Ski Weekend Pre Departure Information
Thank you for booking with Ski Weekend! Below is some useful information for you to ensure your weekend goes smoothly. We want you to experience the very best the Alps has to offer, so if there is anything we can do don’t hesitate to let us know.
Flight information
Clients normally book their own flights, however they may use our accredited provider. For all flight related queries, we can discuss this during the booking process.
If you have booked your own flights, please ensure we have your flight details as soon as possible and should you need advice with other travel elements, just let us know.
On arrival
If you have opted for a SHARED transfer to Chamonix, when you enter the arrivals hall you should make your way to our transport partners at the Mountain Drop Offs check point sign (to the left of the Tekeo cafe opposite the UBS bank teller) unless you see a Ski Weekend sign with the lead party name. You are normally sent a text from your driver with welcome details.
Shared transfers normally operate hourly and therefore a short wait may be possible until the next one departs. You can upgrade your transfer to PRIVATE up to one week prior to departure subject to availability* (*cost dependent on number in party)
For all PRIVATE transfers, you will be personally met as you enter the arrivals hall for any of the gateways we use across the Alps.
Look out for a SKI WEEKEND or your lead party name.
Return transfers
For all return transfers, you will be advised of your departure time the evening before via text. Shared transfers normally allow for a longer journey time, but collection times are based on local traffic conditions and your scheduled flight departure time.
Ski passes
We will deliver your ski passes to your accommodation if you have pre-bought these. Let us know if you require this service - we're happy to help.
Equipment rental
For Premium or Conciege service clients in Chamonix, we will facilitate your equipment hire and organise shuttle transportation to the slopes each morning. Talk to us about your requirements for your chosen trip and we will work with our local partners to provide the best solution.
Shuttles in Chamonix
Ski Weekend are a unique provider of in-valley transport in Chamonix to get you skiing with less fuss. The service can be an AM collection or PM return from the slopes collection and times are normally pre-agreed the day before. The driver will take you to the best part of the valley based on local conditions and abilities within your group.
