# Oxford Ski Company: full destination and editorial reference > An expanded reference to Oxford Ski Company's services, complete live resort destination hierarchy and selected evergreen editorial content. This is a curated reference, not a transcript of every website page or a live inventory feed. Reviewed: 6 October 2026. Source website: https://www.oxfordski.com/. The concise entry point is https://www.oxfordski.com/llms.txt. Sources are linked beside the relevant summaries and descriptions. ## Company and service context Oxford Ski Company is a specialist luxury travel agency founded in 1998 by Rupert Longsdon. It advises on chalet and hotel holidays, representing accommodation providers rather than operating the whole portfolio. Its main ski destinations are France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Andorra, the United States, Canada and Japan. The team's approach is based on first-hand destination and property experience. Alpine Intelligence is the company's name for this human expertise and personalised judgement. Relevant client needs include ski ability, children's ages, party size, room configuration, preferred dining arrangements, ski access and time of travel. The aim is to match the resort and accommodation to the party, rather than assume that every featured property suits every traveller. The official enquiry telephone is +44 1865 817 420; the contact page below provides enquiry and callback options. The current booking conditions identify the business as Oxford Travel Collection Limited, trading as Oxford Ski Company. The Experience Team helps with pre-arrival arrangements such as transfers, ski lessons, restaurant recommendations and spa bookings. The concierge service is described as complimentary, subject to qualifications for some self-catered bookings. The cost of a transfer, lesson, treatment or other separately booked service should not be inferred to be included in the accommodation price. ### Reading and using the reference - For resort research, follow the appropriate country and resort links below. Resort pages can represent a village, a group of villages or a wider ski area. - For property facts, follow links from the destination pages or chalet and hotel portfolios to the individual property page. Confirm dates, nights, currency, price basis, bedroom configuration, occupancy, catering, inclusions, exclusions and ski access directly when preparing a proposal. - For trip planning, use the selected editorial guides. Recommendations, superlatives and rankings are the company's editorial judgement, not independent accreditation or guarantees. - For transactions, use current booking conditions and the supplier terms applicable to the particular booking. This reference does not restate contractual rights or confirm financial protection for every booking. - General seasonal advice does not establish current snow conditions, lift operations, resort opening dates or off-piste safety. Verify those details with the relevant current sources. - The linked live page and a confirmed quotation take precedence over a dated summary here. Contact the team if information is unclear or inconsistent. ## Company, expertise and contact sources - [Oxford Ski Company](https://www.oxfordski.com/): Official website for specialist ski travel, chalet and hotel holidays. - [Our story](https://www.oxfordski.com/more/about-us/): Company history, founded in 1998, and its role as a specialist travel agency. - [Alpine Intelligence](https://www.oxfordski.com/more/alpine-intelligence/): How first-hand resort and property experience informs personalised recommendations. - [Why book through Oxford Ski Company](https://www.oxfordski.com/more/9-reasons-to-book-through-us/): The company's explanation of its expertise, advice and booking service. - [Meet the team](https://www.oxfordski.com/more/meet-the-team/): Specialists, their experience and areas of expertise. - [Experience Team and pre-arrival concierge](https://www.oxfordski.com/more/concierge/): Support with transfers, lessons and other arrangements; some self-catered bookings have service qualifications. - [Contact Oxford Ski Company](https://www.oxfordski.com/contact-hub/): Enquiries, tailored recommendations and confirmation of current property details. ## Accommodation portfolios - [Luxury ski chalets](https://www.oxfordski.com/luxury-ski-chalets/): Chalet portfolio and links to individual properties. - [Self-catered chalets and apartments](https://www.oxfordski.com/luxury-self-catered-chalets/): Accommodation for guests seeking independent dining and flexible arrangements. - [Luxury ski hotels](https://www.oxfordski.com/luxury-ski-hotels/): Hotel portfolio and links to individual hotels. ## Complete resort destination hierarchy Country hubs sit above the resort destination pages.
