Question Skiplanes

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.
