High altitude corporate ski trips

Corporate ski trip planners require nerves of steel – company ski trip success is heavily influenced by snow conditions, which means getting the destination right. In the Alps, height usually translates to snow.

Snow on the peaks, but also the lower slopes, the trees and hotel roofs - that’s the alpine scene that should be greeting those on a corporate ski trip.

Sometimes high-altitude skiing is remote from the airport, sometimes it is distant from the charm and life of a village centre. But many high-altitude ski resorts are easy to reach and offer a lively atmosphere for visiting groups.

Higher resorts offer both snow security and extended season dates. This brings (pre-)Christmas parties and late-spring corporate ski trips into the equation.

REASONS WHY HEIGHT MATTERS

SNOW SECURITY

In general, high-altitude slopes mean colder temperatures. That is an essential factor in a warming world – the higher elevations generally offer greater snow security.

EARLY OR LATE SEASON SKIING

Higher slopes offer the chance for early or late-season corporate ski trips, avoiding the crowds and getting the best options and value for money. Many winters deliver the best conditions in April, on the higher slopes.

VERTICAL

Many high-altitude ski areas offer extensive vertical drop between their peaks and villages. There is no greater pleasure than a never-ending peak to resort route.
