However you ski and whoever you're travelling with, we plan an independent, commission-free Alps trip built around your group. A free first recommendation, then a flat AU$100 for the full plan — yours to take anywhere.
The Alps aren't one holiday — they're hundreds. The skill is matching the right resort, week and setup to the people actually going. Tell us who's coming and we'll do exactly that.
Mixed abilities are the norm, not the exception — and getting them right is what we do best.
Vertical, off-piste and connected lift networks — matched to the conditions and challenge you're after.
Your first trip decides whether you ever come back. We make sure it's gentle, patient and confidence-building.
Skiing Europe doesn't have to mean five-figure price tags. We know where the value hides.
Whoever you're travelling with, the same three calls separate the great trips from the regrettable ones. They're exactly what your plan is built around.
A mountain that thrills the strongest skier can quietly ruin the trip for the youngest, newest or most nervous. We pick for everyone who's actually going.
European school holidays push prices up 50–80% and turn lifts into queues. Aussies don't know to avoid them — and agents have no reason to mention it.
For kids and first-timers it's the single biggest factor in whether they come home wanting to ski again. Pricing varies 3× for similar quality — we know which is which.
Per person, 7 nights, all-in — international flights from an Australian capital, accommodation, lift pass, ski hire, transfers, modest food and lessons. Real numbers, not "from $X" marketing.
I plan every trip the way I'd plan my own — the right mountain for your group, not the resort that pays the biggest commission.

How is this different from a regular travel agent?
Travel agents earn commission from the operators they book through, so the recommendation is shaped by margin — not by what's right for you. AlpineDesk earns nothing from any resort, hotel, airline or ski school. You pay us AU$100, we give you the plan, and you book wherever and however you choose.
What if our group is at very different skiing levels?
This is the most common Australian ski-trip scenario, and exactly what our planning is built for. We pick resorts where mixed-ability groups can split up easily during the day and reunite for lunch and dinner — and where the ski-school structure handles different levels well within the same week.
How long before the trip should we book the plan?
Six months out is ideal — full availability on accommodation and the best flight prices. Three months out still works for most resorts. Closer than that and you'll be limited to whatever's left.
What does the plan actually include?
Everything you need to book with confidence, in one document: a shortlist of destinations suited to your group (not just one), plus the snow data behind each — altitude, aspect and reliability for your dates. Then the detail: where to stay (specific accommodation for your budget and area), where to eat (restaurants, mountain huts and après worth your time), flight routing from your Australian city, transfer options, lift-pass and ski-hire guidance, ski-school comparisons, the best week to go, and our honest final recommendation. It's a flat AU$100 — currently 50% off at AU$50, and you book everything yourself.
What if we don't like the recommendation?
The first recommendation is free — no obligation to proceed. If you don't think it fits, tell us why and we'll send another. If you've paid for the full plan and change your mind before we deliver it, we'll refund in full.
Tell us who's going and how you ski. We'll send a free destination recommendation within 48 hours — no obligation, no upsell, no commission. If you want the full plan, it's a flat AU$100 — currently 50% off at AU$50.
