New Year’s Week

Meeting someone like Alex is honestly rare — and something you really come to appreciate. I feel incredibly lucky I got to experience this ski trip across three countries with him.

The skiing was everything I hoped for — and more. Blue skies, amazing snow, and a new place almost every day. What really stood out, though, was how effortless it all felt. Alex handled everything — where to go, when to go, rentals, restaurants — even helping on the slopes when needed. You just show up and enjoy.
But what surprised me most was everything around the skiing. New Year’s Eve in Courmayeur was unforgettable — great food, wine, music, and such a fun, beautiful atmosphere. Then celebrating again back at the chalet… it felt special without trying too hard.

We also did a spa day on January 1st, which was exactly what we needed after a few active days. And the evenings — those might’ve been my favorite part. Cozy dinners, great conversations, oysters, champagne… everything just flowed naturally.

Now I’m looking at the photos, smiling — and already thinking about coming back.
Alex, thank you for this experience. It really meant a lot.

April 3–9

This year, I was lucky to spend time with such a wonderful group of people — once again brought together by Alex, this time in the Alps! It felt so special to reconnect, especially knowing that many of us had already traveled with him in Chamonix before — some more than once.

Simply put, people come back for Alex. You know that everything — absolutely everything — will be taken care of at the highest level. And then there’s the people: those who love skiing and the mountains, great company, full of energy and fun. Our chalet, the incredible food, the chance to truly unwind… evenings with songs and a guitar after skiing in some of the most beautiful places — and even the weather was perfect! It’s amazing how Alex brings together such different people and turns them into one close-knit group.

Thank you for such a wonderful time, for the warm hospitality, and for taking such great care of everyone. Looking forward to seeing you again in the seasons ahead.

These eight days were absolutely unreal!!! The views, the energy of the group, and the way Alex brings everything together — it all turns into something truly unforgettable.

Every year, people come to these trips from all over the world — and this time I finally got to experience it myself. And honestly, it exceeded everything I expected!!!

What really stood out is the mix of people. Different backgrounds, different stories — but somehow everyone just clicks. There’s this shared love for the mountains, for skiing, for enjoying life… and it creates an atmosphere you feel right away.

And of course, Alex is a huge part of it. Everything is thought through — from the overall flow of the trip to the smallest details. You don’t have to think about anything, you just enjoy every moment.

I came back not just with better skiing, but with new friends, new experiences, and memories that will stay with me for a long time.

Alex, thank you — I truly appreciate what you do 🤝

Emily & David, Seattle, WA

January 5–11

My husband and I are complete opposites when it comes to skiing. If you compare it to driving — I’m the one cruising slowly in the right lane, and he’s the one speeding in the fast lane.

That’s exactly how we ski — he goes for black runs, while I stay on blues (sometimes reds) and take my time choosing what feels comfortable.
What surprised me most is how smoothly this all worked during the trip. Alex has an incredible ability to read people and adapt to each of us. With David, he was exploring faster, more challenging slopes — and with me, he slowed things down, guided me, and helped build my confidence step by step.

And it’s not just about skiing. It’s the small things — knowing exactly where to stop for coffee, where to find the best desserts, when to take a break, when to keep going. Everything just feels effortless.

There were 10 of us, and we didn’t know each other before the trip — but by the end, it felt like we were all family. It turned into this kind of "chalet brotherhood," and Alex was the one who brought everyone together.

We were also lucky with the weather — sunshine almost every day and perfect snow on the slopes. No ice, no stress — just pure skiing. And then the chalet… the spa, the fireplace, the evenings together — it all completed the experience.

Alex, thank you for everything — the slopes, the atmosphere, the people, the care. It truly meant a lot. We’ll definitely be back!

At one point my luggage was delayed by the airline and only arrived the next day — but I didn’t feel any stress at all. Alex immediately arranged everything I needed, and I didn’t miss a single moment of the first ski day. That level of care really says everything.

Honestly… I don’t even have enough words to describe how amazing this trip was!!! The energy, the feeling — you have to experience it yourself. And the craziest part is that every single day somehow felt even better than the one before. Every single day!!!

I’m writing this now and still feel those emotions all over again. I can’t recommend Alex’s tours enough — truly. If you’re even thinking about going — just do it. You’ll understand everything once you’re there. I’m already thinking about coming back ❤️

I came across Alex’s tours on Instagram back in 2018 — and I’m honestly so grateful I did. At the time, I just scrolled past, thinking "wow, that looks amazing"… but didn’t save it or act on it.

