One of the most "James Bond" holidays courtesy of Swisskisafari, the company has hit on a formula that combines pampering and adventure guiding clients on heli-skiing safari across Switzerland ...The Sunday Times UK
- Days 1 & 2
Meet at MI6 headquarters (aka your private chalet), where M will brief you on your week’s missions. The next morning’s skiing, guided by Q, will take you over the resort and into the valley behind: uncharted territory containing a frozen lake. Cocktails and relaxation await you back at HQ at the end of the day.
- Days 3 & 4 – Off-piste warm-up and heli-skiing like James Bond
After a warm-up ski on the area’s groomed runs, you’ll summit to the highest nearby point before your guide offers you two spectacular James Bond-style descents to the valley floor. Lakes, glaciers, or extra powder? This is warm-up for heli-skiing on day 4, which starts on the point where France and Switzerland meet. Dodge fire from the enemy in an exhilarating ski from the summit and enjoy lunch in a secret mountain lair. A James Bond cinema night awaits you back at base.
- Days 5 & 6 - Backcountry Skiing between two valleys - over, around and under the Alps
These exhilarating days on the mountain will take you past frozen lakes, through secret ice tunnels and deserted forested off-piste, stopping for fireside lunches complete with hot tubs with spectacular mountain views. Dine with Russian agents in a remote mountain retreat, and head home on a dramatic torchlight descent chased by armed henchmen. Your reward? Champagne cocktails by moonlight.
- Day 7 - Ski hike and Monastery visit followed by descent into Italy.
A two hour mountain hike up the oldest pass in Europe, a fascinating ancient monastery, lunch at a charming café with over 100 years of history and beautiful off-piste skiing; today you’ll meet authentic characters and taste mouth-watering food. Tonight, you’ll celebrate the week with a cocktail-fuelled fancy dress party. More caviar will be served from Russia with love. Just how James would like it.
