Chalet Aitken

The Chalet Aitken in St Anton has spectacular views of the Rendl ski area from the south facing sunny balconies, making this a firm favourite with many St Anton regulars. Traditionally decorated with many unique Austrian touches, the Aitken has a comfortable open plan living and dining room with ample place for nine guests to relax of an evening after a trying day on the mountain. However, if the limbs are still a little weary there is also the added bonus of a sauna which easily takes up to five people at any one time.

There are five well-appointed bedrooms and a good ratio of shower and bathrooms. The chalet sits just above the centre of the resort and will take you 5 minutes to walk downhill on the way to the lifts in the morning and slightly longer on the way back. If you don't fancy walking the local bus stop is right outside the chalet.

NB: This chalet is operated by a Dutch tour operator, who have been in the catered ski chalet business since 1977, operating 37 ski chalets in France, Austria and Italy.

The main difference between a "normal" British-run chalet, which you will be familiar with, and the Dutch product is that afternoon tea and cakes are not included. However, house wine, beers, soft drinks, and tea and coffee are available and are included in the cost of your holiday.

Towels are also not included but can be rented in resort for 8.50 euros per person, a mid-week towel change is included. Alternatively, by upgrading to the comfort package at 25 euros per person for the week both towels and afternoon tea and cakes will be provided. Both of these supplements are payable in resort.

Breakfasts will be continental in style with cheese, hams and bread, yogurt and fruit juices, tea and coffee.
