Accommodation: Booking a Luxury Ski Chalet<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First on your ski holiday checklist has to be where to stay. When it comes to booking a luxury ski chalet, it’s all about finding the perfect home-from-home, with a little extra magic.

\"Mercedes-Benz<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From airport transfers to getting around the resort, suitable vehicles and transport options are essential. Planning the best luxury ski transfers to make your trip as easy as can be is important to do in advance! When it comes to airport transfers, there are a huge range of companies at your disposal. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with choices, Ski-Lifts<\/a> has over 15 years of experience in the industry, serving 200+ destinations.

Planning to Ski: Lessons, Guides, and <\/a>Equipment<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Adults<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lessons and Guides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First time skiing? New to the area? Just looking for a knowledgable ski buddy for bluebird off-piste days? One of our top luxury ski holiday tips has to be to book ski lessons in the Alps in advance. No matter your ability, expert guides and\/or instructors are a great addition to your ski holiday checklist. For example, Oxyg\u00e8ne Ski & Snowboard School<\/a> live and breathe the mountains. Offering private or group lessons for clients looking to experience a luxury ski holiday in the French Alps<\/a>, this company can provide instructors in a variety of languages to help bring your skills to the next level. They also provide adaptive ski lessons<\/a>, for a range of physical impairments, from visual to mobility-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another ski school offering adaptive lessons and standard lessons, based across Europe including France, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria, is Maison Sport<\/a>. Their technical experience can help you advance your skiing and snowboarding ability, whether on\/off-piste, or ski touring across the mountains! Also with business crossing the Alps is New Generation Ski School<\/a>, with lessons delivered since 1998. They even offer courses and tips for nervous skiers<\/a> to help you build confidence on the mountain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment Hire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But, before you even set foot on the snow, you’ll need the right kit. When organising a ski holiday, think ahead for equipment; boots, skis or snowboards, poles, helmets… all your gear can be ready for your arrival! In fact, the concierge teams for some luxury chalets can arrange delivery of items straight to your door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aforementioned Oxyg\u00e8ne<\/a> are not just a ski school. They also offer ski hire on top of their ski lesson services in a selection of their resorts; Serre Chevalier, La Plagne, Tignes, and Val d’Is\u00e8re. Find high-level gear for a range of abilities, and start your holiday out on the right ski! Whether your fitting is in-store, or in the comfort of your luxury chalet, you can trust that they will provide top-class service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, White Storm<\/a> is known for providing top-class fittings across multiple resorts in the French Alps, kitting you out for a day of exploring the majesty of the mountains. If you’re not sure what you need, worry not! The expertise of the team at White Storm matches the impeccable quality of the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slope Style: Ski Clothing Hire for the Perfect Outfit<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cirkel<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The mountains are full of fashion and flare. From the glitz of St. Moritz<\/a>, to the loud and proud Folie Douce apr\u00e8s-ski<\/a> outfits, clothing can make a statement in ski resorts. But it’s not all about style; it’s also about practicality, comfort, and safety. You’ll be wearing these clothes all day on the mountain, so you need to be comfortable, warm, and have plenty of space for all your extra items. Of course, you want to keep up with the latest ski fashion trends. But for a week or two, it seems counter-intuitive to buy a new outfit for every season. So, why not choose the sustainable option, and rent the hottest slope style outfits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands such as Cirkel Supply<\/a> offer exactly this: an eco-conscious ski holiday option for designer ski clothing hire. Find everything from salopettes to gloves, and even kids outfits! Their premium skiwear rentals provide winter outerwear that looks good and feels good, with new, varied styles every season. And rest assured that every item is professionally cleaned for that fresh-out-the-box feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cirkel Supply can deliver straight to your chalet door, for groups skiing in the Swiss Alps. But, if you\u2019re arriving to and leaving from Geneva or Zurich airports before skiing in neighbouring countries, then there are alternative delivery solutions available; just get in touch with Cirkel Supply<\/a> with your itinerary! So, save on luggage space and leave room for boutique shopping in the Alps this winter by ticking off ski clothing rental from your ski holiday checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
