Winter Sports itinerary templates
Resort weeks and ski touring, with lift passes costed rather than merely excluded and the insurance distinction between on-piste, off-piste and glacier travel spelled out.
Ski Day Trip
A full day on the slopes with morning and afternoon skiing sessions, a mountain restaurant lunch, and après-ski. Covers resort logistics, slope recommendations, and equipment management.
5-Day Ski & Winter Sports Holiday
A five-day winter sports holiday mixing skiing, snowboarding, and alternative snow activities. Suitable for mixed-ability groups with a dedicated rest and alternative activity day mid-trip. Covers resort logistics, equipment, slope conditions, and après-ski.
7-Day Ski Touring Adventure
A week of backcountry ski touring through alpine wilderness. Hut-to-hut with significant avalanche awareness. Off-piste only — no resort skiing. For experienced skiers with touring equipment and avalanche training.
Where winter itineraries are won and lost
The lift pass is the item guests argue about, so an itinerary states whether it is included and at what rate rather than leaving it to the small print. Mixed-ability groups are the norm and need a plan: a day that works for a confident intermediate and a nervous beginner is a day designed for both, usually with a lesson and a shorter afternoon. Off the piste, the equipment list stops being a suggestion — transceiver, probe and shovel, plus a check that everyone can actually use them. Insurance is the sharpest edge: on-piste, off-piste with a guide, and glacier travel are three different covers, and the assumption that a policy stretches across all three is common and wrong.
What is in these templates
A resort day, a five-day holiday for mixed abilities with a deliberate rest and alternative-activity day, and a week of hut-to-hut ski touring that is off-piste throughout with no resort skiing at all. Lift passes are costed rather than merely excluded. The touring week carries avalanche assessment as a named part of each day, with guide-only notes on the conditions that cancel a col and the fallback that replaces it, plus the hut bookings that make the route non-negotiable once the week starts.
