Ski Chalets

Catered Ski Chalets

One of the most popular types of ski holiday in Europe is a catered ski chalet holiday. We have a whole host of ski chalets to rent across France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Originally, chalets were simple accommodation with shared facilities but now most are fully en-suite (some even include childcare). Many have additional leisure facilities such as hot tubs, saunas, games rooms, cinemas, and even their own exclusive swimming pools!

Why Choose a Catered Ski Chalet?

A British concept, the catered ski chalet has become the preferred choice for many skiers. This type of accommodation offers a wonderful way to enjoy a ski holiday with family, friends, colleagues, or if you simply want to join like-minded skiers. Mostly present across France, as well as Italy and North America, you’ll find various ski chalets Switzerland and catered ski chalets Austria that are hugely popular with the Brits. Catered chalets are often less expensive than hotels and this is why they have now become the number one choice for British holidaying skiers visiting the Alps.

What’s Included with Fully Catered Ski Chalets?

Chalet board consists of breakfast, afternoon tea, and an evening meal with unlimited wine (usually) until coffee is served. The evening meal is provided 5 or 6 nights out of 7, with the staff having 1 or 2 evenings off. The food is prepared by a chalet host who will make sure you will experience a good, wholesome, and filling meal.

What Types of Ski Chalets Are There?

Ski holiday accommodation comes in all shapes and sizes. From 4 to 40+ guests. Chalet hotels are slightly different in that they consist of a hotel structure, complete with a bar, but run on a chalet board basis. They can be booked on a shared basis or for sole use. Many chalets will sell exclusively for sole use until a certain point in time and then the owners or tour operators may open them up on a shared basis.

We have a variety of near-to-piste accommodation options, so you can step out and immediately hit the slopes. Accommodation locations also offer magnificent views of the nearby slopes and snow topped mountains.

What About Luxury Ski Chalets?

Who doesn’t enjoy a little luxury? Our range of luxury chalet holidays offer top-notch service, first-class facilities, and not to mention breathtaking vistas. Our selection includes all the very best accommodation in the luxury market. You’ll experience chef-prepared dishes, but just expect a cost element involved here. A good consideration is to think how much it’d cost to have your own private chef cooking for 6-12 guests every night...it soon adds up! A new breed of "gastro- chalets” has emerged in the Alps, these include Chalet Abode, St Martin de Belleville and Chalet Chamois Lodge. Ski Chalets with hot tubs and premium ski holidays go hand-in-hand, don’t they? Hot tubs have become the latest trend when it comes to après-ski. Unlike the unusually freezing outdoor air, the comforting, high temperatures of the hot tub make the evenings all the more relaxing. Find a ski chalet with hot tub located in Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy and more. Our luxury catered chalets France are incredibly popular - skiers’ favourite French ski chalets include Meribel, Val d'Isere, La Plagne, Les Arcs, and many more.

Ski Chalets with Swimming Pools

While we can’t all have the luxury of having a swimming pool in our home, we can absolutely have one on holiday! Here at Snowfinders, we have an array of places to stay with swimming pools, both indoor and outdoors. Swimming is great fun for the whole family – an excellent way to de-stress and soothe tired muscles.
