Scott Dunn Ski brochure

ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST A HOLIDAY

ski 2012 / 13

I cannot remember being so excited about a winter. It seems the abundant snow last year has us brimming with enthusiasm and we are dying to show you what we have been working on. We have been listening to you, our guests, and creating some of our most exciting holidays ever. We decided to build on two of our biggest strengths - our resort teams and our worldwide tailor-made expertise. In Val d’Isère, St. Anton, Courchevel 1850 and Zermatt, guests staying in one of the hotels in our much extended portfolio or our new collection of private houses and apartments will have our friendly and professional team close at hand. In North America, we have designed itineraries for a multi-resort ski adventure or a combination of skiing with a beach or city break.

In these times of austerity, the all-inclusive nature of our chalet holidays has never been so attractive and it still seems to me the best way to unite family and friends for a memorable ski trip.

This year we will be working even harder not just to make the perfect skiing holiday, but your perfect skiing holiday

Did you know transfers on ski holidays can be quick, comfortable and stress-free ?

Getting There

British Airways Our British Airways partnership means our guests will enjoy a fabulous flying experience. Guests can choose between Euro Traveller or Club Europe, where they can relax in British Airways’ airport lounges before boarding.

Transfers for ski chalet guests If you are staying in a Flagship ski chalet you will be met at the airport by a Scott Dunn representative before boarding a luxury private

We want you to arrive in the mountains feeling relaxed and excited, so we do everything we can to make sure your journey is as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Our luxury private transfers, coach transfers and our flight partner are all considered an important part of the Scott Dunn ski experience.

mini-coach to resort. Guests staying in Original or Premier ski chalets board a luxury coach to their resort, however a private transfer is an optional extra. Whilst enjoying a picnic during your transfer, you will be told about ski and boot hire and lift passes can also be arranged at this point.

Transfers for ski hotel guests If you’re staying in one of our luxury ski hotels, a private transfer will be arranged by us at the time of

booking. You will be contacted by the Scott Dunn resort manager to finalise details before you travel.

For certain hotels shared coach transfers may also be possible.

Helicopter transfers If you want your holiday to start in the best style, we can arrange a helicopter transfer from the airport rather than the standard inclusive road transfer, for a truly spectacular and fast track arrival at your chosen resort. Enjoy the sheer glamour of it.

Ski Expertise Wonderful chalets and hotels, delicious food and seamless service are incredibly important but the skiing is what you will remember for years.

Properly fitted boots, the right pair of skis for the day, an instructor to enthuse and amuse you, finding the hidden runs the crowds missed and arriving at the chairlift just as it opens on a powder day. These are the things that differentiate an unforgettable trip from a good one and finding them depends on good advice and experience.

Our teams in Courchevel 1850,

Val d’Isère, St Anton and Zermatt are there to give you that advice, so that you maximise the potential of your trip whether you are a first timer or a regular.

We work with our ski school and ski suppliers to give you daily updates so that you have an inside track on weather and snow conditions, a heads-up when to get some fat powder skis or a mountain guide and advice on which instructor will suit you. They will help you get the best equipment and show you where the snow is in its prime, so extending our services up the mountain.

A refreshing dip

Of our 23 chalets, eight have their own private pools and many also feature Hammams, Jacuzzis or hot tubs. So if the idea of an indulgent, soothing dip after a long day’s skiing appeals or perhaps a few lengths before breakfast, we have a chalet to suit you.

There are three things fundamental to skiing: a snowy slope, a pair of skis and a place to recuperate so you can do it all again tomorrow

A GREAT OPTION FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR MORE INDEPENDENCE but who still want accesS to the SCOTT DUNN service

Private houses & apartments New for winter 2012-13, we have selected a portfolio of superb private houses and apartments in Courchevel, Val d’Isère, Zermatt and St Anton which guests can take without chefs and hosts but which still enjoy the support of our resort teams. This is a great option for people who want to enjoy more independence - whether you want to cook for yourself, spend more time eating out or make the most of the après-ski.

Skiers want to focus on skiing, so great service is central to a holiday. Our in-resort teams can make it easy for you by bringing you breakfast, looking after your children, pre-stocking your fridge,

collecting you from the slopes or just being at the end of the phone when you have a question.

Of course, we can also organise your flights and airport transfers and pre-book ski tuition and guiding, so arranging a holiday could not be simpler. You have all of the backup that comes from booking with a bonded tour operator with a strong resort presence and over 25 years’ experience in the Alps.

