Frequently asked questionsEverything you need to know to organise your Valentine's Day celebrations
- Do I need to book activities and restaurants in advance for Valentine's Day?
Yes, we strongly recommend that you book your activities and restaurant tables as soon as possible. Valentine’s Day is a very popular time of year in our region. Romantic restaurants are often fully booked several weeks in advance, and some activities such as evening snowshoe outings or spa packages have limited places. Contact the establishments directly or go through our Tourist Information Offices, which will be able to help you with your bookings.

The budget will vary according to your choices. Expect to pay around €15-25 per person for an activity such as snowshoeing or tobogganing, €60-150 for a duo spa package, and €50-100 for a romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. All-inclusive packages (accommodation + activities + meals) are offered by several establishments, with prices ranging from €200 to €500 for two people. Don’t hesitate to contact us for recommendations to suit your budget.

Absolutely! Most of the activities on offer are accessible to all levels. Snowshoe walks are perfect for beginners, with easy, signposted routes. The resorts offer ski lessons for beginners, and fun activities like Snake Gliss or Wiz Luge require no previous experience. For ski touring or more technical outings, professional guides can accompany you and adapt the itinerary to your level.

Our region offers many alternatives in the event of bad weather.
