Client Testimonials

AN ESTABLISHED BRAND THAT YOU CAN TRUST

Crete – Summer 2018

“The childcare programmes were excellent, our kids loved it and the only downside was they didn’t want to leave! The Powder Byrne team were brilliant with the kids; helpful, knowledgable and flexible when we needed it, thank you!”

Grindelwald – Winter 2018

“SnoZone Beginners is a great programme for older children and early teens to find their ski legs for the first time and quickly get up to speed. Within the week our son was able to ski blue and red runs with confidence and too much speed!”

Air & Space – Italian Dolomites

“The Dolomites holiday was really, really great. Both hotels were fantastic and so were both of the mountain guides and cycling guides. We were very happy with the whole experience – it was a perfect family holiday. Thank you so much for organising the holiday, all elements were fantastic – activities, hotels and food etc.”

Crete – Summer 2018

“Very good activities and staff were excellent. Our children have loved it. Thank you so much, we recognise how hard you all work.”

Adelboden – Winter 2018

“What a fabulous holiday. PB’s attention to detail and removing all the aggravation of a ski holiday was superb. Their client concierge team was a pleasure to deal with and we really appreciated all of their help pre-booking our ski equipment, restaurants and activities.“

Swiss Cook – Winter 2018

“The Swiss Cook service really helped make our holiday. Staying in a gorgeous apartment in Casa Flumina with the Menu of the Day option was great value and the quality of the food was top notch.”

Arosa – Winter 2019

“The guided walk led by Freddie was a great opportunity for non-skiers to get together and marvel at the stunning locations. Everything was organised for us from the start to finish and nothing was too much trouble for the Powder Byrne team.“

Zurs – Winter 2018

“I really loved the variety of skiing styles and techniques that we covered in the PB Ski Academy. It was great to learn about skiing in powder and I really felt that my skiing improved a lot during the holiday.”

Zurs – Winter 2022

“My eldest was in SnoZone for the first time, he loved it. It was really well done for their age group.”

Arosa – Winter 2018

“I’ve always been very nervous when it comes to skiing and have never enjoyed conventional skiing schools. Because Learn to ski in style is exclusively for Powder Byrne clients, I felt a lot more confident skiing in a small group of other learners with great instructors and support from the Powder Byrne team.”

Flims – Winter 2019

“The Powder Byrne Mountain Host Programme was amazing, thank you Laura and Kat for showing us the snowy landscape Flims had to offer. Powder Byrne really does have it all covered, whether you’re a skier or non-skier.“

Davos – Winter 2018

“We have had a phenomenal ski holiday thanks to the PB team and incredible service and attention provided. Nothing was too much trouble – we’ve been spoilt beyond belief. Every person has been an absolute joy to coordinate with. We’ve simply had the best time! You can’t improve – you’re simply the best.”
