This ski journey is a deep dive into the heart of the Western Alps, linking some of the region’s most celebrated resorts over five varied days on snow! Each day brings a new destination, new terrain, and a fresh mountain backdrop, from high-altitude glaciers to wide-open pistes and forest-lined runs. Designed to be flexible and welcoming, the program adapts to different skiing styles and conditions. With transfers, lift passes, and accommodation all arranged, the focus stays where it belongs—on skiing well, exploring more, and enjoying life in the Alps.
Arrive in Aosta and settle into our 4-star hotel in the heart of the city. The day is intentionally relaxed, giving us time to explore the historic center, rent any necessary ski equipment, or simply enjoy the comforts of the hotel. In the afternoon, we’ll all meet together for a welcome aperitivo. During this informal briefing, we review the week ahead, discuss weather and snow conditions, and agree on the departure time and plan for the following day.
