About Us
Who We Are
When it comes to finding the ideal holiday we are the best ski chalet company in the UK. Of course we are going to say that but we truly believe that the breadth and depth of our product, and the knowledge of that product (we have been doing this since 1992 after all) is the best there is. We also understand that customer service is all about 'after sales' care rather than the initial sale. We invite you to make use of our concierge service to find out for yourself.
We are a dedicated, professional team of expert skiers and boarders. This specialist team, hand picked by Earl & Simon (who have been in the ski holiday industry since 1987) has gained a vast amount of knowledge through first-hand skiing experience. Our team have all worked at least one winter season in the mountains (most have done two or three or more seasons) and each winter they visit resorts, chalets and hotels to keep up to date with developments. Collectively we know the Alps and North America better than anyone on the planet. We've booked tens of thousands of ski holidays and will probably know your next trip's needs even before you do! We are constantly in touch with all the ski tour operators and pride ourselves on staying on top of the market...

Your Financial Security
Unfortunately the travel industry has more than its fair share of players that operate outside the boundaries of expected ethical business practice. Given that the contractual obligations surrounding a holiday booking involve clients paying considerable sums of money for products they will not see for many months this is hardly surprising. For your peace of mind we are members of ABTA and also hold an ATOL licence.
ABTA, the Travel Association, was first set up in 1950 to protect the interests of paying clients and to provide travel companies with an ethical code of conduct (see below). We are proud to say that we have been members of ABTA ever since we fist started in 1992.
For details of how your money is protected please see our financial bonding page.
