Itinerary

Saturday – arrival day

Awaiting you at the airport will be one of the SIC team to whisk you off through Europe's Highest mountain pass to Serre Chevalier and your award winning chalet where you will be greeted with Champagne and canapés. Now some time to unpack and try on any hire gear you pre ordered (already for you in the chalet so no queuing in the hire shop) before your delicious four course evening meal with UNLIMITED bottled wine. 

Sunday– ½ day Serre Chevalier 

Now it’s time to hit the slopes, you will be shuttled in SIC’s private minibus to one of Serre Chevaliers four resorts to spend the morning with your very own professional guide. Your guide will show you the best pistes and help you iron out any kinks in your technique. During the afternoon you are on your own to fully get those legs prepared for tomorrows off piste shenanigans. Returning to the chalet you will be greeted with a delicious mug of vin chaud, a crackling log fire and freshly baked afternoon tea. A bit of relaxing then its dinner time again. mmmmmmmm 

Monday – full day Serre Chevalier - off piste

Now you have had your warm up day now it’s time to experience some of Serre Chevalier’s world famous off piste. Your guide will take you to some truly unspoilt spots around the mountain suitable for all abilities. There are huge amounts of off-piste terrain throughout the area – both high-up and in the trees. Again its back to the chalet at the end of the day for afternoon tea, a rest and then your expertly prepared four course evening meal.

Tuesday – full day Puy St Vincent/Montgenevre  

Dependent on the weather you will either be whisked off to Puy St Vincent or Montgenevre for a guided day of exploring both on and off piste. Montgenevre offers you the chance to pop into Italy for a Cappuccino whilst experiencing one of France's oldest resorts, high altitude skiing and great slopes. Puy St Vincent is known as one of France's best kept secrets, famed for its quiet slopes and stunning scenery PSV offers panoramic views of France's largest national park “les Ecrins”. After yet another exhilarating day on the slopes you’ve earned your vin chaud so it’s off back to the chalet to get you fed and watered.

Wednesday – day off

It’s a day off for everyone; you will be left to fend for your selves for the day. A day cruising the slopes in Serre Chevalier awaits you but no guiding it’s time for you to hone in what you’ve learnt and explore .You’re SIC staff will pre book you a restaurant for your evening meal and a buffet style breakfast will be left out.

Thursday – full day La Grave 

After your well-earned day off you will be heading to La Grave for the chance to ski one of the world’s most notorious off piste ski areas. Weather dependant you will either have your guide with you or a trained mountain guide familiar with the area. La Grave attracts some of the world’s best off piste skiers and with a vertical drop of 2100m it is often perceived as exclusive to experts. Rest assured your guide has been keeping an eye on you and knows if you are up to the challenge and also knows a few cheeky mellower slopes to take. Its definitely one for the bucket list.  

Friday – spa day

Those bones may be starting to feel a bit sore after your day in La Grave so today you can take it as easy as you like. Make your way across Serre Chevalier to Monetier (the 4th resort) where you are met by a SIC team member who has all your swimming/spa equipment. The spa includes a large public swimming pool with Jacuzzi, underwater massage zone and micro bubble zone. Also available and in keeping with the roman bathing traditions is a frigidarium, tepidarium and caldarium.
