Christmas in the Lap of Luxury!

My good lady wife, Louise, can be tempted away from home at Christmas but she has conditions; we have to stay in a catered chalet and it has to offer the very highest standard of accommodation because “why would we want to spend money staying somewhere that is not as nice as our own home?” […]

Our Ski Chalets with Hot Tubs & Jacuzzis

It was back at the beginning of the 20th century that modern skiing really took off.

Today’s skier, […]

When's the best time to go on a ski holiday in Europe?

When you first see those peaks rise on the horizon like a cluster of skyscrapers you get the sense, almost immediately, that the mountains are a magical place: mesmerising scenery, fresh air and, my favourite: a silence that seems unachievable elsewhere. Summer is lovely with its colours and its life and its sunshine but winter […]

What do I need to pack for a ski holiday?

In reading this guide, it is worth bearing in mind that I travel light; I don’t like paying for extra luggage on the plane and I hate carrying piles of suitcases while schlepping through the airport sweating (because I am wearing my week’s clothing) while my kids try and climb on every static object.

The snow is all around but the roaring fire and chinchilla-fur rugs keep the occupants warm and cozy while the discreet serving […]
