“Our party all had a most wonderful holiday! Firstly, the quite unbelievable food from Marcus, dishes we would never have experienced but for his skill and passion in his kitchen. Secondly, the service we received from the moment we arrived from all the Saskia team was just right, relaxed but highly attentive, particularly from Mark who had just joined you apparently! Thirdly, Saskia catered for our family’s needs perfectly, we have been skiing for over two decades and this holiday was one of our best and finally, Vaujany the Alpe d'Huez Grande Domaine and near perfect weather and snow conditions just made our time with you more memorable, Many thanks”,
Julian and Smart family, Chalet Saskia, XMAS 2011.
“Chalet hosts excellent all round. Fantastic food – best I’ve ever had at a chalet and I’ve stayed at quite a few. Also very tolerant and understanding of our children. Ski Leaders very helpful indeed-nothing seemed too much trouble”.
D Watson, Chalet Rostaing, March 2009.
For intermediate and advanced skiers who want to get the most out of their holiday, we offer an inclusive ski leading programme. The ski leaders will not only help you find the pistes most suited to your preference and ability, but have a comprehensive knowledge of the piste conditions for the time of day and how to avoid lift queues. They also love to show you how to find the best mountain restaurants, with an emphasis on the tastiest lunches, good value and ambiance.
“Ski guiding was excellent – always punctual and considerate and great fun to be with. Saskia staff contributed to a wonderful holiday”.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed our week. The food was outstanding and well balanced menu for all dinners. All leaders very well informed about the area and made the ski leading most interesting”.
Our Ski Leaders are great for companionship and for those who want to join a group, but don’t really need lessons (see ‘Ski Instructors & Guides’ if you do). Five days a week this service starts with a general reconnoitre to familiarise guests with the entire skiable domain and all the services provided, followed by a more specific programme to cover the less accessible but more interesting runs.
Our ski leaders also host our fantastic and fun 'Champagne Run' – see Our Challenge’ for details. Many groups of friends or family parties who have skiers or snowboarders of different abilities find that our ski leaders provide a sociable option to skiing alone – and we’ll always arrange a lunch stop so that everyone can meet up.
