ROCKY & update:

Those of you who have travelled with us over the years will know our mascot and beloved OTP dog, Rocky. Sadly Rocky passed away on 20th March after almost 13 years of going up skiing, mountain biking and entertaining everyone with his tricks at Fondue nights. 
 
 
Obviously, whilst Rocky can never be replaced nor forgotten, from August this year we have a new OTP dog, and his name will be revealed then. Here is a picture of the pooch that will be starting his very first winter season in December ~ he has big paws to fill!
 
 
 
My name is Jeff Michel, and I am the MD of OTP Swiss Holidays. I am so proud of the team we have this season and if you get the opportunity, come and visit us at the London Ski Show, 5th to 8th November at Battersea Evolution, Battersea Park, London and meet them, discuss your holiday and book!
