A ski holiday in the French Alps is about more than skiing. With Peak Retreats, guests can make their trip even more memorable by pre-booking a range of exciting activities before they travel. This means everything is organised in advance, leaving more time to relax and enjoy the mountains.

Guests can explore snowy landscapes on snowshoe walks in resorts such as Montgenèvre and Les Menuires, or combine an evening snowshoe trek with a fondue in a wigwam. Families and groups love the fun of Snake Gliss in La Rosière, where sledges link together for an exhilarating ride down the slopes, or try something new with a Yooner, a hybrid sledge that carves turns like skis.

For those seeking adventure, paragliding in Tignes or Val Thorens offers breathtaking views of the Alps from above. In selected resorts, guests can also book biathlon lessons, combining Nordic skiing with laser rifle shooting, or even off-piste skiing sessions with expert instructors for a safe and thrilling experience. For something truly memorable, for winter holidays to Tignes, you can book an evening in a Mongolian yurt, complete with a Savoyard meal and a sledge ride back to the resort.

Pre-booking ensures availability and avoids queues, so guests can relax knowing everything is taken care of. These activities are available in selected resorts, including Montgenèvre, Tignes, La Rosière, Val Thorens, Les Menuires and Samoëns.
