Scott Dunn ski brochure

1

Since last season our Ski Team have been beavering away to bring you some exciting new additions to our

ski programme. This winter we are launching Scott Dunn at Six Senses Residences Courchevel, a collection of

luxurious self-catered apartments that have the benefit of staff on hand to stock your fridge and arrange things

like a bakery delivery each morning, ski passes and housekeeping. On top of this, there will be a Scott Dunn Explorers kids club on site, offering daytime and evening

childcare, an indulgent Six Senses Spa with an indoor pool and a driver service within 1850. For chalet guests we also

have something really novel. Our new culinary offering, called ‘Flying Chefs’ allows you to choose from a line-up of high profile chefs - Monica Galetti, Pierre Koffmann,

Alyn Williams, Andrew Wong, Sat Bains and Mauro Colagreco - to fly out to your chalet and cook a private

dinner party for you. It’s perfect for a special celebration.

ANDREW DUNNPRESIDENT & FOUNDER

Andrew Dunn started Scott Dunn back in 1986, with two chalets in Clairs Matin and Coccinelle in Champéry. Since then our chalet offering has expanded and we now have 20 chalets spread across Courchevel, Val d’Isère and St. Anton. Our hotel collection has also grown significantly over the years to include, not only the Alps but also, the Dolomites and Baqueira in the Spanish Pyrenees. Further afield, we first went across the pond back in 1991 with hotels in Jackson Hole and we now cover both sides of Canada, the USA, Chile, New Zealand and Japan. Each destination offers something a bit different and our Ski Consultants can point you in the right direction for what you are after.

OUR SKI PROGRAMME

With over 30 years’ experience under our belt you can trust us to deliver an exceptional ski holiday.

7

There is something really special about the mountains; the sense of space, fresh air and sheer beauty. And there is something really special about a skiing holiday; the thrill of flying down a run, long lazy lunches on a sunny terrace and relaxing at the end of the day by a roaring log fire, rosy cheeked from a day on the slopes. There are lots of ways to do a skiing holiday, be it a fully-staffed chalet, a self-catered apartment, a hotel, a log cabin, heli-skiing or even combining with a city break or time on the beach. It depends what will work best for you.

Our chalets range in style from small and cosy to some of the most magnificent and decadent chalets in the Alps, all offer our renowned service and are set in Val d’Isère, Courchevel and St. Anton. Guests after a little more flexibility in these resorts can choose from our new apartments, Scott Dunn at Six Senses Residences Courchevel, or from our hand-picked selection of hotels and still benefit from extra support from our exclusive resort teams and Scott Dunn childcare.

Beyond our three core resorts, there is so much choice with our collection of hotels across Europe, the Americas and beyond. All can be twinned with other types of holiday, like an adventure into the jungle, enjoying the city lights or kicking back on a sun lounger. It’s our ability to create unique, personalised experiences which makes our holidays a cut above the rest.

SCOTT DUNN CHALET SERVICE

Guests staying in our chalets will be looked after by our teams from the moment they arrive to ensure that every need is taken care of. The service in each chalet is friendly and personal and is key to your holiday, which is why nothing is too much trouble.

Your chef and host are on hand to tend to your every need; preparing breakfast, serving pre-dinner drinks and canapés; and there’s tailor-made menus offering a feast of gourmet delights accompanied by fine wines on six evenings. Your chalet team is supported by your own Chalet Manager and by our resort team, with our Scott Dunn driver service on hand to get you to and from the slopes each day.

FLAGSHIP SERVICE

Flagship is very, very special. It’s the most breathtaking place to stay, the best understated service and the finest attention to detail, giving you the ultimate luxury ski holiday. We offer our Flagship service at Chalet Husky in Val d’Isère and Chalet Artemis in St. Anton.

OUR STAFF

Our professional chalet teams undergo our rigorous selection and training process to ensure that they provide the very ultimate experience for you. We pride ourselves on being flexible and our teams are willing to go the extra mile turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

10

KIDS WITH ALTITUDE

We offer our revered childcare in Val d’Isère, Courchevel and St. Anton for chalet and hotel guests.

