Catered chalet ski weeks in the Three Valleys and the Grand Domaine. Snow-sure, door-to-lift, family-run since 2001.
Our ski holidays run from catered chalets in three of the best-connected resorts in France: Val Thorens and Meribel in the Three Valleys, and Vaujany in the Grand Domaine above Alpe d’Huez. Each chalet is picked for door-to-lift access, a good breakfast, proper catered suppers and the kind of in-resort team that makes the week run well.
Val Thorens sits at 2300m and opens in late November, making it one of the most snow-sure resorts in Europe. Meribel gives you the full Three Valleys network at 250km of pistes. Vaujany is quieter, family-friendly and has a cable-car direct to the Alpe d’Huez area with lifts into the Sarenne glacier.
Weeks include transfers from Grenoble, Chambery or Geneva, your lift pass, catered breakfasts, afternoon tea and chalet suppers four nights a week, and an in-resort team to sort anything that comes up. Ski hire and lessons are easy add-ons through our local partners.
We've been running ski holidays from South Devon since 2001. Talk to the team on 01548 288459 and we’ll match you to the right resort: Val Thorens for snow-sure lift access, Meribel for the full Three Valleys, Vaujany for a quieter family week.
Every holiday below includes skiing as part of the week. Kit, tuition and a coach on hand, no extras billed at check-out.
Each location is picked for the thing that makes it work. Wind, sheltered water, altitude, snow.
One of the best beach holidays I have had for many years. My son and I have a regular annual sailing holiday and this was superb. The place is extremely well managed by Hugo and Local Greek family and it really does feel like you are staying with friends, highly recommended
Just returned from another learn to sail, excellent tuition from Shirley ,used this company for many years now and always a good experience. Hope to return next year for yacht delivery and a flotilla.
Wonderful holiday in a beautiful location.Friendly, competent staff, many activities on offer, very good safety support for all water sports. Would love to see Optimists introduced for younger children learning to sail!
Call the team on 01548 288459 Mon-Fri 9am-6pm or Sat 9am-1pm, or send an enquiry from any holiday page. We talk you through availability, dates and extras, email a written quote, and you confirm with a deposit. No online cart , every booking has a human on our side of it.
Deposits are typically 25% of the holiday cost at time of booking, with the balance due around ten weeks before departure. Flights pay in full at booking. Your written quote spells out the exact figures and dates before you pay anything.
Flights are quoted alongside the holiday rather than bundled, so you only pay for the routing that works for you. We'll match flights to your preferred dates from your preferred UK airport, or if you'd rather book your own flights we can work around your schedule.
Yes. Our weeks run Saturday to Saturday by default but we can extend, combine two weeks back-to-back (flotilla followed by a beach-club week is a favourite), or add a pre- or post-holiday night somewhere. Mention it when you enquire and we will build the itinerary.
UK debit and credit card (no surcharge on debit), bank transfer, or Trust My Travel for protected payments. We do not accept cash. Card payments are processed by Stripe and never stored by us.
Yes, and we rarely charge for it if there is time before departure. Name changes, room upgrades, adding a child, swapping a cabin , tell us what you need. Some supplier charges (flight name changes, for example) are unavoidable but we'll quote those upfront.
Yes, and families are a big part of what we do. Beach clubs have free kids watersports from age six, the Alpine Family Club runs a kids club from 6 months to 16 years, and ski school programmes teach in English from age three. Cots, high chairs and interconnecting rooms are available on request.
Absolutely. Singles Sailing is purpose-built for solo travellers (no single supplement , you'll share a cabin with another solo sailor). On beach club weeks, yoga and BlitzFitness are especially popular with solo bookers, and we waive the single supplement on most weeks outside July and August school holidays.
Yes. Intro to Sailing is designed for complete beginners , no experience needed. Every beach club has coached clinics included daily and RYA-qualified instruction at the watersports centre. Ski school teaches English from Day One green-runs up. We'll match you to the right level on arrival.
Yes. West Coast Flotilla and Yacht Charter are aimed squarely at sailors with miles under the keel. Val Thorens and the Three Valleys cover expert-level off-piste with a guide. We'll discuss your experience at the quote stage so the week matches your expectations.
No. Our clubs are all-inclusive but not all-you-can-eat , a lot of guests use one activity a day and spend the rest of the time reading by the pool. The programme is a menu, not a timetable. You decide what you do.
Yes. We pre-book English-speaking group or private lessons at your chosen resort based on your ability (and the ability of anyone you're travelling with). Lessons are not bundled into the holiday price because the right level changes per person.
Every person in our South Devon office has stayed at the holiday you're looking at. Ask anything: which week is best, what to pack, which flight saves you a connection.
No call centres, no scripts, no upsell. Just honest advice from people who genuinely run these holidays.
