Explore and improve your skills at the same time

You and other skiers of similar abilities, an instructor-guide and some of the largest ski areas on the planet. Guided skiing and snowboarding with The Ski Gathering is the name of the game. See as much of the ski area as possible while improving your technique. This is primarily an on-piste holiday, but there may be bits of off-piste here and there for added adventure (depending on your group's level and snow conditions).

A typical day on our Guided Ski Holidays

No single supplement. What does that mean?

The single-occupancy supplement is generally the biggest headache for individual skiers travelling alone. Usually, solos have to pay a premium for the empty bed, making ski holidays unaffordable for most singles and solo skiers. With The Ski Gathering, you'll be sharing a room so there is no single supplement. Sharing a triple or quad room, you pay slightly less than those sharing a twin.

Course Structure: Varies by Resort and Date

Each of our Guided Ski Holiday will have a different course structure and itinerary, depending on the resort, the dates you travel, the length of your stay, and the conditions that week. Some trips can include up to four full days of more intensive guiding; some others are intended to be a bit more technique focussed and may feature three days or alternate formats.

The aim of our Guided Ski Holidays is to help you explore as much of the ski area as possible while offering tips and coaching along the way. Please note that some dates might require a certain level of ability on the slopes, while others will allow for groups of different levels including anyone who's competent on blue runs. Click on the resort of your choice below to find out more about the course structure, level requirements, and inclusions of the holiday.

  • Zell Am See | Austria (10th Jan 2025 - 7 nights)

    This is a relaxed week combining light guiding with informal instruction across three mornings during your stay. The instructor-led sessions will take place on Sunday 11th, Tuesday 13th, and Thursday 15th January, running from 09:30 to 12:30. You'll be placed into smaller groups (around six to eight people) based on ability and pace, with the aim of covering the mountain while also picking up useful tips to fine-tune your technique.

    Outside of the guided mornings, there's plenty of time to ski with other guests, take it easy, or explore the resort independently. One evening, the instructors will join you for drinks and dinner to catch up and share ideas on where to head next. There will also be a group curling evening during the week (details to be confirmed). This trip suits skiers and boarders who are comfortable on blue runs and above, looking to build confidence in a sociable, low-pressure setting.

  • Chamonix - Les Houches | France (16th Mar 2025 - 4 nights)

    This short break is all about discovering the best of the Chamonix Valley in the company of experienced instructor-guides. Over three full days (17th, 18th and 19th March), you'll enjoy full-day guiding from around 9am until 3-4pm, depending on the length of lunch breaks and group preference. The focus here isn't technique, but exploration — seeing as much of the valley as possible without having to check the piste map.

    You'll meet your guides at the bar on the first evening to discuss plans for the coming days. On the slopes, the group will split into smaller teams of up to six per instructor to allow for different speeds and skiing styles. With the scale and complexity of the terrain in Chamonix, this trip is ideal for skiers who are confident on red runs or above. This is a more intensive trip, so come ready for full days on the mountain.

Can I Join the Guided Ski / Boarding Holidays?

This holiday is designed for relatively capable skiers and boarders. It is important that you have the skiing and boarding ability required to participate to a given trip, and keep up with the group. These requirements will be enforced by the instructors and anyone who does not meet their criteria will not be allowed to participate.

Minimum Requirements

These trips are designed for confident intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders who are comfortable on blue runs for some, or red runs and above on others. This holiday is not suitable for complete beginners.

So how does this work?

We have partnered with amazing local ski schools to bring you an awesome holiday of guiding designed to showcase the best of the ski area. Learn while you explore as your instructor-guide gives you the low-down on the local area. At the same time they are available to give you tips and tricks to enhance you technique. Please note the guides are all on skis, so while boarders are welcome on these holidays the guide will be limited on how much instruction they can give them.

Why Join?

If you are into "putting down the miles" cruising reds (and blues) and want to explore further then this is for you. This holiday is about seeing as much as can be seen. Using your skis / board to really see the whole area the area. The focus here is exploration with a hint of instruction.

Marc and Alexia, our guides from ESF were just outstanding and tons of fun. Belinda and the Chalet crew were awesome and the food just can't be beat. The other guests were, again, all wonderful and I even ran into last year's roommate on the slopes! What are the chances. I still can't recommend this trip highly enough.
