Is there anywhere in the world that will hire out skiplanes (C180 or the like) privately to myself (an ATPL holder) and girlfriend to fly off to some remote hut for a few days of xc skiing by day and red wine, bearskin rug and a log fire by night?

I have tried in Alaska and Canada, but met with little success at the moment. Any further pointers?

Will travel anywhere in the world!!!!

Yes - France. Ski planes freely available to suitably qualified pilots. But you may have a problem finding the remote hut and bearskin rug...... Good red wine, though! ;)

You'd also need to pass the French mountain rating, which is not easy to do quickly.
