SkiWeekends to offer Les Gets ski holiday for special beginner’s week
SkiWeekends, the specialist short break and flexible ski tour operator, has re-scheduled its normal programme for one week in March to allow guests the chance to book the new Premier Ski Festival in Les Gets – an event dedicated purely for first time skiers and snowboarders.
From the 21st to the 28th March 2026, Les Gets will host an all-inclusive week with lessons and activities, all in a festival atmosphere. The destination is one of the most accessible ski resorts from Geneva Airport with a reputation for some of the best beginner’s slopes in the French Alps.
The new festival has responded to a growing number of beginner’s looking for a shared experience on the slopes with newcomers to the sport. Participants will enjoy ski and snowboard lessons, discover a range of mountain activities, and immerse themselves in a relaxed festival atmosphere, all set in the scenic alpine village of Les Gets.
For couples or groups with mixed ability levels, the festival offers a solution: beginners can join lessons and activities while more experienced skiers enjoy the mountain independently, regrouping later for après-ski drinks and evening dinners. Solo first-time skiers will get the chance to meet others that are starting their skiing journey for the first time.
The SkiWeekends accommodation is centred around Chalet Marjorie, offering a 7 or 8 night stay that includes chalet-board accommodation (cooked breakfast, afternoon tea, 3 course evening meals with wine), steam room and a heated outdoor hot tub. Packages start from £1,141pp for 7 nights with return shared Geneva Airport transfers.
The all-inclusive festival pack, priced at €399pp, covers lift passes, equipment hire, lessons, entertainment, and additional mountain activities, making it a straightforward, stress-free option for new skiers.
Highlighting the festival’s appeal, SkiWeekends has adapted its usual booking schedule for this event, allowing guests to reserve stays from Saturday to Saturday – a departure from its standard configuration – giving participants a full week to enjoy the festival in a fully catered chalet.
