Packaging a holiday in the Alps as anything other than what it truly is - luxurious physical discomfort punctuated by moments of transcendent natural beauty - would be doing the reader a disservice. This is not Ibiza. There will be no poolside DJs or bottomless cocktails, unless you bring them yourself and have relatively relaxed views on altitude drinking. Alpine Elements, one of the longer-surviving UK companies catering to fans of snow and gravity, understands this dance well. Founded by people who genuinely seem to enjoy being cold, wet, and just a little tired, the company specialises in ski holidays during the winter and activity-heavy mountain breaks through the summer. It has been around for over 27 years, which in ski-tourism speak is several lifetimes - enough time to build up a moderately obsessive following and, unsurprisingly, quite a lot of promotional offers.
The flagship pitch, currently, is Alpine Elements’ early booking deal for the winter 2025/26 season. It’s less about flashy discounts and more about smartest-seat-on-the-plane logic. Book well ahead - for winter travel that, frankly, you’re probably thinking about already - and you'll access what they’re calling their "cheapest prices" and "best group offer". There's no specific percentage discount being paraded here, which is both refreshing (honest) and slightly maddening (vague). The truth is, prices are variable across resorts and dates, so "cheapest" is relative. But saving a few hundred pounds on a chalet for your group of seven snowboarders who all ‘used to be really good at it’ is probably worth the effort.
If your travel friendships extend beyond plus ones, there’s a saving to be had. Booking a private catered chalet could net you up to four free spaces - assuming you can rally a decent crew and nobody drops out at the last minute (there’s always one). Again, the fine print isn’t hiding major flaws: just a gentle reminder that "free" is occasionally shorthand for "redistributed cost". But it helps spread the pain if someone insists on sleeping until 11 and never helps with the shared fondue clean-up.
All accommodation is run by Alpine Elements themselves, which avoids that time-honoured tradition of finding out your chalet is technically someone else’s problem. Resorts include solid names like Morzine, La Plagne, Tignes, and Meribel - places with decent lift systems, enough beginner terrain, and après scenes that range from civilised to "have-you-seen-Oliver?". Most chalets sleep between 8 and 15 people, and you’ll find a healthy mix of hotels and traditional Alpine lodges.
Don’t expect minimalist Scandinavian interiors or automatic smart blinds. Properties like Chalet Marilyn or Chalet Toubkal err on the side of lived-in charm: wood-panelled walls, a hint of rental goggle musk, and generous catering, best described as "very British in France": roast dinners, sticky toffee puddings, plenty of wine. Ratings from past guests suggest the food and service are standouts - 94% ranked the meals 'excellent', which is statistically improbable unless someone actually liked the lasagne more than they realised.
Alpine Elements also spins a solid range of activity holidays for the warmer months. Their Free Active Packs include things like guided hikes, bike hire, paddleboarding, and various things that make your smartwatch think you’re surviving in the wild. Offers include £100 off selected activity holidays at the moment, using the code SkiSummer at checkout. It’s the sort of holiday where children will either sleep extremely well or revolt by day three. Either way, you get a tan with views that look Photoshopped.
This isn’t a fully digital, no-human-contact operation. You can call an actual person - potentially named Steve - on 020 3949 8353, or drop an enquiry through their online form. Refund and expedition policies are standard for the sector: full terms are buried in a PDF, but most holidays can be adjusted for free within a certain window. Transfers are often complimentary. Flights are not, so budget that in unless you favour the overnight drive from Calais and consider road trip Pringles part of the adventure.
Alpine Elements isn’t trying to be ultra-glossy. That, frankly, would be weird. Their pitch is based on decent chalets in proven locations, food that doesn’t overreach, and staff who can talk about snow conditions without breaking into a sales pitch. If you're shopping for ski deals and want transparency over dazzle, it's worth bookmarking their site. Just don’t wait until November and expect to find the good chalets. And yes, they’ll still make you leave a deposit.
Current Offers to Note:
- Up to 4 free spaces for private chalet bookings
- £100 off some summer Alpine holidays with code SkiSummer
- Early Booker Group Deals for Winter 2025/26
Deals rotate through the year, so check the "Offers" section and resist the urge to overanalyse the savings. British people have booked far worse holidays for far more money.
