Usually, high-end hotels have shown imagination in offering their guests exceptional moments that they will remember for a long time. Now, more than ever, visitors need to relax and put aside their daily hassles for a moment or two. Therefore, we have selected a few activities proposed by some of these hosts, which have a strong capacity to bring magic to a visitor’s stay.
With the K2 Collections Hot-air Balloon, guests are invited to take a little height and embark on a dreamlike journey above the tops of the larches and enjoy the snowy view on the peaks in the 3 Valleys. This activity proposes a soothing revisiting of the book “Five Weeks in a Balloon” by Jules Vernes. This time, a rendez-vous at Courchevel Altiport instead of Zanzibar, for a much less perilous adventure. A poetic getaway available to the guests of the K2 establishments and non-guests alike.

With the festive season fast approaching, Cheval Blanc has created a range of activities for its guests to enjoy, so that they can celebrate properly with their family and friends, ending this hectic year on a positive note. To go further in this desire to please its guests, Cheval Blanc is creating a digital platform called “Wish Maker”, aiming to make the holiday dreams of its guests come true at each resort. Therefore, the guests of Cheval Blanc St.-Barthelemy will be able to spend a moment with the astronomer Jordan Blanchard, who will bring the constellations and planets into perspective through his Celestron C8 telescope, for an evening suspended in time. At the end of the experience, the guests will each have the opportunity to make a wish on their own star, so that their dreams may come true.
