A Stoke ski trip – but make it fine wine

If you’ve skied Andorra with us, you already know: Stoke does mountain madness better than anyone. Good people, big laughs, maximum fun from the moment you arrive. But sometimes you want to take it up a notch – stay in a private chalet, eat like a local, sip something fancy before you party your face off. This is that trip. Welcome to Ski & Wine Week — still Stoke, just elevated.

A catered, chaotic, delicious week in the Alps

Picture this: you’ve been shredding Europe’s highest glacier all day, après’d hard at Pano Bar, and now you’re back in our private lodge slipping into something a little more chic. You gather around the fire with the crew while our chef serves mountain cheese and the sommelier pours champagne. The chalet smells like fondue and roast duck. You eat. You drink. You laugh. And then you do it all again tomorrow.

With wine tastings, games, and a touch of education

Every night, our friends at Swallow Don’t Spit Wine take you through a fun and unpretentious exploration of French wines. Think blind tastings, region vs. region, food pairings, and cheeky wine trivia. Expect to drink a lot, learn a little, and maybe find out what makes Champagne… well, Champagne.

By the end of the week, you’ll know your Burgundy from your Bordeaux – and still be buzzing in time for charades or a 2AM club crawl. Probably both.

Stay in our private chalet in Les Deux Alpes

This wooden wonderland is just for us – a ski-in chalet with fireplace, balconies, and private rooms with ensuite bathrooms. It sleeps 14 in a layout that’s perfect for couples, crews, or solo party animals. If you roll with a crew of four, ask us about group pricing. The kitchen’s always open for coffee breaks and snack raids, and it’s where we gather for all meals, tastings, and tall tales.

Ski or board Les Deux Alpes – 200km of pure glory

Les Deux Alpes is big. 200+ kms of runs, 3600m glacier, 42 lifts, and 10km descents. Ride powder at the top, spring slush at the bottom, and everything in between. It’s like Andorra… on steroids. If you want to take it slow, go half-day. If you’re here to charge, good luck finding the bottom before lunch.

And yes, of course – the après-ski & nightlife

This is Stoke. Après isn’t optional. We kick things off daily at the legendary Pano Bar (2600m of table-dancing chaos), then slide down to Umbrella Bar for round two. Evenings take us to Smithy’s, The Red Frog, or if you’re still standing, L’Avalanche Club to close it out in true Stoke fashion.

Plus now with Rise Festival

For our inaugural trip of the 2025/26 season we’re teaming up with Rise Festival to offer you six nights and seven days of skiing and music. Rise brings more than 80 artists to “party on top of the world” over three outdoor main stages, indoor venues and après party zones. These long music festivals can be tough – especially when combined with days of skiing and boarding – so let us take care of you, feed you French food, and provide all the fancy wine for you, while you reset in our spa and sauna in our central private chalets. You just worry about enjoying yourselves and we’ll take care of the rest.
