Kensington Tours has launched “Ski the World, Differently,” a set of new ski-themed getaways. These experiences are designed to address the growing demand for sport-themed and adventure travel.
Kensington will roll out the ski itineraries in two phases across eight countries and 16 ski resorts. The first phase will include trips to ski destinations in Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland and Japan. Each itinerary will provide a resort skiing experience, combining luxe accommodations with easy access to the slopes, along with inclusions such as ski passes, equipment rentals, and private ski guides and lessons. A range of après-ski options from dining to spa amenities are available for those who are more focused on activities off the slopes.
The second phase of the launch will expand the offerings to include Chile, Argentina and Canada.
Travelers can choose from either eight- or nine-day getaways or longer trips of 10-12 days that also include opportunities for private guided touring in the destination. Here are a few sample itineraries:
- Experience an eight-day "Swiss Alps" ski vacation at Zermatt Resort that includes a four-day Cervinia pass to enjoy cross-border skiing between Zermatt and the Matterhorn.
