Oxford Ski Company has gained Virtuoso membership following an extensive screening process, as it also continues to expand its portfolio of luxury ski chalets and hotels beyond European ski destinations.

Commenting on joining the network, Oxford Ski Company’s managing director, Mark Gibbins said: “We understand the importance of trust in all walks of life, but even more so with our high-net-worth and ultra-high net worth clientele. We’re incredibly proud to have been accredited as one of the few ski agents under the Virtuoso banner globally.”

Virtuoso’s existing members in the UK include the likes of 360 Private Travel, The Lux Travel Group, Bluebird Travel and Quintessentially Travel.
