WINTER RETREATS

A group of skiers standing together on a snowy mountain slope, dressed in colourful ski gear under bright sunshine. Snow-covered trees and rugged alpine peaks rise behind them against a clear blue sky.

Whether you are coming solo or with friends, our winter retreats are designed for women who want to balance time on the slopes with community, food, and relaxation. Every detail is considered (you'll even get a cup of tea brought to you each morning!) and every ability level is catered for.

The Winter season runs from January to March, and each retreat is 4 nights.

DAY ONE

Arrival is in the afternoon, allowing time for you to enjoy the chalet’s facilities, settle into your room and try on your equipment.

DAYS TWO, THREE & FOUR

Ski or snowboarding tuition will be provided in the mornings, in small groups. After a lovely lunch on the mountains, the afternoons can be spent as you desire - either on the mountain, or back at Chalet Mélèzes to enjoy our sumptuous spa facilities. There is a daily yoga class in the afternoons to ease those tired legs.

DAY FIVE

There will be an optional transfer to the airport for those that would like to depart in the morning after breakfast, or you can have a day to yourself. Maybe spend time exploring Chamonix town or indulge in a spa treatment at the chalet. We can help with arrangements for more skiing or even paraparenting for those who are looking for a more adrenaline-fuelled experience.

There will be another transfer to Geneva Airport for departures in the late afternoon or early evening.

What our guests have to say...

Two skiers posing happily on a snowy slope surrounded by snow-covered trees and mountains. One wears a red jacket and navy trousers, the other a white and black ski outfit, both smiling with arms raised and ski poles in hand.

"The whole trip from start to finish was simply amazing. Laura was a wonderful host, the accommodation amazing and the activities well organised. We were treated to fantastic food and stunning views. I travelled alone and was very nervous but had no need to be. The women I met were so lovely and we are all staying in touch. If you are thinking about it just do it!"
