The Alps, Up Close

 

Why ski a resort when you can ski a country?  A world of breathtaking peaks, thousands of miles of groomed trails, and untracked powder as far as the eye can see. 

A place where villages are connected by more lifts and trails than roads. Where you can travel for miles without skiing the same terrain twice. Eat breakfast in one country, and stop for lunch in another.

Sound too good to be true? It isn't. But 90% of visitors to the Alps only experience about 2-3% of the skiable terrain. Not by choice, but simply because they don't know where to go — or how to get there. 

That’s where we come in.  

A qualified, knowledgeable guide is essential if you want to take advantage of all the Alps have to offer. 

While there are many guide services out there, Pollux stands apart. We not only bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, but also a unique focus on taking clients on highly personal and customized journeys, out of which they grow as skiers - and as travelers.

Our Guides. Your Way.

The physical challenge. The peace and solitude. The top-of-the-world panoramas.

These are the rewards of cross-country skiing in the Alps, where most resorts offer hundreds of miles of well-marked and groomed trails to test your skills and endurance.

If that’s your thing, we’re your resource.

This is Where it All Began

Did Someone Say Apres?

Everything is just bigger in the Alps. The mountains, the vistas, the distances — and the parties.

Maybe it has to do with the need to relax and unwind after a day of skiing untracked powder on 14,000-foot peaks. Or maybe Europeans simply know how to live.

The Apres Ski tradition was basically invented here, and it’s only become more varied and fun over time. From quaint hideaways serving local beers, liqueurs, wines and snacks to slopeside cabaret and all-night synth-pop raves. From Michelin-star dining to sipping hot cocoa on your sleigh ride back to your hotel.

Whatever your definition of a good time, we’ll show you the best places to experience it.
