Alpine Travel Case studies
Creativity, experience and an inside-out knowledge of the Alps
Alpine picnics, ice bars, helicopter flights, oysters, champagne, flame throwers, ice sculptures, paragliding, ice climbing, heliskiing, the Matterhorn, romantic dog sled trips, Mont Blanc…
A romantic wanted to wow his future fiancé with a series of stylish gourmet experiences, so we designed the following itinerary: the day started with a magical dog sled trip, following this, a helicopter flight over spectacular panoramic views of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn; we then landed the couple on the peak of Croix de Coeur, where he proposed over-looking magnificent views. To celebrate the moment, the couple dined on a romantic champagne and caviar alpine picnic in the snow with cosy furs and a warming fire pit – the couple then para-glided down to the valley below.
Guess Jeans wanted to launch its winter range with a bang, so we invited its top influencer models to enjoy a series of luxury gourmet experiences in Verbier, including a glamorous picnic with photo shoot in the snow, a panoramic helicopter flight, a sumptuous Christmas banquet and a luxurious Swiss chocolate making session.
A couple had always dreamed of getting married by a cross but also on the top of a snowy mountain in the sunshine with lunch for two – so we flew a carpenter up to the glacier by helicopter to design, make and construct a seven-foot wooden cross for their oyster, champagne and chocolate fondue alpine wedding experience. The cross is now a coffee table at the couple’s house in Oklahoma.
A well-known adventurer wanted a unique alpine evening dining experience to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his wife and friends one cold January night in a -20 degree snowstorm. We created a cosy snow grotto in the forest and served warming fondues and espresso martinis while their guests danced to a live band and a flame throwing display, before the group sledged back home by torch light.
A girl from Mumbai had never seen the snow before, so her boyfriend took her on a surprise trip from India to the Alps in the summer, where we organised for them to fly up to the Glacier du Trient from Verbier, so he could propose with a bottle of Dom Pérignon on the snow, with an alpine picnic, a rose and Swiss chocolates.

Words can not begin to describe the impeccable and stunning originality of our ‘James Bond Alpine Wedding’ Day, organised by Above & Beyond Luxe.
Sophie and her team truly provided us an experience of a lifetime. We came from the United States and for several months prior to our wedding, Sophie got to know us with weekly calls making sure that no detail was missed. Her expertise allowed our vision to be brought to life and exceeded everything we could have ever imagined.
Not only was our special day absolutely breathtaking, she ensured our entire stay was filled with exceptional memories. From dogsledding and paragliding, and flying to a luxury picnic in the snow, to building us a one of a kind Cross for the top of the mountain- we felt like part of the Verbier family from the moment we arrived.
We are so elated and grateful for the bespoke time that Above & Beyond Luxe created for us!!!

My wife and I cannot thank Sophie enough for all her hard work in making our alpine wedding dreams come true.
From the very first phone conversation, we knew Sophie was the alpine wedding planner for us. Hard working, professional and attentive. No request was too demanding and the team was flawless on the day and we truly did have the best day of our lives.
Our wedding was more spectacular than we ever could have imagined and that’s all down to Sophie, she really did go above and beyond to create a magical day that we will remember forever.
We now count Sophie as our friend and are already planning our next holiday in the Alps!
What are you waiting for?