The idea of skiing across three countries and staying in a chalet with a view of Mont Blanc didn’t even feel real to me at first. But once I started seriously considering it, everything quickly fell into place.

As soon as I reached out, Alex got back to me right away — sent a detailed program, walked me through everything, answered all my questions. I took my time deciding, but what really stood out was how clearly and professionally everything was explained. You could feel the experience behind it.

And once I finally went — it exceeded every expectation I had. Truly.

The chalet itself is incredible — spa, jacuzzi, sauna, fireplace… and those cozy evenings with wine, cheese, and aperitifs. Sometimes even with locals joining — which made everything feel even more authentic. You can really tell how well Alex is known in the area. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed like close friends — the best tables, a warm atmosphere, and those small details that make all the difference.

February 1–7

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my experience from this ski trip to Chamonix with Alex and Tatiana — it was truly incredible. If you’re looking for real skiing in the Alps, without limits, you’ve absolutely found the right place. A little about me — I’ve been skiing for over 15 years and have tried many different destinations, so my expectations were pretty high. And honestly, this trip exceeded all of them.

The group was amazing — such great people, and by the end it felt like we’d known each other forever. The chalet itself was incredibly comfortable — fireplace, sauna, jacuzzi, everything you could possibly need after a full day on the slopes. But what really stands out here is the skiing. Every single day we explored a new area — different resorts, new slopes, incredible variety. You don’t get bored for a second. It felt completely different from a typical ski trip.

And beyond skiing, the whole experience was beautifully put together. It wasn’t just a ski trip — it also felt like a true culinary journey. We had reservations at amazing restaurants both on the mountain and in the valley, which made everything feel effortless and enjoyable.

Huge thanks to Tatiana as well — she brought such a warm, positive energy and was always there whenever we needed anything. Honestly, as I’m writing this, I keep thinking — if too many people find out about this, there won’t be any spots left next season! So if you’re considering it… don’t wait too long. Just book it 😊

Alex, hi! Ever since I got back, I can’t shake this feeling… like I didn’t fully finish the experience, like there’s still more to discover. It honestly feels like leaving the table just a little bit hungry.

There’s so much in Chamonix — way more than you can fit into a single trip. My first one already felt incredible, but I can tell the next one will be even deeper and more meaningful.

I even ended up getting new ski boots at one of the best bootfitting shops in Chamonix — highly recommend! And special thanks to Amanda for helping with that. The jacuzzi at the chalet, with that insane Mont Blanc view… something I’ll remember for a long time. And on the non-ski days — the excursions were just as impressive. Visiting Château de Chillon in Montreux, Switzerland was such a highlight.

This trip really stays with you. And it definitely makes you want to come back for more! ✨

Jason, Denver

February 1–7

Spent an incredible two weeks in Chamonix, in the French Alps, with Alex and Tatiana. In that time, we explored so many amazing slopes, enjoyed perfect weather, and significantly improved our skiing.

Personally, I even discovered something new — freeride — and absolutely loved it. I’d recommend this experience to anyone. It’s truly unforgettable and such a unique way to spend your time in the mountains.
Thank you!

Sophie, Vancouver

New Year’s Week 

A lot has already been said about how incredible the skiing is… but for me, this trip was really about something deeper — the people and the connections we built. We were all adults, each with our own personalities, habits, and ways of doing things. Of course, we came to ski — but we also lived together, celebrated New Year’s, cooked, laughed, and shared everyday moments.

When eight different people live under one roof, you’d expect some friction. But what really stood out to me was how Alex brought everyone together. He has a natural ability to connect people, smooth things over, listen, and create a real sense of "we." That’s not something you can fake. At one point, after a long day on the mountain, even a simple conversation was enough to reset everything — and somehow bring back that light, easy feeling again.

By the end of the trip, it felt like we weren't just a group anymore — we were a team. Like one living, breathing unit, where everything felt natural, comfortable, and genuinely supportive.
And that’s what made this experience so special.

Emma, Seattle

February 10–16

"What could be better than the mountains? Only more mountains." That’s exactly what I thought — and that’s how this trip began. All that was left was to figure out where to go… and somehow, I came across Alex’s tour. The timing couldn’t have been better — I saw it, joined, and that was it. Mountains, sunshine, different ski areas across multiple countries, incredible slopes — I was absolutely blown away!!!

