Entry planning
U.S. tourists generally do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days. A valid passport and at least one blank page are expected. Check the official current guidance ↗
Travel with awareness
Practical precautions
Plan for rapidly changing weather, use established operators and keep phones, wallets and luggage secure in cities and transit hubs.
Passport, visa, health and entry rules vary by nationality and can change without notice. This is planning context—not legal, medical or consular advice. Every traveler must verify current requirements for their own passport and circumstances before purchasing travel.

Warm breakfast, mobility, equipment checks, and clear instruction replace chaos with readiness. You leave the chalet knowing you do not need to be fearless—you only need to be present for the next turn.

Snow makes progress visible. You fall, reset, laugh, and try once more. Guides adapt the challenge to your level while companions turn personal effort into shared celebration.
EVENING
RETURN TO WARMTH
The chalet becomes part of the transformation: warm food, stretching, massage or recovery where confirmed, firelight, and the relief of being fully cared for. Confidence settles into the body while friendship grows around the table.