11

EXPLORERS KIDS CLUBS

So our guests can enjoy a full day on the slopes, we operate our Scott Dunn Explorers clubs 9am to 5pm, 7 days a week in Val d’Isère and at the brand new Scott Dunn at Six Senses Residences Courchevel. Both are available for kids from 4 months to 13 years. The club at the Residences is also offering Stargazers, where your little ones can be looked after between 7.30pm – 10.30pm, meaning grown-ups can head out for dinner. Over at the Portetta in Courchevel 1650, we have our Mini Explorers club (9am to 5pm, 6 days a week) for children aged 4 months to 7 years, which is exclusively for Scott Dunn guests staying at the hotel. At all three clubs, children are split into age groups and are looked after by fully qualified nannies. From making snowglobes and glitter pictures to penguin models and winter monsters, there’s a chance to be thoroughly creative. When the weather is good, the adventures continue outside with snow angels, tobogganing, a bubble ride to the top of the mountain or perhaps a visit to a local farm. We follow our smallest guests’ routines, making sure they have their afternoon snooze in the dedicated sleep rooms and provide a nutritious lunch for everyone.

For a closer look, please visit: scottdunn.com/winternannies or call 020 8682 5050

PRIVATE NANNIES

If you prefer the idea of a private nanny, our team of carefully selected, UK-qualified nannies provide a welcome extra pair of hands. They will help your children get ready for the day ahead, take older ones to ski school and fill each day with snowy adventures and lots of fun. We offer flexible hours to suit your family and are available for eight hours each day between 8am and 8pm (split into a maximum of two shifts).

12

FOOD WITHTHOUGHT

14

“It’s up to you what you want to eat, from multiple courses of gourmet food to

a simple lasagne and salad, just let us know

what you want.”CARA COMBELLACK, PRODUCT EXECUTIVE

We love food and understand that it’s an integral part of the ski holiday experience. Each year we listen to our guests’ feedback and refine our chalet dining to ensure we provide an all-encompassing offering. For some, this could be beautiful, gourmet meals each night allowing the chef to showcase their love of food using locally sourced ingredients while for others it may be more of a laid back affair: delicious curry on the sofa in front of a movie perhaps or even just a good old homemade lasagne. Flexibility is key - after all it’s your holiday, so if you want to make the most of the après and have a lighter, more casual supper a bit later - we’ll make it happen.

15

For a closer look, please visit: scottdunn.com/chaletfood or call 020 8682 5050

We avoid being too prescriptive about our food as we aim to craft your dining experience around you. Your chalet team will call you before your holiday to chat about your likes and dislikes, so that they can really think about perfecting the menu for your week with us.

16

FLYING CHEFSGuests can choose from a selection of highly-acclaimed chefs to fly

out to their chalet and cook a private dinner.

MONICA GALETTI PIERRE KOFFMANN

17

This winter, we have a new culinary offering called ‘Flying Chefs’, that gives our chalet guests the opportunity to choose from a line-up of high profile chefs, who will fly out to your chalet and cook a private dinner party for you. Guests can choose from one of six highly-acclaimed and revered culinary talents - Monica Galetti, Pierre Koffmann, Alyn Williams, Andrew Wong, Sat Bains and Mauro Colagreco. With respect to the distinct culinary style and identity of each Flying Chef, the experience will be

completely tailored to you, making this a hugely bespoke and decadent dining experience. It is the ultimate way for Scott Dunn guests to celebrate a special occasion, entertain clients or friends or purely enjoy the unique opportunity to watch a top chef close at work, ask some burning questions over a glass of wine and perhaps even receive a short kitchen masterclass. Prices start from £14,000, which includes one lunch or dinner for 8-12 guests.

There’s nothing quite like the first sip of perfectly chilled Laurent-Perrier Champagne after a day’s skiing. And with dinner you can enjoy carefully selected fine wines from around the world. All the wines are selected by our tasting group that includes our Guest Services Manager and Andrew Dunn himself. Since the creation of Scott Dunn, Andrew has been personally involved in making sure that everything we do is of the highest quality, which includes offering only the finest food and wine to our guests. Every year, each wine is tasted and evaluated by this group, the culmination of which is a fine wine menu of superb quality and diversity.

