There are dozens of reasons to love the mountains. The sense of comfort they bring, or the deep change of scenery their incredible panoramas offer. Not to mention the countless activities to enjoy on the flanks of their majestic peaks. Unforgettable experiences you can be proud of having lived. And in winter, you do not need to clip on skis to discover the benefits of the mountains. Winter mountain holidays without skiing are no myth and offer the chance to discover the mountains differently.
Winter sports have never been compulsory on a winter mountain holiday. Yet coming home from your mountain break with stars in your eyes is a must. Pointe de Sel takes great care to help you experience just as many emotions during your winter mountain holidays without skiing.
The Pointe de Sel method, for tailor-made holidays
Living perfect mountain holidays without skiing is possible. At Pointe de Sel, we get it completely. To deliver the best mountain holiday experience, Pointe de Sel draws inspiration from your preferences to design a fully bespoke stay.
Combining a deep love of the mountains with a finely tuned sense of all-inclusive stay organisation, our advisers offer you packages that are 100% compatible with your wishes — including if you do not wish to take part in winter sports or skiing during your holiday.
To deliver an unforgettable experience during your winter mountain holidays without skiing, Pointe de Sel has solutions.
- The first is to invite you to drop your bags in one of our fully equipped luxury chalets. Located in some of the most renowned mountain resorts of Savoie, Haute-Savoie and the world — particularly La Plagne, Les Arcs, Méribel or Courchevel — you will enjoy a magnificent setting and the finest chalets in the French Alps.
- The second is the chance to enjoy a range of services right at your door. Curated services are delivered by our local partners for your maximum comfort. Beds made on arrival and end-of-stay cleaning are included by default in your all-inclusive stay. Additional services can be arranged for your stay — for example: meal delivery, childcare, activity organisation, in-chalet massages…
- The last is the chance to travel as a group of up to 15 and enjoy unique moments with family and friends. This lets you bring grandchildren, children, parents and grandparents together in a chalet with luxury-hotel standards, and all the privacy of a privatised cocoon.

The spacious shared living areas are ideal for living as a community with all your loved ones, without ever feeling cooped up. Pointe de Sel’s luxury chalets sit in exceptional locations where you will enjoy all the peace you need. You will not, however, be far from the bustle of the resort and can pop out for a glass of mulled wine in a lively, upmarket venue in the evening if you wish.
Relax in your mountain chalet
If you are not keen on the wind icing your cheeks during ski outings, enjoy instead the soothing amenities of your luxury chalet during your winter mountain holidays without skiing.
The fully privatised chalet is yours to enjoy day and night for the entire duration of your stay. In other words, the heated indoor pool, sauna and hot tub are entirely dedicated to you.
Note that when selecting your chalet, you can specify the amenities and equipment you would like. Here is a list of those you can enjoy depending on the chalet:
- Pool
- Sauna
- Hammam
- Whirlpool bath
- Gym
- Massage room
- Home cinema room
- Foosball
- Fireplace or wood stove
- Terrace
Pointe de Sel also provides a games and media library for fun family relaxation. Holidays are perfect for sharing a board game with the children over a generous afternoon snack.
Live unforgettable moments, without skis
In winter, it is not all about skiing. There are plenty of other activities you can enjoy in this immense natural territory that is the mountain.
Cocooning and wellness fans can enjoy in-chalet yoga classes, massages, mountain spa treatments and more. For thrill-seekers, Pointe de Sel has it all covered. You will have the chance to take a husky-sled ride, discover ski joëring, push your limits paragliding or test your balance on a snow e-bike.
Pointe de Sel also offers absolutely fantastic original family activities. You will be surprised by the friendly, playful atmosphere of a snowshoe outing or a family igloo build — they will leave you with unforgettable memories.
On that note, each member of your group can pick their preferred activities at Pointe de Sel. These can be enjoyed with the rest of the group or in smaller groups since not everyone shares the same interests. That gives you the chance to live your own moments of mountain happiness, then share them with your loved ones once night falls, around the dining table.
Meet Pointe de Sel’s partners
The final Pointe de Sel touch you can enjoy when you book your winter mountain holidays without skiing is the special attention of our local partners.
You will meet our chefs, professional mountain guides and instructors who will welcome you warmly. Each is passionate about the mountains and eager to share that passion. Feel free to ask them about whatever interests you: the region’s culture, history, local plants, Alpine wildlife, geology, architecture, mountain activities, cuisine…
They are incredible sources of knowledge and richness, and wonderfully kind — it is a pleasure to chat with them.
