Ski Holidays

Some say you’re closer to heaven on a mountain, fans of skiing and snowboarding will tell you they are already there!

Here at Uber we understand that the perfect downhill run is just part of your dream ski holiday. We’ve looked for resorts with a large network of ski lifts so that you’re whisked to the top of the slopes in comfort. Many of the luxury holiday chalets are ski-in, ski-out, so you can just start your day right on the doorstep. The truly serious winter sports fan should visit our overseas property page for chalets to buy in stunning locations.

Style is possibly more important on the slopes than with any other kind of holiday. But technology has advanced dramatically so there is function with the fashion, thanks to materials such as carbon fibre, titanium and kevlar and insulating fabrics for clothing. Visit our ski wear pages for Uber jackets that provide protection with the wow factor.

Once hooked on skiing or snowboarding, you’ll probably want to buy your own equipment. But this can present an unwelcome extra burden at airports or rail stations. Having your gear delivered to the door of your accommodation by a specialist luggage service firm is a way to unload this problem so you can concentrate on enjoying yourself.

A skiing holiday can be a serious work-out for the body, so make sure you build up your fitness before your go, to lessen the chance of bringing home painful memories. And in our Uber selection of hotels and catered chalets, you’ll find hot tubs and spa treatments to soothe those aches and prepare you for the après-ski.

Getting fit for a skiing holiday is made simpler if you have exercise equipment at home.

A spare bedroom is often used for gym equipment, but the whole fitness experience becomes far more enjoyable and beneficial if a home gym can be installed in an extension or garden room.

And if relaxing in a hot tub at an Uber ski chalet made you yearn for more of the same, that could be next on the list of home improvements.
