Why Flexible, Short Breaks Work

Modern skiers love short breaks because they combine the thrill of the slopes with manageable logistics:

• Minimal time off needed – enjoy a proper holiday without committing to a full week.

• Better budgeting – short stays leave room to upgrade meals, equipment, or après-ski treats.

• Simpler travel – with Geneva just over an hour away, weekend flights are easy to coordinate.

• Maximum impact – two or three days on the pistes is enough to feel energised and reset.

Short doesn’t have to mean rushed – with everything ready on arrival, a 3-night ski weekend delivers all the magic of a longer holiday.

Ski Weekends: Concentrated Mountain Magic

There’s a reason ski weekends are so popular: maximum slope time, minimal stress.

A typical weekend rhythm:

• Friday evening – arrive, settle into your chalet, and enjoy a relaxed supper.

• Saturday & Sunday – full ski days, après-ski in Morzine, and evenings in the hot tub or around the table.

• Monday morning – breakfast with mountain views before heading home refreshed.

Why Morzine is perfect for ski weekends:

• Quick access – just over an hour from Geneva Airport.

• Easy transfers – we provide booking links with our trusted transfer partners.

• Ready-to-go skiing – lift passes delivered and equipment pre-booked, so there’s no queueing.

• Vast terrain – explore the 600km of pistes across the Portes du Soleil in just a couple of days.

Step off the plane Friday evening, and by Saturday morning you’ll be gliding down fresh runs.

How to make the most of a short break

Even a short winter break can feel indulgent with the right planning:

• Travel smart – fly Friday evening, with partner transfer links, lift passes and skis ready on arrival.

• Keep it simple – focus on skiing, good food, and connection, rather than overfilling your time.

• Add a touch of indulgence to your après-ski — from a private chef to massages and more.

• Leave logistics to us – from booking links to meal deliveries, we can help to arrange everything so you can simply arrive and enjoy.
