Oxford Ski Team return from the Alps
Today the Oxford Ski Sales Team return from a week’s visit to six of the Alpine resorts The Oxford Ski Company is proud to represent.
Below is my diary account of some of the ways we spent the week in Switzerland & Austria:
Monday – We viewed several great properties, starting the day off in Klosters. A pretty ski resort town with easy access to most of the lifts. Klosters has a lot to offer in regards to chalets, including Chesa Falcun (a modern property with amazing views), and Chalet Bear (a traditional & cosy, chocolate box chalet perfect for a winter trip to Switzerland).
Tuesday – Next was Davos where we visited the Tivoli Lodge (pool, pictured below): a great chalet in a lovely part of Davos. Tivoli has a lovely pool and great facilities for children.
Wednesday– St Moritz is the place to be if you are a non-skier and/or enjoy the atmosphere of Courchevel 1850. St Moritz has lots to offer when it comes to shopping and taking a long lunch. The Carlton Hotel is very modern with exciting decor, attention to detail in every room and, stunning views over the lake. If you prefer a chalet, there is the Lakeside Apartment. Also enjoying views over the lake & with a very modern decor, this property offers modern convenience to cater to the guests’ every need.
Thursday – Zurs – A small resort with a lot of access to the mountains, here we saw Bentleys House, which is in a great location near to the lifts with great facilities.
Lech – A great family-orientated resort with a lot to offer. A great ski area with easy access to Zurs and St Anton, Lech is know for a great snow record during the Winter season, and a wealth of untouched off-piste. There are some lovely hotels in this resort, including the Hotel Arlberg (pictured above): a traditional Austrian Hotel where Princess Diana often stayed with the two young princes.
Friday – St Anton – A great traditional Austrian town with great skiing. The resort also appeals to younger groups, with its great reputation for après-ski and vibrant nightlife.
