Winter · Multi-resort ski safari

A different mountain every day.

The safari on a budget — a bed in a shared room, the five-day lift pass included, and Jenny and Jan picking the mountain each morning. Skis and the flight are on you — or add gear when you book and we’ll sort that too.

A quiet mountain to yourselves

Your last full day on snow — at Crevacol, small, steep in places and almost never busy, or back over at Champoluc, wherever the snow is best. Add a certified mountain guide for the day (€50, optional) to get properly off-piste, or let Jenny and Jan pick the lines.

Day6One last run

Heading home · Day 6

A last run, then transfer out

Depending on your flight, squeeze in one more morning on the pistes — leave your bags in the bus and ski until it’s time to go, then we drive you to the airport.

To Turin ~1 h 45 · Geneva ~2 h 30

These are preliminary timetables — the exact days can shift with hotel availability, conditions and the group that’s travelling, and we’ll keep you informed all the way. The hotels named are the standard we book to; refuges and mountain stays (Plateau Rosa, the Champoluc baita) are fixed, while village hotels and chambres d’hôtes may shift to an equivalent of the same class.

Your organizers

Two organizers, all season.

The same faces all winter — they live in the valley, ski it every day, and pick the mountain and slopes with the best conditions every morning.

Jenny

Organizer · all season

Skis these valleys all winter and knows where the snow holds — Jenny sets the route, finds the best restaurants for a lunch break, and keeps the group together on the mountains.

LikesSoft snow to make many smooth, sliding turns.

Valtournenche

Jan

Organizer · all season

Lives in the Aosta Valley year-round — up high on foot in summer, on skis all winter. Jan looks after logistics and accommodation, keeps an eye on the weather, and skis every day of the safari with the group.

LikesFast, long turns on sweeping pistes.

You sort the flight — and skis, unless you add them. We sort the rest.
