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 accommodations 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.
No matter which destination you’re planning on visiting, we guarantee a range of chalets designed for luxury, accessibility, and seamless amenities.
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 simply to join like-minded skiers. Mostly present across France, as well as Italy and North America, you’ll find various ski chalets in Switzerland and catered ski chalets in Austria that are hugely popular with the Brits. Catered chalets can be 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, ensuring 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 or sole-use basis. Many chalets will be sold exclusively for sole use until a certain point in time, and then the owners or tour operators may open them for shared use.Budget Ski Chalets
