Since then, Ski-Lifts has seen considerable growth and now via a trusted network of partners offers airport transfers to ski resorts in 14 different countries and transports around 70,000 passengers per winter season. We now offer transfers to ski resorts in North America, as well as the Alps, such as; Aspen, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail and Whistler.
Through a unique combination of our own operational experience of the industry, and our close partnerships with many other ski transfer operators around Europe and North America, we have developed a thorough understanding of the market and the needs of our customers, and we have built up an unbeatable product offering built upon four fundamental principles:
Reliability, Safety, Value for Money & Customer Satisfaction
In each area, we search out every mode of airport transport available; from private or shared minibuses all the way to coaches, executive cars and limousines. If you can’t find the transfer you need, our experienced and knowledgeable team are on hand to help build a bespoke transfer package to meet your needs.
Our unique service takes the stress out of arranging a DIY ski holiday. Simply make your booking online and turn up at the airport safe in the knowledge your transport has been catered for. Our team are also available 24/7 to help assist you while you are travelling.
