FAQs

A community of brothers first, and their families. Adult retreats run through the year, children’s trips alongside, family retreats to come. No experience required. Just willingness.

Mainly the UK: Scotland, Wales, and the Lake District. Ski weeks run in the French and Italian Alps. Trips go further afield across Europe and Asia.

Each trip lists exactly what is included before you pay. Ski weeks usually cover flights, luggage, transfers, accommodation, the lift pass and equipment. Food is not included on ski weeks. The brothers arrange it together beforehand and eat together.

No. First timers come on nearly every trip. Tell us your level when you book and we will set you up properly.

Each trip lists the effort it asks for. Some push hard. Some are laid back. If one won't suit you, we will say so.

Yes. Many brothers do. You will not feel alone for long.

Yes. Most sign-ups come in pairs. Mention them and we will keep you together.

When a trip goes live you book on this site. Your details, a signed waiver, then payment. A deposit secures your place.

Card or bank transfer, both through the booking page. Bank transfer is our preferred method.

Yes. The deposit secures your place. After that we arrange the balance with you personally, in parts if that suits you, as long as it is paid in full by the deadline listed with your trip.

No. The deposit goes straight toward flights, accommodation and the lift pass the moment you book, so it cannot be returned.

Tell us as early as you can. Cancel before the balance deadline and you owe nothing more, though the deposit is kept. Cancel after the balance is paid and everything is already booked and paid for in your name, so the balance is returned only if we can fill your place.

Yes. Instead of cancelling you can transfer your booking to someone else. The only cost is the airline’s fee for changing the name on the flight ticket, which you and the new guest cover between you. We charge nothing for the swap.

Yes. Winter sports cover with medical care and mountain rescue is required on every ski trip. We ask for your policy details before departure.

Yes. You will be with brothers at your level, and lessons can be arranged when you book. By the end of the week you will not want to leave the mountain.

Your ski clothing: jacket, trousers, thermals, gloves, goggles and ski socks. The hardware comes with the trip: skis, boots, poles and a helmet.

Yes. Higher performance gear is available at extra cost. First timers do not need it.

Yes. Tell us when you book. Airlines charge extra for ski luggage and that cost is yours.

Your week. Rest, take the sauna and the pool, walk the resort, or just watch the mountain.

Quality residences close to the slopes, chosen for the group. Rooms are shared between brothers.

On most retreats, yes. Ski trips are the exception: the apartments are self catered, so the brothers liaise beforehand, bring halal food from the UK, shop locally and cook together. Everyone eats together. Brotherhood.

Yes. Tell us who you are with when you book and we will keep you together.

London. Exact airports and times are listed with each trip.

A valid passport, yes. UK passport holders do not need a visa for Europe. Check your passport has at least six months left before you fly.

Enough for your share of the food and whatever extras you want. Self catering keeps the week cheap.

Get to the airport early. A missed flight means booking a replacement at your own cost.

Short Islamic reminders and talks run through the week. Brief and real.

Yes. Come as you are. The environment is respectful: no alcohol, halal food, brothers who take their faith seriously. If that sits right with you, you are welcome.

Brotherhood. Hard days on the mountain, food cooked together, no egos.

Respect. For the group, our hosts and the mountain. Anyone who puts others at risk goes home.
