Choosing your destination

Which resort for your corporate ski trip ?

The choice of resort decides half the success of a corporate trip — and it is almost never the most prestigious one that wins. Here are the criteria that genuinely matter, and the destinations where our teams live all year round.

The method

Five criteria, in this order

Companies often choose their resort by reputation. We choose it the other way round : by constraints, starting with the ones you cannot recover from.

Travel time

Criterion number one on a short format. Three hours each way delivers a tired group and eats the first day. Over two days, stay under 90 minutes.

One roof for everyone

The most underestimated criterion. As soon as the group sleeps across two or three properties, the shared evening loses its power — and that evening is what justifies the trip.

Altitude

It secures the snow, particularly early and late in the season. In December or April it outweighs everything else.

The meeting room

If you plan a plenary, not every resort can seat 80 people with a decent screen. Check before committing, not after.

Prestige

Last. It matters for a reward trip or a client event ; it never compensates for poor access or a split group.

Frequently asked

Choosing a resort : your questions

Large resort or small village ?

It depends on headcount and objective. A village works perfectly well up to around 60 people and creates a warmer atmosphere : the group occupies the place instead of dissolving into it. Beyond that, or if you want a large ski area and proper conference facilities, look to a high-altitude resort.

Do we need a high-altitude resort ?

It is essential in December and April, when snow cover in village resorts is uncertain. In January and February altitude becomes a secondary criterion, and a well-covered village often gives a better group experience. See when to organise your trip.

Can you organise in a resort you don’t list ?

Yes. This page shows the territories where we have year-round teams, which is what lets us genuinely know the places. We also organise elsewhere in the northern French Alps ; just tell us what you have in mind.

Does the resort change the budget much ?

Less than the dates do. On identical dates, the gap between a village resort and a large high-altitude one is real but moderate ; the gap between February and January outside holidays is considerable. See the budget of a corporate ski trip.