New properties will be added regularly to our private houses and apartments portfolio so keep an eye on our website for the most up to date information.

Val d’Isere

From the famous ‘La Face’ black run to the fabulous aprEs-ski scene, Val d’Isere is a pleasing mix of superb skiing and lively chic.

Resort facts and figures Resort altitude: 1850m Highest point: 3480m Vertical drop: 1930m Ski areas: Espace Killy, combining Tignes and Val d’Isère.

Pistes: 300km Best for: Good and very good skiers although there is also plenty to keep beginners and intermediates entertained. Quite a lot of the blue runs are on the upper slopes.

On the mountain Located in the expansive Espace Killy, with quick links to neighbouring Tignes, there is enough skiing here to keep skiers of all standards challenged and entertained for a lifetime, let alone a week. While intermediates are spoilt for choice when it comes to fast blues and challenging reds, advanced skiers will love the off-piste terrain available, as well as the ferocious ‘La Face’ piste, multitude of mogul fields and the famous ‘OK’ piste. If you are a beginner, the ‘Tranquille’ ski areas are the perfect runs to find your feet.

Off the mountain Renowned worldwide, Val d’Isère has far more to offer than just skiing. The Centre Aquasportif features two swimming pools, a climbing wall, multi-activity sports hall, fitness suite, gym and squash courts; as well as a wellness area with a sauna, steam bath, spa, cold baths and hydromassage. There are also plenty of walking trails on offer, as well as husky sledding, skidooing, cross-country skiing and paragliding.

Après, dining and nightlife With over 60 restaurants, numerous bars and three nightclubs, Val d’Isère offers plenty of choice for anything from enjoying an après-ski beer at the foot of the slopes, to partying into the early hours. Favourite après bars include the Folie Douce at the top of the ‘OK’ run, with live music from 3-5pm, Café Face, Doudounne’s Le Chalet, which is situated at the bottom of the Solaise run and Rosée Blanche in La Daille, which is a good option if you want a quiet drink.

Children’s holiday villages, nurseries and childcare assistants are also available and of course our exclusive Scott Dunn Explorers club can be booked by both our chalet and hotel guests.

ST Anton

St Anton is a lively, charming village, WITH fabulous skiing and one of the best snow records in the Alps. discover the unrivalled apres-ski which is all served up with renowned Austrian hospitality.

Resort facts and figures Resort altitude: 1304m Highest point: 2811m Vertical drop: 1507m Ski areas: The Arlberg ski pass covers St Anton, St Christoph, Lech, Zurs and Sonnenkopf.

Pistes: 250km Best for: Good and advanced skiers. Beginner areas on the lower slopes. The Rendl gondola has made the skiing for intermediates more accessible.

On the mountain St Anton offers some of the best off-piste terrain anywhere in the world. Without a guide, you will barely scratch the surface so we recommend Piste to Powder for excellent off-piste guiding.

Heli-skiing is also available here and for those who love skiing but hate the cold, the Arlberg ski area has a number of chair lifts with heated seats.

While some of the terrain can be challenging for those with only a few weeks experience, the Rendl area offers some easier runs along with plenty of sun.

Off the mountain With fabulous Tyrolean hospitality oozing from every pore, St Anton exudes character and charm. The village itself offers the quintessential Alpine experience and there is a wealth of good restaurants and shops to enjoy. The St Anton Wellness centre, the Well.com, is also a must for anyone who likes to be pampered, beating most other resorts hands down when it comes to spa facilities. It has an indoor swimming pool, paddling pool, outdoor pool, indoor and outdoor tennis, an ice rink, a fabulous gym, sauna, steam and massage rooms and sun beds.

Après, dining and nightlife St Anton’s après-ski is legendary. Finish a great day on the slopes with drinks at the Krazy Kanguruh or the Mooserwirt – arguably the best après-ski venue in the world. Eating out and drinking in St Anton is great value compared to many other premier Alpine resorts – and we think Austrian service and hospitality is the best in the Alps. The bars are alive from mid-afternoon until early morning, so there is always somewhere to go if you want a party.

Family and ski school The Arlberg Ski School is particularly good for young children. There are good nursery slopes here and a dedicated children’s area too. St Anton is one of our chalet resorts, so we offer Scott Dunn childcare to all our chalet and hotel guests.

beyond our serviced resorts

We have a selection of hotels in the Alps beyond our core resorts, chosen because they offer something special. As a delightful alternative but still in Europe we offer a couple of lovely hotels in the Spanish Pyrenees and Italian Dolomites.

