To kick off 2018, why not indulge in a much deserved digital detox in luxury with Première Neige. With a wide range of activities and luxurious accommodation at Chalet Merlo, The Peak or La Marquise, Première Neige offers the perfect excuse to ditch technology and sharpen the senses on the slopes in Sainte Foy and surrounding resorts this 2018.

Première Neige offers a selection of curated experiences guaranteed to help guests to switch-off their devices and ensure that their trip is unforgettable. From husky riding, to soaring through the valley with their paragliding activities, to diving into the icy depths and exploring the surreal atmosphere of the underwater world with their ice diving experience, Première Neige promises to assist in the digital detox process.

Activities
Be at one with nature and find a sense of clarity whilst soaring through the skies with Première Neige’s helicopter rides or paragliding experiences. Embrace the sense of freedom whilst floating through the crisp mountain air and glancing down at the beautiful snow-capped mountains below.

Excursions
Première Neige’s new digital detox concierge service helps guests wean themselves off phones, tablets and laptops with curated digital free skiing itineraries, helping guests ignite a connection with the Alps’ natural environment. Rolling hills, snow covered trees and frozen lakes provide the perfect backdrop in which to switch off from the modern world and restore a little more of the all-important work/life balance. With Première Neige’s fully accompanied ski tours throughout the Tarentaise valley, guests can experience the thrills of the slopes over a period of three or six full days.

Spa & Meditation
Première Neige offers a unique chance to practice yoga and meditation against a backdrop of adrenalin pumping ski activities. Relax in the hot tub to soothe the muscles and mind after a long day of the slopes and help deepen the digital detox practice. Taking place in the stillness of the mountains outdoors or in the warmth of the chalet, gaze out towards magical panoramic mountain views a world away from normal life. Guests can heighten this sense of relaxation with an afternoon massage in the comfort of their own villa. Première Neige’s Beanie & Boots Spa treatment consists of a deeply relaxing and restorative massage for the head, focusing on the eyes, neck and shoulders designed to melt away any stress and tension in these areas.

Accommodation
Detox in true style at Première Neige’s luxury catered Chalet Merlo, nestled directly above the village of Le Miroir and offering panoramic vistas of the Tarentaise valley. Containing little luxuries such as Elemis Spa bathroom products, saunas, steam rooms, a roaring log fire and more, this is alpine luxury at its finest.

For those wishing to fully heighten the digital detoxification process, guests can surrender their devices and request the removal of in-chalet TVs and enjoy some precious uninterrupted time. In addition, books, journals and board games are provided in the chalet to encourage pause and reflection.

With 6 en-suite bedrooms available, Chalet Merlo sleeps up to 12 people and includes a fully-equipped gym spread over two floors, a private massage suite, a hot tub and sauna facilities. The chalet also comes with a dedicated team consisting of a professional chef, host and a chauffeur to ensure a seamless visit. Due to its impeccable location, Chalet Merlo is the perfect accommodation for multi-resort skiing. With the chauffeur included, guests have a wide array of ski resort options with Sainte Foy, Tignes, Val D’Isere, Les Arcs and La Rosiere in close proximity. For those looking for a more adrenaline-fueled experience, Chalet Merlo can also arrange heli-skiing excursions.
