The most popular type of ski holiday in Europe is a catered ski chalet holiday, but what exactly does that mean?
In a nutshell, taking a catered chalet for your ski holiday is a bit like having your own small hotel, as it’s all yours with no other guests and the staff are there just for you!
What to expect from your catered ski chalet
A catered ski chalet is the ultimate in luxury accommodation when heading to the slopes for your skiing holiday. Nothing is more relaxing than coming home to an open fire in your own catered ski chalet after an exhilarating day.
After a long day on the slopes, you want to be able to come back and relax, without the stress of cooking your own meal or trying to find a restaurant in Meribel that everyone enjoys. A catered chalet for your ski holiday offers unparalleled ease, and with everything taken care of, you can spend all your time focusing on the slopes.
Staff to look after all your needs
Really, just ours?
Absolutely! When on a catered chalet ski holiday, you can book the chalet just for your group, so it really isn’t like a hotel where you stay with other people. However, some chalets are occasionally available to book by the room, so if you are a smaller group or just a couple, you can share a ski chalet and get to know your fellow chalet guests. Chalet staff will be on hand to help you during your ski holiday; feel free to ask for information about your resort, you’ll be getting first hand knowledge of the town.
You can decide between booking a chalet just for your own use or you can share with other guests. Catered chalets are especially well suited to large family get togethers or going skiing with friends.
