Frequently Asked Questions
To help you decide what to do
and where to go, we have compiled a list of our
most commonly asked questions.
Can Ski Weekend arrange Car Hire?
Yes we can offer car hire.
Can we book our own flights?
Yes of course. No problem you can get to the airport by magic carpet, we will organise to collect you.
Do Ski Weekend organise Ski Lessons?
Often asked can we join a group? It is difficult as most ESF groups start on a Sunday and finish on Friday. Unless of course you have your own group, then we can organise your own instructor guide. We have a team of handpicked instructors and guides who can offer half days and full days instruction.
Do you only do weekends?
How long is a weekend? You can stay for as long or a short a stay as you would like. If you come mid week, the slopes are deserted, and the flight availability wide open. Why not?
Do you only go to Chamonix?
No. Ski Weekend can offer a number of destinations, however there a number of parameters to consider for weekend skiing, which is different to a normal weeks skiing.
There are some things that work and some that do not, and after 18 years, we know a few of the wrinkles!
• Proximity to a airport • Length of transfer(affects the cost and effective skiing time) • Availability of accommodation for a weekend (some resorts will only take 7 night stays) • Snow reliability • Good skiing for mixed groups for a weekend.
It is our aim, never to be able to sell a Ski Weekend from the web site! Each holiday is tailored to your requirements,travel plans and availability of suitable flights and accommodation. That's why at the end of the day you have to talk to us, as the picture of availability is ever changing.
Does Ski Weekend provide transfers?
Ski Weekend organise transfers for you to and from Geneva, we only meet the flight you come in on, and transfer you in a clean comfortable luxury vehicle.
Isn't Chamonix for Experts?
Chamonix suffers from it's reputation of steep and deep, yes for sure we have really special off piste skiing, but 4 of the ski areas are suited to intermediates with good cruisy piste skiing. More than enough for a weekends skiing.
Ski in Ski out?
It's not easy, as geographically most weekend resorts are near to the airports, and not in the ski in ski out resorts, where typically the hotels will only take 7 night stays. There are some exceptions. Ski Weekend provide transport to and from the slopes in Chamonix.
