Corporate Winter Excursions
We are also proud to work with Action Chamonix in offering a specialist experience of this part of the alps, allowing you to really get into the beauty and warmth of the culture.
Their ‘Italian Job’ evening involves you being taken over the border into Italy, and then ascending by skidoo to a cosy mountain restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Savoyard cuisine and taste local wines, before either sledging back down or skiing in a torch lit procession. This has understandably been a favourite of both Bigfoot staff and clients for years!
See below for more details of this and other excursions we can organise :
Heli Cremerie
Why not add a little adrenalin to the day by with a helicopter transfer between the Argentière slopes and your table at the "Cremerie du Glacier". With stunning agility, your pilot will skirt monumental cliffs and swoop over twisted ice features jutting from the tortured blue ice of the glacier below you. Includes a full day ski instruction.
Heliski Italia
Go where few have ever skied, ride fresh powder inaccessible by lifts and enjoy descents from summit to valley throughout the day. 3 heli-lifts, guides and equipment provided, from the extreme to the intermediate; there is no better way to feel on top of the world. Return transfers and lunch included.
Vallee Blanche ‘Royale’
Chamonix can boast a lot of one offs and the Vallée Blanche is most certainly one of them. Ski the morning on the Grands Montets then fly by helicopter to the mid station of the Aiguille du Midi cable car for the final ascent to 3841m. Your mountain guide will take you down one of the many routes through the 21 kms of spectacular glacial scenery.
Gourmet Adventure Day
After a day’s skiing in the Chamonix Valley with expert coaching from one of our professionals, why not sample the delights of gourmet cuisine at the Albert Premier hotel and restaurant – Chamonix’s finest. To complete the experience, spoil yourself with a sauna and massage ( included ).
Ab Fab Day
Spend the morning skiing the Grands Montets with one of our guide then hop onto the helicopter for a ride out of the valley past the Mont Blanc Massif to the nearby resort of Megève for more skiing. Renowned for its elegance and sophistication, Megève epitomises French and Swiss high class. Your ultimate destination is the world famous three Michelin star restaurant, “La Ferme de Mon Père” run by Marc Veyrat - the only chef to hold six Michelin stars at one time. A change of clothes will be waiting for you allowing all to dine in comfort. Finally we return to Chamonix by taxi for dancing and champagne.
Cremerie Day
Hone your skiing or perfect your off-piste technique with a full day’s intensive instruction. With the help of one of our highly qualified instructors, the possibilities of the Grands Montets will become easier and more enjoyable. Included is a hearty lunch at a traditional mountain refuge – the "Cremerie du Glacier".
James Bond Night
Explore the surroundings of the Mont Blanc range by snow scooter. The views are breathtaking as you steer your own skidoo to your restaurant for the evening. Typical of a French Farm house and not even reachable by road, your hosts serve wholesome food in a friendly atmosphere. The evening’s climax comes with guests sledging back down the slopes by the light of head torches. Ideal for groups of up to 80.
Ski By Night
Not content with daylight hours? Floodlit skiing is now available in the valley. Skiing under the stars is a great novelty if somewhat surreal, and you’re sure for a night to remember.
Contamines Day
For a change of scenery, take a private transfer direct to the tree-lined runs of Les Contamines. Incredibly picturesque and offering wonderful skiing, a day in Les Contamines is well worth the journey.Transfers, lunch and days tuition is included in the price and for some the croute au foie gras is the highlight of the day.
Gourmet Italia
Discover the extensive slopes of the Italian resort of Courmayeur, a short drive through the Mont Blanc tunnel. After trying out new techniques and skills on the slopes, sample the sumptuous food of local restaurants with delicious pasta and Italian wines. Transfers included.
Italian Job
After your day’s activities why not spend the evening in the neighbouring resort of Courmayeur. Leaving Chamonix at 5pm, we reach the foot of the Italian slopes and travel by ski doo to our restaurant – a thrilling trip piloted by expert local drivers. After a fantastic dinner of the very best regional Italian cuisine, we return to the valley on skis with torchlit descent ( non skiers can descent by skidoo ).
Heli Tarantaise Tour
Ski 7 ski resorts in one day on our incredible tour, allowing us to link together the best skiing in the French Alps. We leave Chamonix by helicopter, flying over the Vallée Blanche to Tignes where snowmobiles wait to take us to the top of our first spectacular descent. Skiing to Champagny, then La Plagne, Bellecote – skiing the face nord de Bellecote to Peisey Nan Croix, Les Arcs and off piste to Villaroger. We then take our helicopter back to Argentiere and finish the day with a fantastic descent on the Grands Montets.
Ski pass, lunch, day guiding & helicopter included.
