The advent calendar that leads to the perfect Alpine Christmas

Think of Christmas and chances are you'll conjure up images of a blanket of snow, fragrant pine trees, eating too much and spending quality time with friends and family.

Put like that, it's a description that could just as easily apply to the perfect ski holiday.

So it's little wonder that many VIP SKI guests have already booked to combine their favourite sport with their favourite time of year, surrounded by their favourite people.

Those planning a festive break with the luxury ski operator this winter can expect a cracker of a holiday with all the trimmings plus the perfect gift of all - a guaranteed white Christmas. And, with so many family-friendly resorts to choose from all decked out for the yuletide season, those little elves needn't worry about being missed by Santa either.

To get outdoor enthusiasts in the festive spirit, VIP SKI has put together its own Alpine advent calendar to help merry-makers enjoy the Christmas countdown.