Before this trip, I never even imagined I’d try freeride. But with Alex’s guidance, I realized it’s totally possible — and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the whole experience. It was such an amazing trip — new people, great energy, and so many unforgettable moments. Truly one of those experiences that stays with you.

Thank you for an incredible vacation, for all the positivity, and for so many emotions!!!

January 5–11

We ended up joining Alex’s Ski Safari almost on a whim… and looking back, not for a single moment did we regret it.

It felt unexpected for us, because we’ve traveled a lot and usually plan everything ourselves — especially ski trips. We’ve always put together our own groups of friends, sometimes quite large ones, and thought that was the only way to do it. But this year, for January, we couldn’t get a group together and were about to skip the trip altogether. And then… this came up.

What really caught our attention was a combination of things:

The ability to choose ski areas based on weather, snow conditions, wind, and overall feel — basically everything that matters.
Not having to make those decisions ourselves.
The reviews, which felt genuinely trustworthy.
The fact that this was a completely new kind of experience for us.
And, of course, our conversation with Alex, which cleared up any remaining doubts — including things like ability level, comfort, and overall expectations.

Looking back, it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made for a ski trip.

Ashley, Miami

February 1–7

We made the decision to join Alex’s trip pretty quickly. My husband and I were looking for a way to ski in France, but not on our own — we wanted to be around like-minded people. Then we came across Ski Safari in Chamonix on Instagram.

I went through the website, filled out the form, and Alex personally reached out and answered all my questions. From the very first conversation, I felt like everything would work out. What really convinced us was the idea of skiing in different places every day — across France, Italy, and Switzerland.

Of course, we had some doubts at first — especially around sending money and trusting someone we hadn’t met yet. But the reviews, photos, and videos from past trips helped a lot. And Alex even offers the option to book through an agency if that feels more comfortable.

Before the trip, everyone was added to a WhatsApp group, which made it so easy to connect in advance. By the time we arrived, it already felt like we knew each other.

The group turned out to be amazing — active, easygoing, and always up for anything. Early mornings, full ski days, and then spontaneous plans after — exploring towns, going to thermal spas, or just enjoying time together.

Even cooking became part of the experience. Everyone brought something to the table — literally. We had everything from homemade dishes to incredible dinners together, and even a special final evening organized by Alex.

And honestly, we were always well-fed and in great spirits :) But the most important part was the overall energy of the trip. Every single person got exactly what they were looking for — great weather, fresh snow, freeride opportunities, perfectly chosen slopes.

The way Alex adjusted plans each morning based on conditions was seriously impressive. And not just on the slopes — he always knew the best restaurants, the right places to go, and how to make every day feel effortless. Evenings were just as fun — music, stories, laughter, sauna, jacuzzi… everything felt natural and easy, like we’d known each other forever.

We came back completely recharged — full of energy, great memories, and real connections. I truly fell in love with our group — already miss everyone so much and really hope we’ll see each other again! Alex, thank you so much for this experience. Hopefully, we’ll be back to your chalet again soon! 😊

January 23–29

Having traveled to many countries and experienced different types of ski trips, I couldn’t help but compare this one to everything we’d done before. We’ve stayed in chalets in the Alps, done our own ski safaris, and traveled with both friends and new people…

But what truly made this trip stand out was Alex. He doesn’t just love these places — he makes you fall in love with them too. The way he takes care of you feels incredibly personal, like being welcomed by family. Every detail is thoughtfully handled so you can simply relax and enjoy.

Everything was thought through down to the smallest detail — from choosing the best ski areas based on conditions to making sure everyone felt taken care of. Such a smooth, effortless experience!

Thank you for such a seamless and unforgettable experience. And it was a pleasure meeting such wonderful people along the way.

Andrew, Vancouver

February 27 – March 5

This was already my fifth season in Chamonix, and what keeps surprising me most is the contrast. On one hand, everything feels familiar — and on the other, each trip brings something completely new, often where you least expect it.

Each trip includes a new freeride program, and even after just a few days, you can feel a real improvement in your skiing. The Alps, the food — whether French or Italian — great wine, and a jacuzzi outdoors with a view of Mont Blanc… it completely takes you out of everyday life.

