What we handle
Everything handled. Just enjoy it.
Which mountain, which hotel, which instructor: chosen around your family. Then every part of the trip is handled, from boarding to the last dinner.
Plan a ski trip01
Private Ski Lessons
The instructor is chosen around how your family is made up: levels, ages, the way each of you likes to be taught, even whether a child will ski better with a man or a woman. The network is assembled trip by trip, in every destination we work in.
Includes
- Private lessons in every destination we work in
- From a first day on skis to advanced skiers
- One instructor for the family, or one per level
- Chosen around your family, down to the instructor's gender
02
The Right Hotel
The most expensive hotel is not always the right one. We tell you which hotel suits your family and why: how far it is from the lifts you will use, whether it works with children, what the morning looks like from there.
Includes
- Advice on the hotel, built around your family
- The trade offs explained plainly, before you choose
- Booking and every detail the hotel needs to know
- Where it suits the group: a fully staffed private house
03
Private Houses
For larger families and groups, a private chalet or house, fully staffed and fully catered: chef, housekeeping, driver and nanny, chosen for the size of the group and close to the lifts you will use.
Includes
- Private chalets and houses for families and groups
- Fully catered, with a private chef
- Housekeeping, driver and nanny
- Chosen for its distance to the lifts you will use
04
Private Charter
A private charter when the schedule or the group calls for it, coordinated with every other part of the trip.
Includes
- Private charter flights
- Coordinated with commercial legs on the same itinerary
- Ground transfers at both ends

05
Flights & Transfers
Commercial flights and ground transfers, planned as one movement so the first day is a ski day.

- Ground transfers in every destination
- Private vehicles sized for the group and the luggage
- Luggage and ski equipment planned into every leg
06

- Heli skiing, where the destination offers it
- Cat skiing
- Days off the snow, planned around the family
- Extensions to other destinations by charter

How this works
What we coordinate, and what independent providers deliver.
Patagonia Living
We plan the trip, select and brief the people involved, hold the bookings together and stay reachable as your single point of contact before and during the trip.
Independent providers
Ski instructors, hotels, airlines, transfer companies and experience operators are independent businesses. They deliver their own service under their own terms and conditions, and we coordinate them on your behalf.

Good to know
How the service works.
How does the booking work?
Tell us the trip you have in mind and we will be clear about how the booking works before anything is confirmed. Nothing is charged without your approval.
Are the ski instructors employed by Patagonia Living?
No. The instructor network is assembled trip by trip, and we choose the right person for your family in each destination.
Can you handle only part of a trip?
Yes. Some families book the whole trip, others only the lessons or the transfers. Tell us which parts you want handled and we build around that.
What happens if something changes during the trip?
You have one contact throughout your stay for anything arranged through us, on WhatsApp while you are on the mountain.
