How to Celebrate Valentine's Day on your ski holiday

Here are ten unique ways to celebrate love amidst the snowy slopes and stunning vistas:

1 Private Night Skiing Adventure

Picture this: just you and your partner, the starlit sky, and the pristine slopes all to yourselves. It's a serene and intimate experience that takes skiing to a whole new level. Arrange for a private night skiing session and glide down the slopes with the stars as your only witness.

2 Relax with a Couples Spa Day

Skiing is exhilarating, but it can also be taxing on the body. What better way to unwind than a spa day? Imagine a couples massage or a private sauna session with breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains. It’s relaxation and romance rolled into one.

3 Secluded Mountain Top Picnic

Swap the busy restaurant scene for a quiet picnic atop the mountains. Pack a hamper with local delicacies – think fine cheeses, artisanal chocolates, and maybe a bottle of bubbly. Find a secluded spot with a view, lay down your blanket, and enjoy a meal with a panorama that can't be beaten.

4 Snowshoe to a Romantic Cabin

For adventurous couples, a guided snowshoe hike to a secluded cabin or mountain-top restaurant could be the highlight of your Valentine's Day. Picture a quaint restaurant in the woods, a warm fire, and a cosy dinner for two. It's a chance to disconnect and focus on each other in a setting straight out of a fairy tale.

5 Sunrise or Sunset Hot Air Balloon Ride

Elevate your Valentine’s Day with a hot air balloon ride. As you ascend, witness either the first light of day casting a golden glow over the snowy peaks or the sky turning hues of pink and orange at sunset. It’s a breathtaking experience that symbolizes the heights of your love.

6 Ice Skating Under the Stars

Many ski resorts, including ours in La Plagne, feature outdoor ice rinks. There’s something timelessly romantic about holding hands and gliding on ice, especially under an open sky and stars. It’s a simple yet intimate activity, perfect for Valentine’s Day. 

7 Join a Torchlight Descent

A torchlight descent is not just spectacular to participate in but also to watch. Skiers descend the slopes with lit torches, creating a mesmerising river of light. It’s a unique tradition that adds a touch of magic to the evening.

8 Dine at a High-Altitude Restaurant

For a culinary adventure, head to a mountain restaurant. Accessible only by ski or snowmobile, these eateries offer gourmet meals with a side of stunning panoramic views. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and fine dining.

9 Romantic Sleigh Ride

Imagine being whisked away in a horse-drawn sleigh, wrapped in a blanket with your loved one. It’s a nod to classic romance and a perfect way to enjoy the serene beauty of the snow-covered landscapes.

10 Hot Tub Stargazing

Cap off your day by unwinding in a hot tub under the open sky. If you’ve booked a chalet with a hot tub – perfect! If not, then check out some of the great public spas you can head to. However, most of these aren’t open at night, so it might have to be a romantic hot tub during the day.