There’s something about this experience that adds a new dimension to how you see things. I’d say it’s especially valuable for anyone looking for more variety — or simply more intensity — in life.

Sergey & Alina, Montreal

March 16–22

This one goes out to all ski lovers. It’s been a week since we got back from France, and aside from physically being home, part of us is still there — in Chamonix, in that beautiful chalet, surrounded by genuinely warm and welcoming people. We still remember how quickly we made the decision back in October — we came across Alex and Tatiana’s offer online and booked without hesitation.

To say we made the right choice would be an understatement — it felt like a dream. Incredible skiing, great company, and unforgettable evenings together. It brought back that feeling we had the very first time we ever skied in the mountains.

What really stood out was the experience Alex and Tatiana create — their deep knowledge of the Alps, the way everything is planned around the best conditions, and how effortlessly they make the whole trip feel. Every day felt better than the last — new resorts, untouched snow, great restaurants… it’s hard to even put it all into words.

We’re already planning to come back next season — the same group, no question. Huge thank you to Alex and Tatiana — it was truly something special.

P. S. Next time, we’re coming fully prepared for even more adventure.

Anna, Chicago

February 19–25

Planning a ski trip had been on my mind since the fall — and that’s how I came across this unique France-Italy-Switzerland experience with Alex.

From the very first message — "We're looking forward to welcoming you. Hope your skis are ready and your soul is already heading to the mountains" — you could feel this would be something special.

And it truly was. Twelve incredible days on some of the most beautiful slopes in the Alps — from Chamonix to Courmayeur — surrounded by breathtaking views and constantly changing scenery. But what made the experience unforgettable were the moments in between.

A warm welcome on arrival with local cheese and prosecco. Evenings by the fireplace in a cozy chalet overlooking Mont Blanc, visits to traditional Savoyard restaurants, oysters and champagne, and relaxing in the jacuzzi… it all felt like something out of a dream.

Every detail felt thoughtful, natural, and effortless. And then there were the people — the energy, the conversations, the atmosphere that brought everything together. The trip flew by far too quickly, but it left something lasting — a sense of joy, connection, and memories we’ll carry with us for a long time. Truly grateful to everyone who made this experience what it was.

Natalia, Boston

March 25–31

A true winter fairytale. Even two weeks after returning from Chamonix, part of me is still there. I’ve been calling it my own version of “social freeride” — an experience that stays with you long after the trip is over.

For almost two years, I had been following Alex’s tours, but never seriously considered joining — I usually traveled with my own group. This time, things worked out differently, and I decided to go with people I had never met before.

At first, it felt unusual — spending two weeks with strangers. But it quickly turned out to be one of the best parts of the experience. Everyone was open, interesting, and genuinely enjoying life. No one talked about work — just mountains, skiing, and the moment.

What makes this format so special is the flexibility — choosing the best ski areas each day based on conditions, guided by real local expertise. The chalet was beautiful, the setting in the Alps incredible, and there was more snow than I had ever seen. It also turned into a bit of a culinary journey — from incredible dinners to a memorable oyster evening. And, of course, the people made it all even better.

I didn’t join the freeride school myself, but I was truly impressed by those who did — watching their progress was inspiring. And special thanks to Alex for his coaching and support. This is a trip for those who want more than just a vacation — for those who want to grow, experience something new, and truly feel the mountains.

Thank you to everyone for such a memorable time. And a special thank you to Tatiana — her energy, warmth, and positivity bring everything together.

Sarah, Denver

March 16–22

I love the mountains and skiing — and that’s probably how I ended up joining Alex’s group in Chamonix. And I can honestly say: I don't regret a single thing. Not the time, not the money — nothing. I absolutely loved it.

This isn’t for everyone, though. It’s for people who genuinely want to ski — improve their technique, build confidence, and are ready to start early and make the most of each day. That’s the kind of group this attracts. And the group was incredible.

Everyone was supportive, easygoing, and genuinely fun to be around. I had only joined Alex’s tours once before, while many others had been multiple times — and you immediately understand why. I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone — for the support, kindness, and such a great group. And a special thank you to Alex for making this trip happen and running it so seamlessly.

There were so many memorable moments — from great days on the mountain to dinners, celebrations, and just spending time together. The freeride program, the guides, the atmosphere — everything came together perfectly.
This trip had everything: progress, unforgettable moments, and that feeling of truly living the experience.