SIPSMITH

Pioneers of the gin revival, Sipsmith was London’s first copper pot distillery for nearly two hundred years, opening its doors in 2009 on a mission to bring back London Dry Gin to the city where it made its name. All Sipsmith spirits are made by hand and in small batches, driven by the belief that this is the only way to craft spirits of such high quality. Sipsmith is served in all of our chalets.

LAURENT-PERRIER

There is nothing more spoiling after a day on the slopes than relaxing by a log fire with a chilled glass of Champagne. Laurent-Perrier Champagnes are deliciously fresh and easy to drink, so the obvious choice for us to serve our chalet guests.

CHRISTMAS IN THE MOUNTAINSThere is nowhere more magical for an unforgettable white Christmas

than one of our chalets, where your chef will prepare a delicious festive treat. Best of all, there’s no washing up.

23

CHRISTMAS WITH SCOTT DUNN

Make Christmas truly magical by spending it in one of our chalets. Our aim is to re-create how you would do Christmas at home with an Alpine setting and a white snowy backdrop. You tell us what you like, what your family traditions are, what makes your Christmas Day special and we’ll make it happen. The atmosphere in the resorts is truly buzzing with Santa processions, fireworks, skiing shows, music and markets. Your chalet is decorated beautifully and little ones are encouraged to decorate more. Your Private Chef will cook up your dream Christmas meal, be it turkey, goose, duck or seafood. There’ll be cocktails, Christmas pudding, a visit from Santa (if you’ve been good), crackers and lots of treats and surprises. All you have to do is sit back, relax and forget about the washing up.

“Picture yourself relaxing in a chalet by a log fire, glass of Laurent-Perrier in hand and snow falling outside.

Your private chef will prepare a gourmet Christmas dinner, exactly how you like it.”

Our Ski Weekends are designed to maximise your time on the slopes with only minimal time out of the office. They run Thursday to Sunday and are ideal for those who love the chalet experience but can only get away for a long weekend or don’t want to take a full week’s holiday.

Nearly every week of the season, we also have chalets available to book by the room in Val d’Isère and St. Anton. Shared chalets are a great solution if you do not have a large enough group to fill a whole chalet. It can also

be a great way to meet other skiers, which is particularly helpful if you are travelling with skiers of differing standards. And don’t worry about privacy, we know how important it is and only select properties that lend themselves to shared bookings; with lots of space and bedrooms big enough that you can relax in.

These options mean everyone can still enjoy the benefits of being in a chalet - a home-from-home with half board, wine and all the little extras that make chalets great value.

SKI WEEKENDS & SHARED CHALETS

For those who only have a few days spare or are too small a group to fill a chalet, our Ski Weekends and shared chalets mean

you can still enjoy the chalet experience.

WE SWEAR BY VAL D’ISERE

The resort is lively and full of energy, brimming with bars, restaurants and shops. Val is home to some of our most impressive chalets,

including one of our flagship chalets, Husky.

31

“WE LOVE VAL D’ISÈRE. WHY? WELL, THERE’S THE AWESOME SKIING - WHICH HAS GOT EVEN BETTER THANKS TO THE NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART SOLAISE GONDOLA WHICH HAS OPENED UP THE MOUNTAIN TO EVEN MORE SKIERS OF ALL LEVELS. THE HUGE VARIETY OF TERRAIN AND HIGH ALTITUDE MEAN IT BENEFITS FROM SOME OF THE BEST SNOW CONDITIONS IN THE ALPS; EARLY AND LATE SEASON SKIING IN VAL IS HARD TO BEAT.”

One of the highest resorts in Europe, with many north facing slopes, extensive terrain and one of the best snow records in Europe with skiing runs from early December to early May. There are some fantastic wide, cruising blue runs at the top of Bellevarde, Solaise and Le Fornet or head over to Tignes and up to the Grande Motte Glacier. Don’t miss the views from the “Up and Over” chair from Le Fornet and La Face is arguably the best steep groomed run in the Alps, but if it’s too daunting or you’ve had too good a lunch, take the lift down!

