The Oxford Ski Team Returns from the Alps
A 5 day trip was organised last week to Megeve, Verbier, Saas Fee and Zermatt for some of the Oxford Ski Team. This was a chance for the team to go and visit the chalets in resort and get a feel for the resorts themselves.
It was a great trip where we saw some lovely chalets. And here is how it went ………
Tuesday started with a trip to Megeve to see hotels and possible new properties there.
On Wednesday half of the team visited Verbier – a beautiful and traditional resort which has lots of summer and winter trade. During our time there we saw properties such as Nyumba, Fontanet and The Lodge.
Thursday started off with a visit to Saas Fee in the morning to see Chalet Chloe, a great chalet located close to the town centre. The afternoon took us to Zermatt; a resort that we have all fallen in love with. The resort was bustling with mountain bikers, walkers and those just enjoying the beautiful weather and the view of the Matterhorn. Whilst in Zermatt we were able to see chalets such as Chalet Grace, Les Anges, Chalet Maurice, Zermatt Loft and Chalet Zaphir plus some great hotels such as the Firefly, Hotel Post and Hotel Focus.
Two of the sales team were then fortunate enough to spend a few days in Verbier, taking advantage of the wonderfully efficient Swiss rail network, to make the two and a half hour journey across the Rhone valley. Whilst in Verbier we were able to view Chalets Kernow, Sagittaire, Bella Coola, Victoria I and also the exciting new development which is Number 14 (pictured above).
All of the resorts that we visited were extremely pretty and very in keeping with Swiss Tradition and we are all looking forward to sending our guests there in the near future.
If you need any further information on the chalets mentioned or any other chalets on our website please call us now on +44 (0) 1865 398130 to avoid disappointment.