If you're looking for a ski trip that’s active, meaningful, and surrounded by the right people — this is it. See you next season.

Lauren, Dallas

Christmas Week 

For me, spending the holidays in Chamonix felt like pure magic. We arrived just after the first snowfall of the season — perfect timing — and everything about the trip felt special from the very beginning.

The chalet was incredibly cozy — panoramic windows, a fireplace, a jacuzzi, and stunning views of Mont Blanc. And, of course, an amazing group of people who came together to ski and celebrate the New Year in the Alps. Everything was effortless. No need to think about logistics — Alex planned each day around the best conditions, and by 8 AM we were already heading out for another great day on the mountain.

Every day brought something new — different slopes, new views, new experiences. I even discovered freeride for myself and finally understood why skiers are always chasing fresh snow. Beyond skiing, there was so much more — evening walks in Chamonix, a thermal spa day in Italy, a trip to Annecy… the kind of New Year you actually remember. I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to this amazing group — and especially to Alex and the team — for the cozy evenings, the laughter, the positive energy, and all the great moments we shared together.

And of course, the people made it unforgettable — the laughter, the conversations, the atmosphere.

I truly hope to come back again. Some experiences you just have to live through — photos don’t even come close.

Daniel, Denver

March 16–22

I joined Alex’s final group of the season in mid-March — and honestly, it turned out to be an incredible experience.

What Alex offers is something I hadn’t seen in all my years of skiing — in just 7 days you get to ski multiple areas across Chamonix, each one feeling like a separate resort, plus places outside the valley like Megève and Courmayeur. And everything is chosen based on the best weather and snow conditions.
I was the only one in the group interested in off-piste, so I basically ended up with a private guide. Instead of the classic Vallée Blanche, Alex talked me out of it (it was already tracked out) and suggested a much more interesting route from Grand Montets — steeper, more technical, and definitely more exciting.

We got incredibly lucky with the weather — out of 7 ski days, 2 were full powder days, which is rare for March. To compare, last season I only caught conditions like that a few times over several weeks. The best days were right after snowfall in Courmayeur — huge open fields, untouched snow, blue skies… it’s hard to describe, even photos don’t capture it.

The chalet was amazing — panoramic windows facing Mont Blanc, a jacuzzi right outside, and a quiet natural setting. Even deer walking around nearby. And yes — two local cats that completely ignore you :)

And of course, the main person behind all of this — Alex. He lives for the mountains, and you can feel it. Every run, every decision, every detail — there’s real passion behind it, and he shares it with everyone in the group.
Looking forward to coming back next season.

Michael & Laura, Austin

March 7–13

We just got back and couldn’t wait to share our experience. It was one of those trips that stays with you — bright, active, and honestly unforgettable. We’re snowboarders, and this was already our sixth trip to the Alps, but the first time in this format. So we came in with pretty clear expectations — and also some concerns.

We were a bit worried about staying in a chalet without the kind of service we’re used to, being with people we didn’t know, and the idea of long daily drives. And what did we actually get? An absolutely incredible vacation in every possible way.

Here’s what stood out the most:

The chalet
Spacious, cozy, and fully equipped — everything you need to feel comfortable right away.

The people
That’s really the best way to describe our group. Completely different backgrounds, but all interesting, thoughtful, fun, and supportive.
Huge thank you to everyone — and to Alex, who somehow brings together such amazing people.

The off-slope days
With this level of activity, those breaks are essential. The spa and the trip to Annecy were exactly what we needed — relaxing, beautiful, and just added another layer to the experience.

The food
Without Alex, we honestly wouldn’t have discovered half of these places. He opens the door to the real culinary side of France and Italy.
And the final dinner… exceeded every expectation — fresh oysters, Chablis, a warm atmosphere, laughter, and that feeling you don’t want the trip to end.

The skiing
Impossible to fully describe — you have to experience it.
We skied completely different areas, something you just can’t do in a standard trip. The drives never felt tiring — great music and incredible views made them part of the experience.

Every day — new slopes, new landscapes, new experiences. Whether you’re into perfectly groomed runs or off-piste, everything is possible here.

Alex — thank you for such a well-organized and thoughtfully planned trip. You truly deliver on what you promise.
And a special thank you to Tatiana — for the warmth, energy, and the feeling of a real family atmosphere.
We’ll definitely be back.
