Join a Freshtracks Takeover Holiday in 2026

Engelberg Takeover

31st January – 07th February 2026

We’re kicking things off in one of our all-time favourite resorts: Engelberg. This Swiss gem has long been a Freshtracks staple, but this year, we’re bringing you an off piste week like never before. Whether you’re a seasoned backcountry explorer or dipping your toes into powder for the first time, this trip is designed to welcome everyone.

Engelberg’s exceptional snow reliability, varied terrain, and world-class guides mean you can push your limits or take things at your own pace. Our instructors are there to ensure every skier – from cautious intermediates to confident powder hounds – feels supported, safe, and thoroughly inspired.

You’ll stay at the centrally located Hotel Terrace, famous for its sweeping mountain views, hearty buffet meals, and comfortable single occupancy rooms. After big days on the mountain, you can unwind with friends, soak up the alpine atmosphere, and relive the day’s highlights. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or simply eager to explore somewhere new, Engelberg offers an unforgettable start to the season.

Bad Hofgastein Takeover

15th – 22nd March 2026

Next, we’re heading to the picturesque spa town of Bad Hofgastein for our first-ever all-ability on-piste holiday. This is a resort our members return to year after year. In fact, over 100 Freshtracks skiers joined us there last season, and it’s easy to understand why.

The Gastein Valley ski area offers something for every piste-lover: cruisy blues for confidence building, long scenic runs for the mileage-hungry, and a few more challenging descents for those wanting to push themselves. With exceptional lift links connecting multiple mountains, each day brings a new area to explore.

Off the slopes, Bad Hofgastein is known for its tranquil atmosphere, thermal spas, and restorative après-ski options. You’ll be based at the 4 Johannesbad Palace*, staying in single occupancy rooms and enjoying access to a range of wellness facilities — perfect for easing tired legs and recharging before another day on the mountain. If you’re seeking a social, relaxing, and energising week on the pistes, this is the one to join.

Tignes Takeover

18th – 25th April 2026

And finally, we’re heading back to where it all began. The Tignes Takeover has proven to be the ultimate way to close out the season, and we can’t wait to bring it back for another year of sunshine, spring snow, and unforgettable memories.

Tignes is one of the most snowsure resorts in Europe and home to some of our favourite coaching teams. Whether you’re looking for off-piste guiding, on-piste instruction, or simply the chance to social ski with friends old and new, this trip is built for flexibility and fun. The vibe is always upbeat, relaxed, and inclusive – exactly what an end-of-season celebration should be.

Once again, we’ll have exclusive use of the 3 L’Aiguille Percée*, giving the whole week a true club-takeover feel. Expect empty slopes, bluebird skies, and more laughs than you can count. All abilities are welcome, so spread the word, rally your ski buddies, and get ready for one final springtime blowout.

Whether you join us for one or all three trips, these Takeover holidays are designed to bring skiers together, celebrate the mountains, and share the joy of Freshtracks. Pack your skis, bring your enthusiasm, and let’s make this season our best yet. If you’re interested in any of our Freshtracks holidays, please give the team a call on: +44 (0)20 8410 2022.
