Lunch on a sun terrace
Choose a sheltered spot for lunch or coffee. The winter sun sits low and mountains can shade terraces early, so check sun exposure and whether outdoor seating is open before you go.
Winter activities
Combine skiing or snowboarding with a winter walk and a village break. Check locally which trails, lifts and activities are open, and follow weather and safety advice.
Après-ski with friends
Bring friends together for lunch, dinner or après-ski after the slopes. Pick places and let the group vote; check the dates below for performances and other published events.
