The Experience

More about the week

For winter sports enthusiasts tired of the same old crowded slopes, our private ski and sail charters put adventure and adrenaline back in your skis. Like any other LUX retreat, this trip is all-inclusive — we take care of everything: 3 meals a day, guides, the program, daily yoga, safety, and help with travel logistics. With our go-anywhere expedition ships, we take you to pristine slopes in some of the wildest locations on Earth. Use the boat as a floating basecamp to explore and ski from, while your expert guide scopes out the perfect mountains to conquer. When you're done for the day, enjoy your après-ski on board, and we'll whisk you off to the next unforgettable run.
