Self Catering Ski Chalets

Self catering ski chalets over the last decade have become more and more popular with our clients. With the arrival of Covid-19 the idea of booking your own private chalet without the need to share space with chalet staff has become even more relevant.

Book your self catering ski chalet now

Twenty years ago a self catering ski holiday meant squashing into a basically furnished space no bigger than 20 square metres. There would have been only a tiny and impractical galley kitchen, no wardrobe space, no place to hang wet clothes and barely any room to do anything at all, let alone swing a cat. However, tastes and client needs have changed since the new millennium turned. The old fashioned self catering apartment still exists, largely for student skiers. However, today there is also a wide selection of large self catering apartments and stand-alone chalets to book without any staff hovering about.

This choice of self catering properties now extends to luxury multi million pound chalets with spas, cinema rooms, huge bedrooms, garage parking, large sun terraces and state of the art entertainment facilities. Self-catering chalets are no longer the budget ski holiday option. Moreover they are where the smart money is now heading.

Self drive self catered ski chalets

With travel uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 it makes very good sense to drive out to the Alps. Having your own car negates many of the stresses of travelling to and from resort by plane. Should a worst case scenario arise there would be no scrambling to book a dwindling supply of expensive return flight seats. Instead simply jump into the family wagon and head for home.

Travelling by car to and from resort also presents other advantages. For one thing it's an exciting adventure to drive - it really feels like you are 'travelling abroad' when you cruise through the French countryside. You can also make more of your holiday by 'over-nighting' in Burgundy both out and back. Not only is this handy for stocking up with great wine at a reasonable price but it also breaks the journey into two equal size manageable chunks. Travelling by car to your self catering ski chalet also means you can load the boot up with delicious home prepared meals (pre-cooked at your leisure) and have a means of transport in resort.
