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.

Whats included on our Guided Ski/Snowboard Holidays

Typical Itinerary

We have selected the following itinerary for your guided ski holiday. Depending on the group this may change slightly as needed. The instructor-guides are flexible and will tailor the itinerary to meet the groups needs. There will be a meeting between you and your guide at the chalet on arrival night where this can be discussed. All routes are of course weather permitting.

You are free to explore on your own on the days without a guide.

Guided Day 1 (Monday)

Day one is all about finding your feet. The guide will take you through out the local area of Les Get and Morzine allowing you to get your snow-legs back while seeing the local area.

Guided Day 2 (Tuesday)

Day two is about getting some altitude and miles. Today you head to all the way to the other side of the massive Portes Du Soleil. Chatel is the destination by way of the famous Avoriaz.

Guided Day 3 (Thursday)

Day three is back to the local area to improve technique and to try some of the more "challenging" runs. :-)

Guided Day 4 (Friday)

Leaving the best till last day four is about going international. You head to switzerland by way of Avoriaz for a coke and a smile, look out for the infamous Swiss Wall!

So how does this work?

We have partnered with an amazing local ski school to bring you an awesome week 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 week 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.
