Which resort?
The best place for one of our romantic ski holidays depends on what kind of experience you’re hoping for.
Val d'Isere
Our original resort is still the largest in our portfolio and holds a special place in our hearts. Renowned for serious skiing and a wicked après ski scene, Val d’Isere suits those seeking to ski hard and party hard. That’s not to say that the town attracts a solely young crowd – the bars are concentrated around the centre, leaving plenty of quieter squares and streets with a world-class restaurant scene.
Arc 1950
Also within the Paradiski region, sits the peaceful yet bustling village of Arc 1950. Enjoy the astounding 425km of pistes from this side of the mountain, in our ski in-out luxury hotel or appartments which opened in December 2021. This entirely pedestrianised village is the newest and most aesthetical of the four Arcs villages, opening back in 2003.
Avoriaz
The Portes du Soleil ski area links Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets, three resorts which are as different a chalk and cheese. Avoriaz is a fabulously unique resort, completely car free with snowy pedestrianised streets. Sitting at 1800m altitude, Avoriaz is the highest resort in this massive ski area and gives the perfect base from which to explore the 650km of pistes.
La Plagne
La Plagne is a fantastic choice for couples, offering a mix of scenic skiing, cosy mountain restaurants, and breath-taking alpine views. Stay in a catered chalet and enjoy relaxed evenings sharing good food and conversation with like-minded couples, perfect for a sociable yet romantic escape.
Here's our rundown on skiing from December through to April;
Early season: We always open our Val d’Isere chalets the first week of December. Prices are lower at this time of year and the slopes tend to be quiet.
Christmas and New Year: Fulfil the dream of a white Christmas! The festive period is an exciting time to ski, with all our resorts putting on a real show with decorations, fireworks and festivities. Let our hosts take care of Christmas dinner, or enjoy a gala dinner on New Year’s Eve with champagne and canapes.
January: By January the season is getting into full swing and cold temperatures ensure a great snow cover. Some of the best offers can be snapped up in January and you can almost guarantee quieter pistes, but days are shorter and usually colder (although it will be cosy in the chalet with the log fire lit). If you are not beholden to school holidays, January is a fantastic month to hit the slopes.
February: One of the most popular months for skiing, usually with fantastic snow conditions. Valentine’s day is the next red-letter day in our calendar. Sipping champagne in a hot tub under the stars is a remarkable way to celebrate with someone special. UK school holidays are usually mid-February, so the pistes will be busier and we’ll have little guests in almost every chalet.
March: Typically one of the snowiest months in the French Alps, so you're pretty much guaranteed great skiing conditions and milder temperatures. The days begin to lengthen as we move past the mid-way point of the season, leaving more time for long lunches and sunny afternoons of après ski. Late March and early April are ideal for catching some rays in a slope-side deckchair.
April: Easter school holidays often fall in April so some weeks will be busy, but it's usually warmer. Some of our resorts will be closing after the middle of April, but we’ll be skiing in Val d’Isere until early May most years.
Which chalet?
CLUB chalets: if you’re looking to meet like-minded skiers then our CLUB chalets are often sold on a room by room basis. A canape reception before dinner each night gives you the perfect setting to discuss the day’s escapades, while beer and wine on tap flow long into the night. We employ dedicated chefs as well as hosts to add an extra touch of luxury fine dining.
Hotel: Bear Lodge is a small, friendly hotel which seeks to make you feel at home from the offset. Our kitchens cater on a half-board basis on all seven nights. We find that many guests make friends and end the week with large communal tables for their evening meal.
Shared chalet: We assemble groups in our shared chalets carefully, ensuring that the mix of ages and relationships is conducive to a memorable week. Outside school holiday dates, we would avoid placing children in shared chalets and you can travel secure in the knowledge you’ll be spending the week with like-minded people.
Small chalet: Our smallest chalets - No 2 Aspen House, Loft 3 and Suite Baloo - sleep four people and are perfect for a pair of couples or group of friends seeking a quiet week. Catering is flexible with smaller groups and your chalet host will tailor each day’s menu to your preferences.
We have been providing catered couples ski holidays for over 30 years. Our sales team knows all of our resorts inside out and can steer you towards the chalet which will suit you best. Get in touch on 0203 892 4060 to discuss any aspect of our service and book your ski break.
