Weeklong 2025 - Chamonix, France
JAN. 31 - FEB. 9, 2025
Yes, we're off to Chamonix, France! A 6-day ski pass including one day at Courmayeur, Italy.
Mont Blanc Valley, one of the most famous alpine destinations in the world, is paradise for winter sports over 5 resorts. We are centrally located in Chamonix at Hotel Le Faucigny, with easy access to resort transits and dining of all levels. Access to the Brévent ski area is via the Savoy ski lift located less than a 5-minute walk away. Shuttle buses running to the Valley’s other ski areas stop just a few metres from the hotel.
Our 1-day visit to Courmayeur offers 100 km of groomed runs and freeride tracks, on 33 slopes with significant differences in altitude. Before flying back to Canada, we overnight in Geneva with time to explore the city using public transport network UNIRESO: buses (TPG), trains (CFF), and boats (Mouettes genevoises).
Cross-Country Mid-Week to Far Hills Inn
Feb. 14-16, 2024
Parc regional Dufresne (formerly known as the Far Hills & Val-David XC ski areas) is one of the largest and most comprehensive ski centres in Quebec. Located in Val Morin, this location provides direct access to the ski trails right outside the door. The extensive system of 130 km of trails (80 km groomed and 50 km of back-country), offers excellent skiing for all levels of ability. Most of the trails are double-tracked, and many have a skating lane in the centre. Some of the trails were cut by the legendary Jackrabbit Johannsen!
