Giant Spiders in Verbier

We’ve all noticed that winter is just around the corner; and the question everyone is afraid to ask is, what’s the snow going to be like this season?

Fear not, however! Fortunately the boys at Performance Verbier ski school have a scientifically sound snow forecast. It involves the number of berries on the trees and size of the spiders in the sink.

Verbier is inundated with giant arachnids this autumn, which if superstition and old wives tales are to believed mean (along with the berries on the trees) that the snow is going to fall and give Verbier a fantastic season.

Great feedback on The Luxury Chalet Collection website

Last week we relaunched the Luxury Chalet Collection website for the Winter 2011/12 season. The website was rebuilt form the ground up by Gibe Digital in Bristol. Please see their recent Blog about this…

These 20 most exclusive ski chalets and lodges to rent in the world are hand picked by The Oxford Ski Company, the leading luxury ski specialist travel agency in the UK.

“These are not the 20 most expensive chalets in the Alps, that would be a very different list, but The Oxford Ski Company’s honest and impartial assessment of the chalets they believe offer something truly remarkable. I have been extremely fortunate to visit, and write about, many luxury chalets, but I cannot claim to have the same level of insight that Rupert and his team can bring to the Alpine table. Not only have they visited all of these chalets, and many, many more, over several seasons, but they also have the ultimate research tool: you, the guests. They are in a unique position to make an up-to-date value judgment on not just the design of the chalets but also the service, the food and, above all, the value for money”
