste basher with me and see what it takes to create those perfect corduroy slopes. I joined the grooming team in Arc 1950 last winter for a night under the stars, watching the mountain transform before morning. From steep climbs and powerful machinery to the skill and precision of the drivers, this is a rare glimpse into the world of piste preparation, and the people who make your morning ski runs feel magical.

Follow my journey

My creativity doesn’t stop at this blog. For daily behind-the-scenes snippets, snowy adventures, and mountain magic, follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Got an idea for what I should film next? I’d love to hear it, or share your own VIP SKI moments using #VIPSKIStories.

Stay tuned for more

There’s plenty more to explore this season. Bookmark this page and come back each week for the latest stories from the Alps. Whether you’re planning your next ski holiday or just love the mountains, my videos are here to inspire.

Stay safe on the mountain and enjoy the fresh air.