Taking its name from the abundance of Aspen trees, Aspen is brimming with oldworld charm. Here you have four amazing mountains of wonderful varied terrain to suit all abilities. You will never have to ski the same run twice.

If you are willing to go the extra distance, North America will not disappoint. You can expect superb skiing, amazing scenery and wonderful hospitality. In true American style, an unrivalled infrastructure that is run with military precision means less time queuing for the lifts and more time enjoying the spectacular runs and famous dry snow.

Chile is a great, if seemingly unlikely alternative ski destination. The season here is June to October, when you can experience exhilarating offpiste skiing in Portillo, the country’s oldest ski resort.

Whistler is famed for its vast ski area and stunning snow record, while Jackson Hole will add a little ‘yee-ha’ to your day with its wild-west ambience and demanding terrain.

If you are interested in trying any of these destinations, we can tailor a ski holiday that takes you there.

North America

North America has so much to offer to skiers and snowboarders, whatever their standard and this winter we are offering a much enhanced programme in both the US and Canada because the ski experience is just too good to ignore. The snow record speaks for itself and for most, this alone is a good enough reason to go. The Americans and Canadians have not sat on their snowy laurels though and their enthusiasm and dedication to service and a great all round experience make going there such a pleasure.

English speaking ski instructors will make your day, lift queues are minimal and the ski runs are prepared with a fanaticism

that borders on obsession.

Above all though, skiing here is friendly and everyone you encounter, from your fellow chairlift passengers to your waiter, genuinely wants you to have a great stay. Many of North America’s well known resorts are small by European standards and we have focused on the best ones that we believe justify the trip. Aspen, Beaver Creek, Jackson Hole, Vail and Whistler could scarcely be more different to one another but all are outstanding in their own right. Finally, for the ski trip you will never forget, heli-skiing in British Columbia is simply out of this world.

North America itineraries If you are taking the flight across the Atlantic, we highly recommend staying a little longer than a week and taking in more of what America has to offer. A flight network like no other makes the possibilities almost infinite, so whether you want to ski in two resorts or combine your skiing with a city break or beach escape, our team can help.

In Vail or Beaver Creek, complement your resort stay with a few nights under the stars in a mountain-top chalet. December skiing in Colorado could be succeeded

by Christmas shopping in New York City or you could

travel from Jackson Hole to the bright lights of Las Vegas or Los Angeles. With Easter falling early, 2013 is a great year to head from the Rockies to the beaches of Mexico or the Caribbean. Finally for thrill-seekers, warm-up in Whistler before taking on British Columbia’s awe inspiring heliskiing terrain. For the ultimate ski experience, you can top this off with a surfing trip to Hawaii.

The possibilities really are limitless whether you are looking for a honeymoon, a family trip of a lifetime or just the deepest, lightest powder of your life.

ASPEN SNOWMASS

North America’s answer to Zermatt, Aspen town offers great food and culture, while Snowmass offers total skiing convenience.

Resort facts and figures Resort altitude: 2422m Highest point: 3813m Vertical drop: 1340m Ski areas: Aspen, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass.

Pistes: 336 Best for: Couples and adult groups looking for varied skiing and vibrant nightlife will love Aspen.

Families with younger children and less advanced skiers would enjoy Snowmass.

On the mountain Aspen Snowmass is made up of four separate ski areas – Aspen, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass (which accounts for just over half the ski area). The skiing above Aspen itself is reasonably steep and challenging and while intermediates will manage it, only fairly strong skiers will do the leg burningly long groomers or more challenging diamond and double diamond black runs justice. Aspen Highlands, the locals’ favourite, offers similar terrain but is groomed less frequently. Buttermilk offers two extremes – gentle green runs for beginners and enormous snowpark features for avid freestylers, whilst on the other side, Snowmass is a great alternative for beginners and intermediates. Good skiers would be encouraged to get the frequent bus around to get the most from the ski area.

Off the mountain Aspen is an historic town dating back to the 19th century silver rush. It is full of character and culture and has become renowned as both a great ski town and a magnet for the wealthy and famous.

For those wanting something a little less active, Aspen has a great selection of shops, boutiques and interesting galleries.

