Main description
The scale of the Alps changes what a ski trip can be.
More than 70 of the world’s 100 largest ski resorts are in the Alps. Their scale creates an extraordinary possibility: travelling between villages, valleys and, in some areas, even countries without taking off your skis.
Each Alpine country brings a different rhythm. Austria is known for polished lift infrastructure, Switzerland for high-mountain scenery, France for immense linked domains and food culture, and Italy for relaxed hospitality and la dolce vita.
Alpine Classics brings these elements together in a focused week at an iconic destination, with the essential trip logistics already arranged.
