They have a chalet in Verbier, a Swiss husband, American wife, and felt they had already done everything.

For a 50th birthday week, they wanted something discreet, with friends of mixed ski ability and fitness levels, followed by a family‑friendly day.

We set up a private chef picnic on a snowy peak, with guests arriving either by ski or snowshoe, and others by panoramic helicopter flight.

The following day slowed down with a chocolate masterclass in the chalet and a visit to a local fromagerie, making cheese with people who do this professionally.