Après, dining and nightlife Aspen is a great place to party and you could find yourself rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars – Goldie Hawn and Jack Nicholson are two Aspen locals. Après-ski is focused around the Ajax Tavern and 39 Degrees at the Sky Hotel and the restaurant scene is thriving: Matsuhisa is renowned for its fine sushi, Steakhouse No 316 is gaining a great reputation and Jimmy’s is more down-to-earth and usually busy with locals. The J-Bar at the Jerome is an iconic drinking venue where Hunter S Thompson used to ride his horse into the bar and for live music, Belly Up is a tiny venue which attracts huge names such as Snoop Dogg and the B-52s.

Family and ski school Whilst Aspen is great for older children, we thoroughly recommend Snowmass for families with children of all ages. The Treehouse, a children’s centre at the base of the lifts, is the hub of Snowmass’ kids’ programmes, group lessons start from 2 ½ year olds with ‘Cubs on Skis’ and go through to teen groups and ‘teen steep’ camps.

For more information on Aspen, including our local knowledge of great places to eat, activities and maps of each property’s location, please visit: scottdunn.com/aspen For enquiries and bookings, please contact: ski@scottdunn.com or call: 020 8682 5050

Beaver Creek

Beaver Creek is one of the most family-friendly ski resorts in the world. The sun shines bright over 300 days a year, lighting up 1,815 acres of pristine powder and groomed runs.

Resort facts and figures Resort altitude: 2469m Highest point: 3488m Vertical drop: 1231m Ski areas: Beaver Creek & Bachelor Gulch Pistes: 149 Best for: All standards of skier. Beaver Creek is particularly family-friendly and the children’s ski school area is fantastic.

On the mountain Beaver Creek is often called Vail’s little sister but the variety of terrain means it punches well above its weight. Beginners and intermediates can spend days on end finding different ways down Strawberry Express and to Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead. Advanced skiers will be entertained in the Larkspur Bowl, on Centennial and in the Rose Bowl. Meanwhile experts can pit themselves against the fearsome Birds of Prey World Cup downhill course before hunting for fresh powder in the glades off Grouse Mountain and the Stone Creek chutes.

Off the mountain Small and exclusive, Beaver Creek is firmly aimed at ease for families, with everything within easy reach of the accommodation. There is an ice-rink in the heart of the village and tubing at ‘the Ranch’ at the top of the Buckaroo Express gondola.

Après, dining and nightlife Low-key and relaxed, après-ski is unpretentious and down-to-earth. ‘Coyote Café’ is a locals’ favourite for Colorado microbrews and a range of margaritas! Family-friendly restaurants include ‘The Dusty Boot’, a cowboy saloon with a good choice of steaks and the ‘Blue Moose’ for pizzas.

‘Splendido at the Chateau’ is a refined option for contemporary American whilst a must-do is a visit to Spago, Wolfgang Puck’s flagship restaurant in Bachelor Gulch for imaginative gourmet cuisine.

For a great winter experience, head up the mountain on a sleigh pulled by a snowcat to dinner at Beano’s Cabin.

Family and ski school The Wild West themed children’s ski school area in Beaver Creek is brilliant – it will be difficult getting kids out of the ‘Okee Dokee Korral’ and ‘the Ranch’! There are lessons for children of all ages and for teens after some real excitement, there are freestyle lessons in the terrain parks.

The full story Start your ski holiday in Beaver Creek at the Osprey, the hotel situated closest to a ski lift in North America. Slip on boots and skis, sit on the chairlift and off you go! Send the kids off to the brilliant ‘Okee Dokee Korral’ and ‘the Ranch’ and head off to tackle the Birds of Prey World Cup downhill course, guaranteed to get your blood pumping! Everything is designed for ease in Beaver Creek – the heart of the village

is pedestrianised and even the pavements are heated. When you are ready for a change of scene, ski into Trappers Cabin, a secluded hideaway on Beaver Creek mountain, for a couple of nights.

VAIL

The Largest Ski Area In the USA, a great snow record and over 300 days of sunshine a year all make Vail a ‘must ski’ destination.

Resort facts and figures Resort altitude: 2476m Highest point: 3527m Vertical drop: 1052m Ski areas: Front Side, Back Bowls Pistes: 193 Best for: All standards of skier. There is a wide range of green, blue and black diamond runs and everything from perfectly groomed trails to fantastic tree skiing and wonderful powder skiing in the back bowls.

