Chamonix, in France, still leads the other resorts in the Alps by a mile, both in terms of accessible slopes for all standards, and for being one of the few original, genuine, lively and multi-cultural Alpine towns. The skiing and boarding is simply amazing (even after 13 seasons here!).
Porto Pollo in Sardinia is where we’ve been windsurfing, kitesurfing and wakeboarding for the last 9 summers and it‘s equally breathtaking! It is hot, windy, very chilled, very beautiful and really easy to get to. We thought it only fair to share this well kept secret with you!
Chamonix, is a true year round resort busier in August than in February and if anything more famous for its mountaineering and climbing heritage than it is for the skiing. Our chalets, hotel and apartments offer the perfect base for a summer trip to Chamonix for mountain biking, climbing, hiking, rafting, paragliding and even golf!
With over 10 years of experience in 2 incredible locations FTX Holidays are in the perfect position to utilise our local knowledge to put together bespoke trips for specialist groups including weddings, corporate trips and hen/stag weekends.
CHAMONIx Winter
Unlike the purpose built resorts, Chamonix is a beautiful and lively French town full of character and characters, with enough pubs and clubs, bars and cafes to keep even the most energetic of you amused. The mountains and the slopes to be ridden, are quite simply incredible. If you haven't been to Chamonix before you must, if you have, its safe to say you will want to come again and again.
To really get the most out of your trip to Chamonix let FTX Holidays take the strain with a catered holiday. We'll pick you up from the airport, cook you breakfast in the morning, drive you to the slopes, show you around the mountain, bring you home where tea and cakes will be waiting and prepare a 3 course meal with wine while you enjoy the sun setting over Mt Blanc.

Thank you so much for our stay at the chalet. It was superb, we were all gutted we couldn't stay another week!! Ryan & Flo are a real asset to your crew, Ryan's food was outstanding, and Flo was great at front of house. George was a star, great at finding or pointing us in the right direction for finding fresh lines, and for keeping us stoked with tired legs :-) I can't thank you enough, the chalet and service you provide is world class. Can't wait to be back real soon.
