Corporate ski trips
A company ski trip has a problem a trip with friends doesn't: half the team has never skied, and if that half spends the day in the cafeteria the trip has failed. So the corporate pack includes group lessons for beginners on day one, equipment chosen by level and a resort with genuinely easy slopes, not just kilometres.
We organise all of it with one contact: a block of hotel rooms with a room for the team dinner, lift passes for the days you ski, lessons by level, equipment booked in each person's name (sizes taken before the trip, no queue on the first morning) and the coach from the office. One invoice, or one per person if the company only pays part.
What we organise
- A block of rooms for the whole team, with a room or restaurant booked for the company dinner.
- Group lift passes arranged with the resort for the exact days you ski.
- Group lessons by level on day one: beginners are skiing a blue run by day two.
- Equipment booked in each person's name, sizes taken before the trip.
- Return coach from the office, or airport transfers if the team flies in from several cities.
- One invoice to the company, or a group code so each person pays whatever the company doesn't cover.
Where to go
- Grandvalira — The largest ski area in the Pyrenees, with group hotels in Soldeu, El Tarter and Pas de la Casa, three hours from Barcelona and two and a half from Toulouse. Genuinely easy slopes at El Tarter and Grau Roig for beginners.
- Baqueira Beret — The resort of choice for a company that wants to impress: Beret is a plateau of wide runs where the whole team skis together, and the Aran Valley has hotels and restaurants worthy of the company dinner.
- Sierra Nevada — The option for companies in Andalusia, Madrid and the east coast: 45 minutes from Granada, with the team sleeping slopeside in Pradollano or in Granada with dinner in the city. Borreguiles is the most comfortable beginner area in Spain.
- La Molina — For Barcelona companies that want a day trip or one night away: two hours by coach, easy slopes in the lower area and the Alp 2500 gondola link to Masella for those who already ski.
- Formigal-Panticosa — Aragon's big resort, two hours from Zaragoza and three from Bilbao and Pamplona: four valleys to spread out levels and the best-known après-ski in the Pyrenees to end the team day.
What to know before booking
Midweek is cheaper and emptier
Sunday to Thursday, resort hotels have room for large groups and the slopes are empty. A Tuesday-to-Thursday company trip costs noticeably less than the same trip Friday to Sunday, and the team skis twice as much.
Two hours of lessons on day one
It is the difference between a team skiing together on day two and a team split in half. A two-hour group lesson on the first morning gets beginners past the fear and spares the skiers from playing instructor.
Collect sizes beforehand
We send each person a form (height, weight, boot size, level) and the equipment is ready in their name when the coach arrives. With 40 people that is two hours of the first morning spent skiing instead of queuing.
Book the dinner separately
The team dinner is the moment of the trip. Resort hotels with their own function room fill up before the rooms do: close it with the hotel in advance, not on arrival.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a corporate ski trip cost?
It depends on three things: how many people, which days (midweek is much cheaper) and whether you sleep slopeside or in the village. With those three answers and the number of complete beginners we send a fixed per-person quote with hotel, lift pass, lessons, equipment and coach itemised. We don't publish one price because it would be made up.
Can you invoice the company and let each employee pay their share?
Yes. The company gets an invoice for what it covers (usually hotel and lift pass) and each person pays the rest (equipment, extra lessons, partners) through a group code, so the shop and the hotel see a single group booking.
What about people who don't want to ski?
They get the same hotel and coach, without lift pass or equipment, and we suggest alternatives at the resort: snowshoeing, sledging, spa or a pedestrian pass up to the slopes where one exists. The quote separates skiers and non-skiers.
How far ahead should we book a company trip to the snow?
For 20 or more people midweek, one or two months is usually enough. For a weekend between January and March, or for more than 50 people, start in October or November: hotels with a function room sell out before the rooms do.