ALTITUDE 1850m - 3480m.

SKIABLE AREA Espace Killy - 300km including Tignes.

BEST RUN Grand Pré - a dream of a cruiser for intermediates.

EATING & APRÈS Brimming with over 60 restaurants & bars, you are spoilt for choice. Our top picks on the mountains are La Peau de Vache and Edelweiss in Le Fornet.

La Folie Douce & Cocorico are the top après spots in Val - you can either party on the mountain then navigate your way home or get down first for a knees up!

THE DUNN THING Pop into Maison Chevallot for a pastry or a cake - total heaven for an après-ski treat.

FAMILY Your little ones will love all the activities on offer at our exclusive Explorers kids club while older ones will be flying around the slopes during the day. Savour hot chocolates in town, enjoy a ride on the carousel or burn off excess energy in the Centre Aquasportif with its large swimming pool, climbing wall, golf simulator and squash courts.

CHILDCARE Scott Dunn Explorers kids club or Scott Dunn Private Nannies.

SKI SCHOOLS Oxygène and the British-run Progression are our recommendations for top level instruction.

GETTING THERE 2½ hours transfer time from Geneva by road.

Opt for a helicopter transfer to cut the journey time and arrive in style.

OUR EXPLORERS KIDS CLUB IN VAL

Relax and enjoy the slopes safe in the knowledge that your children are having the time of their lives.

“Our new Ski Explorers is the perfect introduction to skiing for little ones.”

KIRSTY EDWARDS, SKI PRODUCT MANAGER

33

Our Val d’Isère club is set in a fabulous, purpose-built facility, with lots of space and brimming with toys, games and books. Located in the centre of the resort, it is perfectly placed for all our chalet and hotel guests, who have exclusive access to the club. We also operate a nanny driver service to pick up and drop off younger guests, to make parents’ lives even easier. Many children will be having lessons, so we can also pick them up from ski school and bring them back to the kids club for the afternoon. Each day is filled with fun and stimulating activities, often with a theme. When the weather is good, we venture outside for some exploring in the snow or sledging and older ones might go ice skating. For some down time, there’s a dedicated sleep room for our youngest guests and a chill-out room for the older children. To keep everyone fuelled, our nannies prepare home cooked, heart-warming lunches each day and can cater for any individual tastes and allergies your child may have.

This season, our new Ski Explorers sessions gives 3 and 4 year olds the chance to enjoy their first experience on skis. It’s part of the Explorers programme and the perfect introduction for little ones, with the emphasis very much on having fun on the slopes.

CHIC COURCHEVEL

As part of the biggest interconnected ski area in the world, there are so many fantastic slopes to explore and the freedom to pop over to Méribel,

Val Thorens or the charming St Martin de Belleville for lunch.

61

“IN THE HEART OF THE THREE VALLEYS, COURCHEVEL HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF WELL-GROOMED PISTES, GORGEOUS MOUNTAIN RESTAURANTS AND BREATHTAKING VIEWS, MAKING IT A SHEER JOY TO SKI. FOR US, COURCHEVEL IS SKIING HEAVEN AND THE VARIED TERRAIN MEANS YOU CAN FIND SLOPES AS EASY OR CHALLENGING AS YOU WANT.”

THE SKIING A skier’s dream. Easy runs close to the village, steeper runs and plenty of off-piste terrain further up the mountain plus a wealth of confidence-boosting blue and red runs make the resort area great for skiers of all levels. With such a wealth of pistes there’s always a hidden gem to head to when the slopes get busier during the holidays.

ALTITUDE - BASE TO SUMMIT 1850m - 2738m.

SKIABLE AREA Three Valleys 600km including Méribel and Val Thorens.

BEST RUN Chapelets - feels as if you’ve escaped the pistes, the scenery is stunning and if you head here early in the day, the snow is heavenly.

EATING & THE APRÈS Although Courchevel is home to an impressive eleven Michelin stars, there are plenty of other gems including Le Chabotté (at Le Chabichou) which serves a great bistro-style menu at lunch. Our top pick on the slopes is La Cave des Creux, perched at 2112m, run by two local ski instructors serving delicious food, with a gentle ski back to the resort. Après is lively and fun, we like to head to Cap Horn where a DJ plays in a piste basher!

