Best ski tour operator

We have a special family event next year and have decided to go skiing. There are so many tour operators! Are there any recommendations for an operator is flexible and can accommodate various requests ?

You need to give a bit more information about your group - number of people, ages, children, or adults only, approx. budget, location in the UK (for flight options), type of accommodation preferred (catered chalet, B&B, hotel, self-catering etc) and a bit more about the flexibility and "various requests."

Not because this is supposed to be the Spanish Inquisition, but because the TOs tend to cater for different markets. Some are great for families (but would be a poor choice for a romantic couple), some are good value for money, mass market operators, some have luxury properties with cordon bleu chefs and hot & cold running flunkies. You pays your money and takes your choice!

Budget? Hotel or chalet? And what do you mean by flexible and able to accommodate various requests- things different departure airports, accommodating a vegetarian or more like arranging private entertainment spectacles or sourcing rare wines?

There’s a big difference between say Crystal which just makes the booking easy by letting you do a package, and some of the more niche tour operators. Scott Dunn are more lux, lots of options, stuff like different flights would be easy. The absolute best large group ski holiday we’ve ever done has been with Consensio but that might be a silly suggestion if you’ve got a strict budget in mind!
