Arctic Beaver Holidays

We’re passionate about both adventure sports and Chamonix itself. Inspired by the best holidays we’ve ever had and the experience we've gained so far, our aim is to provide a package that combines everything we’ve learned is important on an alpine holiday, and is geared to your individual objectives - whether you’re a snow virgin ready for your first taste of the mountains or a seasoned pro in search of the best back terrain in Europe.

Bienvenue!

We will pick you up from the airport or train station in private minibuses, and take you back to the chalet to settle in. On the first evening, your arrival will be celebrated with champagne by the fire - just the way to relax into the holiday!  

Dinner

After working up an appetite on the slopes each day, a four-course meal is prepared with fresh ingredients, and wine is free flowing throughout. When the menu is designed, our objective is to provide meals of the highest standard, whilst remaining hearty and filling.

An example menu:

Parma ham & mozzarella, served with a warm tomato salsa & homemade tomato bread
Marinated & pot roasted fillet of beef, served with horseradish potatoes & vegetables
Raspberry & white chocolate brulee cheesecake, served with a rich chocolate sauce
French Cheeses & biscuits
Coffee & liquors


Extra special traditional meals are served for Christmas and New Year.   One evening each week, we will have a night off.   Breakfast and afternoon tea will still be provided, but the evening is your chance to get out and explore Chamonix.   We will be happy to advise you on the best places to go, and make reservations for you.

Breakfast

We'll prepare breakfast for the time you specify, and you can choose anything ranging from eggs cooked to taste, French toast, porridge, pancakes, fresh croissants, cereals, yoghurt, fruit, juice and hot drinks.

Afternoon Tea

After a day on the slopes, relax in front of the fire with tea, coffee or hot chocolate, and freshly baked cakes.

The Slopes


Once everyone's geared up and ready to go, we'll take you to the ski area of your choice, and drop you right outside the lift. We can lend advice as to the best places to go, we'll even come up with you!

If you like we can arrange for our guide to show you some of Cham's best kept secrets, or if you're looking for a real adventure, we can arrange for you to take on the infamous Vallee Blanche - a magical and unforgettable experience guaranteed!

When you're ready we'll pick you up from wherever are and if you like, take you for some après ski. Compare the day's experiences and comedy moments over a 'bier ou vin chaud', and build up an appetite for dinner!

Relieve the Pressure

We aim to cater for all types of holidays, so just tell us your requirements and we'll offer as much help and advice as we can. If the emphasis is on adventure sports, we can line up an action- packed stay for you, with the best activities Cham has to offer. If on the other hand you'd like some R&R, we can organise private treatments in the chalet, and spa days in nearby Switzerland.

We'll also ease the stress of planning your holiday by dealing with as much of the organisation as possible for you. We can organise your lift passes and equipment hire in advance, so that they're waiting for you when you arrive. We'll book your lessons for you, organise mountain guides, or generally anything else you'd like help with.