THE DUNN THING Opt for the Plantrey chairlift first thing in the morning - you’ll rarely have to queue and the run down is a wonderful, fast blue - great for warming up the legs.

WHY WE LOVE ST.ANTONSt. Anton has such a great variety of skiing, excellent snow record,

delicious food and, of course, the legendary après.

79

“I OFTEN HAVE A GUIDE TAKE ME TO THE POCKETS OF POWDER THAT ONLY THE LOCALS KNOW ABOUT. AS A FAMILY WE LOVE SKIING ON THE RENDL SIDE WHICH HAS SOME LOVELY BLUES, OFTEN STOPPING TO SIT IN THE SUN WITH A COLD BEER AT RENDL BEACH. THE NEW LINK TO LECH HAS MADE GETTING OVER THERE SUPER EASY.”

THE SKIING There’s some pretty serious terrain in St. Anton, which puts it up there as one of the world’s best ski destinations. Hardcore skiers will be in total heaven but there’s also plenty to keep the more leisurely skier occupied with some lovely long descents. It’s well worth heading over to Lech and Zurs to really get the most out of this extensive ski area.

ALTITUDE 1340m - 2811m.

SKIABLE AREA Ski Arlberg - 280km including Lech, Zurs and St Christoph.

BEST RUN Over 1000m of exhilarating and thigh burning descent from the top of Valluga to Alpe Rauz. Red 14 into Blue 17 is a non-stop carving thriller and will quite literally leave you breathless.

EATING & THE APRÈS There is a good selection of options both on and off the mountain serving some fantastic local Tyrolean specialities. Our favourites include the Rodel-Alm (order the Schweinshaxe) and of course the Hospiz Alm in St Christoph with its incredible wine cellar. For après it has to be the Krazy Kanguruh or the legendary Mooserwirt - prepare to dance in your ski boots.

THE DUNN THING The Rendl area is often quieter, with some great skiing for both intermediates and some epic off-piste. When the sun’s out head to Rendl Beach and grab a cold beer and catch some rays from the comfort of a deckchair.

FAMILY St. Anton is best suited to families with kids of ski school age or families with older children. The Nasserein area has some lovely gentle slopes for beginners. The action continues off the slopes with a superb indoor climbing centre, with bowling, tennis and swimming also available.

CHILDCARE Scott Dunn Private Nannies.

SKI SCHOOLS British-run New Generation is our top pick for private and group lessons. Take a guide from Piste to Powder to experience the fabulous off-piste skiing St. Anton is renowned for.

GETTING THERE 1 hour transfer time from Innsbruck and 2½ hours from Zurich by road.

Michelin starred restaurants.

HOTEL PICKS

Héliopic and Hotel Mont Blanc.

INSIDER TIP

If it’s your first time to Chamonix, we strongly recommend taking a guide to help you get to grips with everything that this world class resort has to offer.

OVERVIEW

Steeped in alpine history, Chamonix is one of the most widely known ski resorts in the world. The undisputed mountain capital of the Alps and host of the inaugural Winter Olympics back in 1924 - Chamonix is a mecca for anyone who loves the mountains. The town has a permanent buzz to it as leisure skiers rub shoulders with freeriders yet there’s a real cosmopolitan vibe in the multitude of shops, bars and restaurants. The skiing is spread out up the Chamonix valley but easy to get your head round, particularly if you take a guide.

OVERVIEW

A super chic resort with a real French feel to it, Megève is a charming village and home to some of the prettiest skiing in the Alps, with its beautiful, bowl-like setting beneath Mont Blanc.

There are a smaller number of great eateries in Lech compared

with other Alpine resorts; however it’s more about the quality not the

quantity. Our favourite spots on the slopes are ‘Skihütte Schneggarei’

with its delicious homemade pizzas (great for families) or for proper Austrian hospitality and cuisine,

Rud-Alpe. In the village, many of the best restaurants are located in

the hotels, however if you’re looking for a cool, contemporary vibe, Fux

offers fantastic Asian fusion dishes.

