Day2On the snow
dinner at RefugioFirst day on the Cervinia–Valtournenche pass. Bring only what you need on your back — we ski up through Cervinia and sleep high on the Plateau Rosa glacier, dinner at the rifugio included.
Day3On the snow
into the larchesWake up on the glacier and ski the whole way down on the second day of your pass. A car runs you round to Champoluc, where a rustic baita rifugio is home for the night. Dinner there is on you.
Day4On the snow
the groupA full day on the Champoluc side of the Monterosa Ski area, then the car takes you west up toward the Gran San Bernardo to Crevacol and a family-run chambres d’hôtes for the next two nights. Dinners here are on you.
Day5On the snow
new powder daysYour last full day on snow — at Crevacol, small, steep in places and almost never busy, or back over at Champoluc, wherever the snow is best. Add a certified mountain guide for the day (€50, optional) to get properly off-piste, or let Jenny and Jan pick the lines.
Day6One last runDepending on your flight, squeeze in one more morning on the pistes — leave your bags in the bus and ski until it’s time to go, then we drive you to the airport.
These are preliminary timetables — the exact days can shift with hotel availability, conditions and the group that’s travelling, and we’ll keep you informed all the way. The hotels named are the standard we book to; refuges and mountain stays (Plateau Rosa, the Champoluc baita) are fixed, while village hotels and chambres d’hôtes may shift to an equivalent of the same class.
The same faces all winter — they live in the valley, ski it every day, and pick the mountain that’s working each morning.

Skis these valleys all winter and knows where the snow holds — Jenny sets the route each morning and keeps the group together on the mountain.
Valtournenche
Lives in the Aosta Valley year-round — up high on foot in summer, on skis all winter. Jan looks after the logistics, the cars and the beds, and skis every day of the safari with the group.
Aosta ValleyWe meet you at Turin, Milan or Geneva and drive you up. From there it’s Jenny and Jan organizing every day for a group of no more than eight, the five-day lift pass — Cervinia–Valtournenche, Champoluc and Crevacol, around €242 of it — every bed booked across four different stays, all the transport in between, and dinner on the first two nights, in Valtournenche and up on the glacier.
Your ski gear, dinners at the Champoluc baita and in Crevacol, and your flight. Come by plane, train, bus or car into Turin, Milan or Geneva, and we’ll drive you the rest of the way up.
Departures leave every Sunday from the end of November to the end of April — each a five-night safari. Prices are per guest for the Ski Bum; switch tier any time and the calendar updates.
From Valtournenche over the glacier into Zermatt, then west under Mont Blanc — on the Comfort, back east to finish in Champoluc; on the Premium, a train across to Verbier and two nights in Chamonix to finish. On the Ski Bum it’s all Aosta Valley: the glacier night, then Champoluc and Crevacol.
