VIP SKI Blog

For those that are happy to fly to Geneva and maybe wait a little at the airport over a cup of coffee we will continue to offer complimentary coach transfers to and from all of our resorts with three scheduled departures a day. We will have a manned desk at Geneva Airport to provide welcome and assistance to all arriving and departing VIP SKI guests.

For those after something a little bit special at a price that didn’t break the bank we had to work a bit harder. So we manhandled our local taxi suppliers into an armlock, asked them to sharpen their pencils again and again, and threw some of our own money at the prices we negotiated. We’ve ended up with some amazing rates.

So for those worried about waiting unnecessarily at the airport for others, those who prefer the intimacy of their own company, or indeed those who would like to fly to Lyon, Grenoble or Chambery, we can now offer unbelievable upgrade prices for your own personal driver to meet your flight and transfer you directly to and from your chalet.

Private transfer supplements from only £20 per person in the Portes du Soleil and £40 per person to the Tarentaise. See prices for private transfers.

To move with the times and facilitate this change, and to give our guests access to the full gamut of scheduled airline services available, we have instead concentrated on the part of the journey that is hard and expensive to organise, getting from the airport to resort and back again. We will therefore be operating Geneva as our transport hub, the airport with the most arrivals and departures to the UK.

We will have a manned desk at the airport as a liaison point for those that have booked to travel to resort independently and to provide assistance to all VIP SKI guests throughout the day.

For those who would like to make use of our complimentary transfer service, we are offering three scheduled buses up to and down from each resort at intervals every Sunday (and on a Wednesday for our December departures), seats only available by prior reservation. Click for full details and timings.

Whilst our complimentary scheduled coach transfers from Geneva are comfortable, reliable and efficient, we recognise that they may not suit everyone. Guests might worry about being inconvenienced by flight delays, waiting unnecessarily at the airport for others, or might wish to fly to Lyon, Grenoble or Chambery and take advantage of a flight route, timing and price that suits better.

We have therefore negotiated with local taxi partners and subsidised the cost substantially to provide private taxi transfer at some amazing prices. The comfort and intimacy of a personal driver and vehicle to take a party straight from the airport terminal to chalet, and then back to the airport a week later, costs as little as £20 per person to anywhere in the Portes du Soleil or £40 to Val d’Isère and Les Arcs.

If you need our help researching flight options, availability and prices then of course we are more than happy to assist.

This is the ultimate skiing venue, at 1530 metres altitude, on the piste, in the main Les Gets ski area of Les Chavannes and next to all the lifts. Green, red and blue pistes weave back to the terrace through the woods. The unique location offers unbeatable ski in ski out access, easy links to ski into Morzine and the rest of the Portes du Soleil area and absolute serenity in the evening.

CLUB Altitude Lodge will cater for 12-22 guests in six en suite bedrooms, three of which have private hot tubs.

We're so excited to have this chalet back, don't forget we have our 'saver week' discount for all January dates so you could save up to £100 per person by booking early.

If you are considering skiing this winter and have any questions we’d love to hear from you.

If you don’t want to wait to secure your favourite chalet or departure date then our website is now fully up to date, transactional, and you can make a secure booking with a “no cash deposit”, albeit you will need to wait until we get back into the office from around 17 May to call you up and take your money.

Post-Covid we’ve come back with only those properties that we think offer the very best we previously operated, be that because of its location, facilities or value. Some will undoubtedly be disappointed to discover that we no longer offer Alpe d’Huez or Méribel but everyone will surely be excited by our new piste side hotel and apartment complex in Arcs 1950, redefining the ski chalet holiday. Colibri Uno and Colibri Penthouse in Morzine are back having been rebuilt following the fire and two spectacular new chalets in Val d’Isère with pools, one indoor, one out.

Same staff, same service, same community of people that made it work before. Flights not included anymore and so lower prices allowing you flexible travel arrangements from whichever airport you choose, complimentary transfers from Geneva or amazing upgrade rates on personal drivers and private transfers from all local airports.

It’s so good to be back. Take a moment to browse through the website and feel free to book online should you wish, we will give you a call in the next couple of weeks to take your deposit. If you would prefer to chat before you make your booking then give us a buzz after 1 June. We can’t wait.

We would hope that travel restrictions will be a distant memory in a year’s time and that the small print of Brexit will have been agreed, meaning that we can rebuild our collection of guest favourites to a wider choice of resorts in time for the 2022/23 winter season. We are extremely sorry for those loyal guests that we leave disappointed for the forthcoming season.

We do have plenty of exciting alternatives including our amazing new piste-side complex at 1950m altitude in Les Arc, Bear Resort, for which we have a number of introductory offers in order to tempt guests across from their previous favourites (if only for one winter!)

We very much hope to welcome you in the mountains this winter. If you have any questions please do call the team on 0203 892 4060.
