For the quintessentially alpine experience a traditional ski chalet in one of the world’s great resorts can’t be beaten. Browse some of the best here or call for recommendations.
With chocolate box charm and authentic alpine architecture, a trad. catered chalet with all of the home comforts (plus great food and wine) is our favourite kind of ski holiday.
Many ski chalets now have been elegantly refurbished to highlight the traditional aspects of the architecture and at the same time provide you with the convenience of modern facilities.
Here we’ve created a list of some of those properties which we feel give you the most authentic feel of a traditional ski chalet, with terrific levels of service and facilities, in beautiful surroundings.
