Hotel Aurelio’s winter season starts this year on November 26 – and the Pure Luxury offer is perfectly timed to experience this stunning spa chalet found on the ski slopes of Lech. Guests will be picked up from Zurich or Munich airport by private helicopter, and upon arrival welcomed with a glass of ice-cold champagne before checking into one of the hotel’s huge Aurelio suites. In the evening, a five-course dinner at Aurelio’s, (the hotel restaurant) awaits, designed by Executive Chef, Christian Rescher, (renowned for spoiling guests with his internationally-acclaimed creations). The next day guests are picked up by their own private ski instructor to explore Lech’s slopes. For those who want pure relaxation, a soothing massage at the award-winning Aurelio spa is just one option to end an unforgettable day of active outdoor pursuits. The evening then turns romantic: tucked warmly into a horse drawn sleigh, guests can experience a winter wonderland by night – perfect to build an appetite for Aurelio’s special candle light fondue dinner, perhaps. On their final day guests are invited to try out a new winter sports experience: ride a Segway on snow and ice and explore the awesome winter scenery in a whole new way.

Price of the Hotel Aurelio Luxury Package for two guests, including all above services and ski pass, half-board, and accommodation in an Aurelio Suite: starts at € 8,000 – valid for stays from the middle of December to end of April, high season not included, subject to availability. There is a heli-pad near the Hotel and key airports include: Altenrhein, Friedrichshafen, Innsbruck and Zurich. Visit www.aureliolech.com.

Residences MGM becomes Pierre & Vacances Premium (this also includes some existing Pierre & Vacances residences and the ex Intrawest residences in Arc 1950 and Flaine Montsoleil). The Pierre & Vacances Premium residences offer superior accommodation, leisure facilities, spa treatments, free wifi, and additional catering services.

Pas de la Casa ski resort

Activity Breaks, a leading independently operated provider of action packed short breaks across Europe, have launched some of the best value Andorra Ski breaks available online thanks to their strategic partnership with Andorran giants, Grandvalira.

We can vouch for the great value of an Activity Breaks holiday as several years we took the opportunity to visit Puy St Vincent for a completely bargain price including lift passes. Of course every accommodation is different, but ours was superb considering what we paid, and it was ski in ski out. Activity Breaks deals really are good value.

On the Activity Breaks website you can now find some great deals for some of the most sought after skiing spots in Andorra, including areas such as the Soldeu, El Tarter and El Canillo, and Pas de la Casa. On offer are package deals in apartments, hotels and more, with some packages offering ski passes and access to fitness and spa facilities. As of writing this article, there is a deal on the website for £228 per person in Pas de la Casa for self catering accommodation including Grandvalira lift passes.

Ester Serviu of Grandvalira says of the launch: “We’ve been working with Activity Breaks to offer our high-quality ski and snowboard breaks and ski holidays to a new type of mass market, available only through Activity Breaks.”

“The success of Activity Breaks in ski regions across Europe has been phenomenal, more successful than we were prepared for if we’re honest. This success has brought learning curves and, more importantly, it has contributed a lot to the bottom line,” comments Dearbhaile Mulholland, Commercial Manager of Activity Breaks . “We have learned a lot from this experience, who our customers are and what they want. If we can replicate this success for the resorts now offered with the Grandvalira relationship then it’ll be an excellent ski season for everyone involved, not just ourselves but for customers and service providers on the ground there.”
