Some families picture Christmas around a chalet table. Others look forward to the turn of the year beside the ocean. This edition brings those plans into focus with five Alpine chalets, Rio de Janeiro’s New Year’s traditions and an Amazon sailing between the two celebrations. For clients ready to travel sooner, Bo House adds a Thanksgiving villa selection in Saint-Barth. Each option starts with a different kind of gathering, giving travel advisors concrete dates and places to discuss while there is still time to shape the details around the people traveling.
Hotel Sassongher
In Corvara, the end of the year is a reason to make room for mountain days and unhurried evenings.
Hotel Sassongher, a family-run address in Alta Badia, brings Ladin hospitality to a winter stay in the Dolomites.
Skiers can explore the Dolomiti Superski area, with the hotel assisting with ski passes, equipment rental, lessons and mountain hut lunches. A shuttle service and heated ski storage help keep the daily routine simple.
Back at the hotel, the Sky Spa offers panoramic saunas and an outdoor Jacuzzi with mountain views, an appealing pause after time on the slopes.
For Christmas and New Year’s trips, the combination gives travel advisors a clear starting point: skiing, regional character and space to spend time together.