HOTEL PICKS

NORTH AMERICA

119

We have travelled all over the USA and Canada seeking the most breathtaking skiing, the most stylish hotels and private lodges with faultless service and the ultimate experiences to create your perfect North American ski holiday. There is so much to offer to both skiers and snowboarders across the pond, whatever their standard, and we have an extensive programme in both the US and Canada because the ski experience is so different in each place. The snow record speaks for itself and for most, this alone is a good enough reason to go. The enthusiasm and dedication to service by the Americans and Canadians also make going there such a pleasure. English-speaking ski instructors will make your day, lift queues are minimal and the ski runs are prepared with a fanaticism that borders on obsession. Above all though, skiing here is friendly and everyone you encounter, from your fellow chairlift passengers to your waiter, genuinely wants you to have a great stay.

OVERVIEW

Most skiers have heard of Whistler Blackcomb. Consistently voted the best ski resort in North America and host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, it is home to some incredible ski terrain spread across the colossal Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. However, it’s not just the jaw-droppingly great skiing that makes Whistler so fantastic: it’s a lively village, packed with things to do both on and off the snow and it’s incredibly family-friendly. From ziplining to snow tubing, heli-skiing to snowmobiling, it’s an adventure playground.

Nita Lake Lodge

THE SKIING

675m - 2284m with skiing across Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.

Beano’s cabin for a cosy evening dinner by sleighride.

HOTEL PICKS

Lodge at Vail, Game Creek, The Sebastian, Park Hyatt and Ritz Carlton.

INSIDER TIP

In Vail don’t miss Adventure Ridge at the top of Eagle Bahn - total heaven for families with tubing, kids’ snowmobiles, zip lining and even ski biking!

OVERVIEW

As the largest ski area in the US, Vail offers an enormous amount of beautifully groomed slopes, some excellent powder and a seemingly endless number of bluebird days. Vail’s sister resort Beaver Creek is a superb family destination with an apparently limitless supply of groomers that will have everyone whooping with delight from top to bottom. Advanced skiers can tackle the fearsome ‘Birds of Prey’ downhill course and the steeps and deeps on Grouse Mountain.

INSIDER TIP

Aspen Highlands includes the famous Highland Bowl, which, after a short hike, gives you access to some awesome powder, a must for those in search of fresh tracks... aren’t we all!

OVERVIEW

As a town first and foremost and a ski resort second, Aspen is full of character and culture with a reputation as both a great ski town and a magnet for the wealthy and famous. The skiing is divided between four mountains - beginners and intermediates ideally should head for Buttermilk and Snowmass, while more advanced skiers will love the leg burningly long groomers and more challenging glades between the aspens and evergreens on Aspen mountain. The locals’ favourite is Aspen Highlands, where the most demanding terrain is to be found at the top of the mountain.

HOTEL PICKS

INSIDER TIP

Tuck into some chocolate chip waffles at the top of the Aerial Tram, then watch the nutters leaping into Corbett’s Couloir!

OVERVIEW

If you’re a serious skier, Jackson Hole really should be on your bucket list, with its record-breaking snowfall and steep terrain. That’s not to say that it’s purely for experts - nearly half the terrain is perfectly suitable for intermediates, but it’s not the right resort for beginners. Jackson is a proper cowboy town with bags of character. The skiing is a 20-minute drive away at Teton Village and you can choose to either base yourself here, at the foot of the mountain or in the heart of Jackson. For an extra touch of adventure, a trip to Yellowstone National Park should not be missed.

THE SKIING

1924m - 3185m Rendezvous and Après Vous mountains with

alternative passes available for Grand Targhee and Snow King Mountain.

Already renowned as having ‘the greatest’ snow on Earth, the terrain for skiers of all abilities is mammoth, the equivalent of 5530 football fields!

We recommend first spending a few days at nearby Sundance Mountain Resort - a small and beautiful resort owned by Robert Redford.

