Snowave

Snowave runs group trips for snow, surf, and skate. One thing to be clear about up front: it’s not an association but a commercial company, registered in the United Kingdom. You book a trip, you don’t sign up as a member, and there’s no community behind it the way there is with a club.

Snow Trips

The winter program includes the Trois Vallées Experience at Orelle, a carving camp in Cervinia, a ski and snowboard week between Cervinia and Zermatt in April, a “Cervinia fun weekend,” a freeride week with catskiing (a snowcat takes you up) in the country of Georgia, and the Snow Shuttle, the bus linking Milan to the resorts.

How the Dates Work

Weeks, camps, and longer trips are listed by season window (“December/March,” “April”) rather than by exact date: to find out when a trip actually leaves, you have to message them (WhatsApp or email; you can pay in installments). The exception is the Snow Shuttle, the day-trip bus from Milan: departures are posted with exact dates on its own page, with pickup points around the city (Lambrate M2, Piazzale Loreto, Piazzale Lotto, Sesto San Giovanni) and a bus-only price from about €49 round trip; lift ticket optional, rental not included.

If you’re leaving Milan without a car, the shuttle is their strong point and the main reason to keep an eye on them.
