Dynamic Days Out
With our Exclusive Concierge service you build your own bespoke luxury holiday, but in case you wanted a little inspiration we have put together some of the most exciting & exclusive Alpine activities to create Dynamic Days out. Any of these amazing days out will make your holiday a truly unforgettable experience.
Ski Master Class & Vallee Blanche Day
Enjoy a full day’s skiing with Remy Lecluse. Remy is a French IFMGA Mountain Guide who has worked with us for many years. He is an extreme skiing specialist, with 500 extreme descents, including 56 first descents in the Alps, High-Atlas, Lyngen Alps (Norway), Himalayas & Andes. Remy is among the very few guides who take clients on extreme slopes (including 10 first descents).You couldn't not improve your style and take your skiing up a level while skiing with Remy for the day.
You will start the day early, heading up the Aguille du Midi lift in Chamonix and will then ski down the legendary Vallee Blanche, ending up at Montenvers, where we will pick you up by helicopter and transfer you to the famous Cremerie du Glacier restaurant, in the forest above Argentiere, for a well deserved late lunch. If you still have any stamina left, Remy can take you up the Grand Montets and show you some essential off-piste skiing techniques & tips. Experience a skiing master class and enjoy Haute Savoie cuisine at its most authentic.
Snow Sports Adrenaline Day
A fantastic alternative to getting your adrenaline kicks from skiing or boarding, our adrenaline day starts early, with a parapent/paraglide flight from the top of Brevent, an experience to make your spirits soar. Then we will take you up the valley to experience dog sledding with a team of huskies, followed by a gourmet lunch. After lunch we will pick you up by helicopter, and after a short fly around to take in the spectacular scenery, you will be dropped off at the bottom of the Mer du Glace, at Montenvers, where you can experience the scary thrill of Glacier walking, and also learn some of the basics of ice-climbing.
Action Sports Photography Day
This is a very special and totally unique way to spend a day on the mountain for those of you who are into photography. Bring your own camera and Chamonix based professional freelance photographer Dan Milner will take you out for a morning on the mountain, or in the snow park, and show you how to get the best out of your expensive bit of kit in mountain conditions and how to take those killer action & air shots that you see in magazines. Dan describes himself as having a life-long love affair with the bicycle, the beauty of the natural world and the adventurous spirit that lies within many of us. Aimed at interested amateurs with a fairly good level of expertise already, this day will take you up to the next level and will include a session back at your chalet evaluating the photos on screen and tips on editing & post production.
Ex senior photographer for Snowboard UK magazine for 10 years, and veteran of trips to Patagonia, Kashmir, Greenland & Alaska, check out Dan’s work on his website www.danmilner.com.
Rest & Relaxation Italian Day
Total rest & relaxation for skiers and non skiers alike. If you fancy a rejuvenating day away we will whisk you to Italy after a super healthy, fresh breakfast and an in-house yoga or meditation session. We will start in Aosta for a spot of shopping at its famous market, on a Wednesday or a Saturday, then take you for a gourmet Italian lunch before driving you to Terme Pré Saint Didier for the afternoon. You can forget about the stresses of everyday life at this internationally renowned hot springs & thermal spa. Restore your energy in the hot springs in a stunning outdoor setting and enjoy the views of snowy mountains, while you indulge yourself in the warm waters and let yourself be pampered by regenerating hydro massages. At the end of the day we will drive you back to your chalet in time for dinner.
Gourmet & Glamour Evening
Start the evening with a cocktail party in your chalet, with cocktails made to order by our own mixologist, canapés, and tunes provided by a DJ playing your favourite tracks. We will then take you by helicopter to the enchanting town of Megeve, 20 km away, to enjoy a delicious gourmet dinner at Marc Veyrat’s famous restaurant “La Ferme de Mon Pere” (twice awarded the Three Star recognition by the Michelin Guide). After dinner we will taxi you back to Chamonix to the Casino for brandy, cigars & a bit of a flutter, followed by late night dancing if you have the stamina, or back your chalet for a nightcap if you prefer.
Savoyard Adventure Evening
To experience a great evening out for families - jump into our 4x4 and let the adventure begin. Arriving to the sound of revving skidoos, you storm up the mountain in charge of your very own ski mobile machine. Atop the Alpine mountain, you enter a fondue frenzy of cheese and wine, surrounded by log fires and tall stories before mounting your toboggan and sledging at speed through the snow-lit night down to the awaiting 4x4 carriage back to Chamonix.
