STARTING
POINTS.

Seven shapes a week in this valley can take. Every one gets rebuilt around your dates, your group and your number — they are here to show you what good looks like, not to be bought off the shelf.

How we work

Three levels.
No membership fee.

Concierge services usually sell access. We sell the work. Planning conversations are free at every level, and you only pay for what we actually do.

Base Camp

No fee

Planning is free. Pay only for what we book.

Tell us what you want to do and we will tell you what is possible, when, and what it costs. You book what you like directly; we handle whatever you would rather not. There is no membership, no retainer and no minimum spend.

  • —Unlimited planning conversation by WhatsApp or email
  • —Honest recommendations on bases, timing and conditions
  • —Booking of any individual guide, transfer or table you ask for
  • —A written outline of your trip you can act on yourself

For: Independent travellers who want local knowledge, not a package.

Ridge

Most chosen

from €250 per trip

A designed itinerary, booked end to end, with one person on it.

We build the whole trip — accommodation, guides, transfers, tables, tickets — around your profile and your budget, and hold it together while you are here. One named concierge, a daily conditions read, and a plan B for every weather-dependent day.

  • —Everything in Base Camp
  • —Full day-by-day itinerary designed to your profile
  • —All bookings placed, confirmed and re-confirmed
  • —One named concierge from enquiry to departure
  • —Daily weather, snowpack and conditions call
  • —Alternative plans held for every outdoor day

For: Most guests. Families, couples and groups who want it to simply work.

Summit

from €150 per day

A team in the valley for as long as you are in it.

Full private concierge with someone physically here: meeting you at the airport, running the house, moving the plan when the weather turns, and available at any hour. Butler, chef, nanny, driver and security coordinated as one team.

  • —Everything in Ridge
  • —In-destination duty manager, 24/7
  • —Butler, chef, housekeeping and ski valet coordination
  • —Childcare and nanny scheduling
  • —Close protection and privacy management on request
  • —Daily itinerary reprint and household briefing

For: Large groups, staffed chalets, milestone trips and guests who need privacy.

No membership. No joining fee.

You do not buy your way in. Planning conversations are free, and you only pay for what you book.

We work to your number.

Tell us the budget and we build to it honestly — including telling you when something is not worth the money.

Every professional is licensed here.

IFMGA guides, Italian ski instructors, park guides, ENAC air operators. We publish the qualification next to the activity.

Independent recommendations.

We own no hotels and no guiding company. If a place is wrong for you, we will say so.

One named contact.

The same person from your first message to your last transfer.

Weather is a partner, not a problem.

Every itinerary carries an alternative. We rebuild the day rather than push you into a bad one.
