  The Oxford Ski Company are proud to be supporting Disability Snowsports UK for the third year in a row. A team of six from our office made up of keen skiers are taking on the challenge of the Skiathon! On the 11^th June 2013, our team will have to ski 666 runs in 6 hours at the Milton Keynes Sno!Zone dressed as Heroes! Our Heroes of choice will be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thanks to the creative thinking from our sixth member, Jon West from Altitude Ski School in Verbier, who we are very lucky to have on our team!

  We would love to raise as much money as possible for the brilliant and totally worth while cause, so please dig deep and help us raise a staggering donation to this help this excellent charity.

• Welcome back Chalet Chineur

  Tuesday May 7, 2013 by Franki Hutchins

  

  Here at The Oxford Ski Company we are excited to announce that one of our favourite luxury ski chalets is making its way back onto our 2013/2014 portfolio having been off the rental market for the last couple of seasons.

  If you like life's little luxuries but you are fed up of seeing the more modern chalets with their super chic designs then Chalet Chineur in Verbier is for you!

  This extremely comfortable chalet offers traditional Swiss style at its best with a homely atmosphere and exciting antique pieces that are sure to catch your eye. You can cosy up next to the fire after a long day on the mountain and feel like you really are in The Alps. If that isn't enough then a week of exceptional service and catering will ensure that you will leave feeling truly spoilt.

  Weekly rates are from £1,243 per person based on 8 sharing. 

  For more information speak to one of the chalet team on +44 1993 899 421 or make an enquiry. 

• Annelies in Verbier

  Wednesday May 1, 2013 by George Webb

  

  On a recent trip to Verbier we took the chance to visit a relatively new addition to our portfolio, luxury ski chalet Annelies. Completed last summer, this property has a master double bedroom, two further double bedrooms, and a fantastic bunk bedroom sleeping 4, all en-suite,  which makes it perfect for 6 adults and 4 children.

  The property is well located on the Rue du Golf, giving panoramic views over the resort and easy access to all that Verbier has to offer. Your dedicated driver will be waiting in the garage with a warm vehicle, and from there it is just a one minute drive to the children's nursery slope at Les Esserts  and  3 or 4 minutes to the new 6 man covered chairlift at Carrefour, which allows you to skip the queues (and the stairs!) at Medran. The Savoleyres bubble lift is also a 2 minute walk from the chalet.

  The interior has been fitted using antique woods and natural stone matched with the highest quality fixtures and fittings. The result is an immaculate property with every modern comfort which has the character of a traditional family ski chalet.

  The high quality of the property is matched by the service which includes an experienced chef and chalet host, dedicated driver, 2 days of private ski instruction, and 3 hours of massage. Children's suppers, drinks and canapés, three course dinners and quality house wines are included on six nights.

  For more information give me a call on +44 1993 899 421 or make an enquiry.

• The Elves

  Tuesday April 23, 2013 by Harriet Tetlow

  

  Les Lutins or 'The Elves' is a super little luxury ski chalet in Verbier. Perfectly formed, it sits in an elevated position in the curiously named 'Swedish quarter'. I didn't manage to spot any Swedes whilst visiting, but I was certainly impressed. Though it doesn't necessarily boast vast amounts of space, Les Lutins definitely feels luxurious - the double height aspect to the living room is very inviting to say the least and with a second living area you are spoilt for 'chill out' space - perfect for two families where a bit of adult / child separation is required. Bedrooms are cosy and comfortable and you are spoilt further with a sunken hot tub downstairs. If you're looking for a bit of fur-lined, traditional alpine indulgence, then this should definitely be on your must visit list - great chalet, great service, great find.

  Rental prices start from £1,960 per person, per week on a catered basis.
