A week’s Ski Holiday in Zermatt and Verbier

By David Froom | Published: March 25, 2010

Having worked in the ski industry since 2004, I’ve seen a lot of resorts. In fact, until last week there were only 2 major resorts in our programme that I had never visited. I won’t tell you which one I’m still to experience, but Zermatt has now been ticked off the to-do list. The only question I was asking myself is why has it taken me until the age of 30 to get out there?

Nightlife and skiing in St Anton

By Chris Callaghan | Published: March 23, 2010

BA cabin crew strike

By David Froom | Published: March 12, 2010

We are extremely disappointed that Unite, the union that represents the majority of British Airways (BA) cabin crew, has announced that it intends to take strike action.

We are currently considering our response to this strike threat and what action we will need to take to minimise disruption. All our flights are operating normally at the moment.

We will be updating this page with further details as soon as it is available.

Skiing in Chamonix

By Niall | Published: March 10, 2010

Chamonix. The name itself rings all the superlatives; the highest lift, the longest off-piste run and the most awe inspiring views the Alps have to offer. A Mecca too for the extreme off-pisters…but is this all this resort can offer? I think not; I think this is a ‘must –ski’ place for most, for a good number of reasons.

March Festivals in Meribel

By Nick Barlow | Published: March 3, 2010
Spring skiing has always had its advantages – the days are longer, the lifts are open later, the snow is still good and the temperatures are warm enough to sit outside at the end of the day enjoying a cold beer or a vin chaud! This season the resort of Meribel is providing extra incentives for skiing at this time of year by hosting not one, but two festival extravaganzas! To be able to combine the joy of a skiing holiday with top quality evening entertainment is a fantastic opportunity and one that will make the holiday that bit more special.