OVERVIEW

A separate but neighbouring resort to Park City, Deer Valley is a more sophisticated resort and home to the most luxurious properties. A large part of its appeal is that the number of skiers on the mountain is carefully monitored and controlled to avoid overcrowding. Deer Valley is renowned for its commitment and focus on service to offer the very best guest experience at every turn. We love everything about Stein Eriksen Lodge - it’s one of the most outstanding ski properties in all of North America with faultless service.

Montage

THE SKIING

2003m - 2917m. 2026 acres of ski terrain. The mountain is dedicated to skiers only so no snowboarders are

allowed here.

The resorts of Portillo and Valle Nevado are both just a few hours’ drive from Santiago airport and with the direct British Airways flight to Santiago, reaching these beautiful resorts in the majestic Andes is relatively easy. In Portillo, Hotel Portillo is ideal for families, there’s a cinema and games room, an outdoor pool and childcare and children’s ski lessons are available. In Valle Nevado we recommend staying at Valle Nevado or Puerta del Sol, the resort is great for guests who want to ski a big area, as there are three resorts which link together and there’s a good selection of mountain restaurants. The season runs from June to September with July and August being the best months, but it’s best to avoid the Chilean school holidays which run for two weeks in mid-July. For those looking to combine time on the slopes with something else, the Andes can be combined with Brazil if you want to hit the beach or the Atacama Desert for some adventure.

SPICE IT UP IN CHILE

Home to arguably the lightest, coldest and deepest snow on the planet, Japan is a nirvana for anyone who loves skiing in powder. The backcountry here is unlike anywhere else, which is why powder addicts are heading to Japan in their droves to experience this snow-topia. And when you combine amazing skiing with the incredible culture, food and landscapes that Japan is renowned for, it leads to a truly extraordinary holiday.

Our ski programme in Japan focuses on the resort of Niseko on the island of Hokkaido in the north - perhaps the most widely known of all the Japanese ski resorts. The skiing is spread across four resorts on one mountain, Niseko Annupuri.

Believing that you need to be an expert skier to go heli-skiing is a complete myth. Yes, you do need to be able to ski a European red run confidently in any condition, but that’s essentially it. Everyone who really loves skiing ought to try heli-skiing at least once in their lifetime; it offers the chance to glide through blankets of pristine powder leaving perfect fresh tracks. We have carefully selected our heli-ski partners to focus on those who offer small groups. With Bella Coola Heli-skiing, a direct flight from Vancouver means that you can start skiing before you’ve even unpacked your bag. Meanwhile, Last Frontier Heli-skiing has fast access to the largest single heli-ski area in Canada.

Spending time in the mountains doesn’t just have to be confined to the winter months. In fact, the Alps are arguably at their most spectacular during the summer when the snow-capped peaks and lush green valleys below provide a stunning and contrasting landscape. Warm temperatures during the day and cool nights make for the perfect climate as well. There’s endless activities to enjoy, from white-water rafting and canyoning to lake-swimming and mountain biking.

151

Alps, EUROPE

The mountains provide an extensive playground during the summer - ideal for anyone looking to be active and try new adventures and experiences. There’s canyoning, white-water rafting and rock climbing in Chamonix or Megève with Mont Blanc as your backdrop, or set off on two wheels e-biking or mountain biking in the Dolomites, stopping off to take in the views in a mountain top rifugio. Or you may prefer to simply pull on a pair of boots and go hiking to explore the sheer beauty of your stunning surroundings, enjoying the fresh mountain air along the way.

152

For our chalet guests, we partner with British Airways to ensure that your flight is enjoyable and comfortable. The experience is understated British elegance and, as a long-established airline, they are committed to providing the highest standards. If you are staying in one of our chalets, you will be met at the airport by one of our Scott Dunn team before boarding a coach up to your resort. We fully appreciate that the journey to your chalet can sometimes be long, which is why we make it as comfortable as possible for you. We provide picnics, plenty of refreshments and on board facilities. Our coaches are never full so there is plenty of room to stretch out. Of course, we can organise a private transfer if you prefer. If you are staying in one of our luxury ski hotels, we will arrange a private transfer for you at the time of booking. Or, to kick off your holiday in real style, take a helicopter to your resort.
