Fear not Londoners, the perfect place for escaping winter’s dreariest months is back.

The Montague on the Gardens has announced the return of its hugely popular Ski Lodge experience which serves up an authentic slice of the Alps in Bloomsbury.

From Thursday November 16th until January 20th, the luxury hotel’s outdoor wood deck will once again magically transform into a festive themed alpine Ski Lodge, complete with a cosy log cabin, offering Londoners and visitors to the capital a cosy “après ski” experience in the heart of the city. 

The Montague’s outdoor deck area will be adorned with pine trees, twinkling lights, festive snowmen, ski racks and falling snow.

Ski Lodge visitors can select from a range of après ski favourites including homemade flavoured schnapps and vodkas, such as candy cane, butterscotch, mandarin and toffee; and winter warmers like mulled wine, spiced cider and decadent hot ‘choctails’.

To visit the Ski Lodge on a wintry weekend, guests can purchase a ‘ski pass’ for £35 per person which includes an hour’s access; a seasonal spread of food, including a mini turkey schnitzel, mini bratwurst and deep fried camembert (vegetarian options are available too); plus a choice of three festive drinks from the Ski Lodge bar menu. 

Visitors can even take a ‘ride’ on the Montague Ski Lift and share a selfie using #SkiMontague on Twitter or Instagram to be in with a chance of winning a luxury two night stay at Hotel D’Angleterre, Geneva for two people.

Open from 13:00-21:00 on Saturdays and Sundays for ‘ski pass’ access, The Montague Ski Lodge is the perfect winter retreat for cosy weekend drinks.
