Scheduled Departures

The Dolomites in winter offer both the beauty and mystery of high snow-capped mountains combined with a cross-country skiers paradise. So we have designed this wonderful Dolomite ski week where you will have specific lessons to improve your track skills and technique whilst skiing from village to village enjoying the Italian lifestyle!

This week coincides with the international cross country ski marathon known as the 'Marcialonga', part of the World Loppet Ski Series*. So, if you are wanting something to aim for with your skiing then why not add this to your holiday? Choose from the Marcialonga 'Light' 45k or the 70k full distance events which are both classic track events. During our week we will explore the course on skis and then provide you with the skills and technique to get you to the finish line!

• Explore valleys, plateaus and villages on skis
• Improve track skills and technique
• Opportunity to take part in an International Ski event
• Option to add on our 'Italian Ski Weekend' to make a 10 day trip

Flexibile itinerary & travel dates.

Arrival can be on the 23rd or 24th January.

Are you a regular runner, running up to 10km or half marathon in distance, who would enjoy the opportunity to run in the mountains? Then join us for a week in the Chamonix Valley, France, running amongst some of the highest mountains in the world, with coaching from a World Champion athlete.

This is a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Alpine Trail Running with the added challenge of entering a race at the end of the week. Chamonix offers several annual events on mountain trails which include: a 10km, half & full marathons and ultra distances. Previous experience of off-road running would be an advantage - but not essential.

• Be coached on trail running and gain expert advice
• Enter a local 10km trail run or the half marathon
• Enjoy classes in core stability and Yoga classes
• Pre race massage included
• Relax in the evening in your fully catered chalet with a hot tub and sauna
• Enjoy running with stunning views of the Mont Blanc range

Demand for this trip has been such that it has now been filled twice over! Please feel free to contact us to discuss any other dates for a bespoke trip.

We hope you will join us on this luxury long weekend in the Alps which allows you to both relax and exercise in the fresh mountain air. Our unique trip is designed for those who want to get away from it all and feel fully re-charged and refreshed.

Our retreat is based Chamonix Valley, France. As well as being first class accommodation this is an ideal base as Italy and Switzerland are just a 30 minute drive away. We have chosen departures on a Thursday returning on a Sunday evening. With Geneva airport just over an hour away it makes a perfect long weekend. Each day we will spend a few hours Nordic Walking and improving our fitness but we also have plenty of time to relax and explore the area.
