Boys Break

Fancy a few days break to blow off those cobwebs? How about a four day getaway to Northern Italy with your mates. 

Leave behind the stresses of everyday life, as you ski or board down the majestic Mont Blanc or stunning Monterosa mountain range.

Take your flight on a Thursday afternoon from Gatwick to Turin and you’ll be in the mountains to sample those delicious flavours of the Aosta in time for dinner.

You book the flights, and we’ll organise your trip, minimal hassle for you and maximum enjoyment with your mates. With our knowledge and connections, we will advise the most suitable accommodations to suit your needs.

Zuba ski covers Courmayeur, Cervinia, Champoluc, Gressoney and Alagna Valsesia

An example itinerary for your group would look something like this:

Thursday - day 1 - travel and acclimatise

• Take an early afternoon flight from London Gatwick.
• Pick up your transfer from the airport and head directly to your resort.
• Check in to your hotel or bed and breakfast and freshen up.
• Why not head into town and check out the local bars and indulge in those Italian flavours. Will it be pizza, pasta, local dishes, burgers, whatever hits the spot.

Friday - day 2 - equip, explore and ski

• After a hearty breakfast, head to the ski hire shop and pick up your equipment.
• Head up the mountain and explore the pistes.

• Stay connected on the socials for any local event information too.

Saturday - day 3 - discover, dine and delight