On the mountain With a state of the art express lift system (with the friendliest lift staff around), guests staying in Vail can cover miles and miles of fabulous terrain each day. It is well worth starting the holiday with Vail’s complimentary Mountain Tour – a ‘get to know the mountain’ tour – useful for orientation for the rest of the week. The ‘Front Side’ offers a wide range of green, blue and black diamond runs for all standards – many runs are groomed daily into perfect ‘corduroy’ while moguls are allowed to build up on others to challenge stronger skiers.

Beginners are well catered for at Golden Peak and for advanced skiers, Vail’s ‘Back Bowls’ offer huge open terrain and some great powder skiing.

Off the mountain Vail Village is the main centre – as the name would suggest, there is a real ‘village’ feel and the pedestrianised centre combines atmosphere with proximity to the ski slopes and the gondola.

Lion’s Head is smaller than Vail Village, the focal point being Vail Square which is attractive and full of charm with plenty of shops, sunny terraces, restaurants and the outdoor ice rink.

Après, dining and nightlife While Vail is clearly a ‘premier’ ski resort, there are plenty of reasonable and down-to-earth bars and restaurants which we find hugely refreshing (and in marked contrast to some of skiing’s other ‘premier’ destinations). Pepi’s in Vail village is a lively spot from which to watch skiers tackle Pepi’s Face black run into the resort and Garfinkels in Lionshead has a good sundeck and DJ. Sweet Basil is great for unpretentious fine dining and then carry on into the night at Los Amigos.

Family and ski school Children of all ages are really given lots of attention at ski school and are split by age and ability. Lessons are of a very high standard and focus on all sorts of terrain to build up children’s confidence on the slopes. The teen programmes are simply ‘too cool for school’! For adults, it is well worth booking a private instructor, they can take up to 5 people, which makes them good value.

JACKSON HOLE

If great skiing combined with cowboy heritage and mesmerising scenery and wildlife appeals, then Jackson Hole is the place to go.

This wonderful, unspoilt Wild West town is home to some thrilling steep terrain including one of the USA’s largest verticals, deep powder and a superb snow record.

Resort facts and figures Resort altitude: 1925m Highest point: 3185m Vertical drop: 1261m Ski areas: Jackson Hole (Rendezvous and Apres Vous mountains) with alternative passes available for Grand Targhee and Snow King Mountain Pistes: 116 Best for: Experienced and intermediate skiers and especially off-piste fanatics.

On the mountain The Teton mountain range is easily recognisable to most skiing fanatics who will have seen it feature in countless ski movies. Boasting more steep terrain than anywhere else in North America, not to mention a great snow record, Jackson Hole should feature on any keen skier’s ‘bucket’ list.

The Hobacks and Corbet’s Couloir are highlights to get the adrenaline pumping. Do not be put off if you are not an expert though, anyone who is comfortable in Val d’Isère or St Anton has nothing to fear and Apres Vous mountain has more intermediate runs.

Off the mountain Jackson Hole is a proper cowboy town with a real sense of history, it is well worth taking time to explore it. Only slightly further afield the Yellowstone National Park is a natural winter wonderland and a tour by snowmobile or dog sled, a great way to see the geysers, bison, eagles and bears, is not to be missed.

Après, dining and nightlife The town of Jackson has more character than most of the other resorts in North America put together, with live Country & Western music, line dancing, pool halls and even galleries to entertain you after skiing. As you would expect, great steaks are guaranteed but Jackson has become more sophisticated in recent years and there is a good range of other cuisines on offer too Family and ski school Because of the extraordinary terrain at Jackson Hole, as well as normal ski schools, there are specific camps available for ‘steep and deep’ and guides who can take you deep into the backcountry. For children, there are some easy runs and the ‘Kids’ Ranch’ looks after children from 3-17 years old.

Both mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb, offer top-to-bottom skiing and a dazzling range of terrain and with 5 snowparks, 1 Super Pipe and 1 Snow Cross Track.

Off the mountain Apart from the fabulous slopes, Whistler has plenty more to offer.

The Nordic centre is the place to try some cross-country skiing (popular with the locals) or take an excursion to Squamish to see the eagles.

Après, dining and nightlife Whistler is very lively from après-ski time onwards, after a long day’s skiing head for the Garibaldi Lift Company and the Longhorn at the bottom of Whistler mountain or Merlin’s at the base of Blackcomb for drinks, nachos and bigscreen sports. For eating out, there is plenty on offer, including Italian, seafood, Asian, Japanese and classic American.
