Pierre & Vacances, the leader in European holidays, is reimagining alpine travel with signature wellness experiences and smarter, more sustainable Sunday to Sunday stays.

Set against the breath taking backdrop of the French Alps, Pierre & Vacances’ Premium Ski Residences combine comfort and luxury for the ultimate mountain getaway.

A Smarter Way to Ski

Pierre & Vacances offers Sunday to Sunday stays across a number of the company’s Premium Residences, allowing guests to avoid the congestion and hassle of traditional Saturday changeovers, ensuring a smoother, more relaxed journey to the mountains and check-in experience. This stay option allows guests to enjoy quieter ski slopes and retail facilities, free from the usual Saturday congestion. Flights and transfers are also typically more affordable and readily available on Sundays, enhancing both value and convenience. To ensure a seamless experience, Pierre & Vacances partnered closely with the ESF ski school so that guests arriving on Sunday can begin their ski courses on Monday, without missing any on-slope experiences. This thoughtful approach not only enhances the overall guest experience by reducing queues, crowds, and travel stress, but also supports a more eco-conscious form of travel by dispersing peak traffic and lowering carbon impact. Since introducing Sunday arrivals, Pierre & Vacances has recorded a +10 point increase in Net Promoter Score among Sunday guests, underscoring the clear benefits and improved quality of the overall travel experience. Guests arrive feeling refreshed, and can settle in with ease and ultimately enjoy quieter slopes from the very start of their stay.
