For everything that you need to know about planning the most amazing luxury break, keep reading.
Select the perfect location and resort
First things first, you need to pick the perfect location and resort. Where you choose to go is up to you – each resort and location offer very different experiences. The best skiing locations, however, tend to be Colorado and The French Alps. These two locations have some amazing skiing areas and resorts. In the French Alps, the Purple Ski resort in Maribel is one of the best. While in Colorado, Breckenridge Resort is one of the best skiing facilities.
When it comes to picking a resort, various factors should be taken into account. For instance, for a luxury skiing break, it’s important to think about the on-site facilities that you want. For a true luxury experience, look for a resort that hosts an on-site spa and plenty of restaurants for fine dining. It’s also important to pick a resort that has slopes suitable for your skiing abilities, else you won’t be able to enjoy your time away.
Book your flights and transfers
What’s a luxury trip without first class plane tickets? If possible, opt to book first class air travel. This will not only make your travel time more enjoyable but also more relaxing. First class tickets may be more expensive, but the perks that come with them are more than worth the cost. Think big, comfortable seats, free wine, and access to the prestigious first class flight lounge.
Instead of opting for shared transfers, pay for a private one. This will not only cut the time of your transfers down as you won’t be going from place to place dropping and picking people up. It will also make your travel more enjoyable.
Pick your accommodation
For a luxury skiing trip, you have a range of accommodation options. The first is staying in a hotel – this means that all your meals will be cooked for you, and you will have access to a range of facilities. However, if you’re going to be skiing for longer than a weekend, a hotel room may be a little too cramped.
Instead, a chalet may be a better option. That way you’ll have more space, as well as more privacy. If for example, you opt to ski in Purple Ski Resort in The French Alps, the Meribel catered chalets would be perfect for you. A catered chalet gives you your own space but the luxury of having someone to cook and clean for you. You may even be able to ask for a chalet with a private hot tub or sauna – what’s more luxurious than that? Best of all, if you split the cost with a few travel buddies, it doesn’t have to unaffordable.
Book your equipment and ski passes in advance
Unless you want to spend hours queuing for your equipment and passes on the day you arrive, book in advance. Have a look online and see what the options are – there may be an option that gives you ski lift queue jump. There may also be other extras you can add on to enhance your skiing experience and make it more luxurious.
For a break that’s fun and relaxing, a skiing trip could be perfect. Have you skied this season?
