Top Three ski resorts for catered ski chalets

ski holiday Zermatt

With the ski season just around the corner it is time to start thinking about which slopes you want to tackle and which accommodation you want to stay in; a ski chalet or a hotel. Chalets differ from hotels because they offer you your own space that feels like home rather than just a room. These days a lot of resorts offer catered ski chalets and find them popular as they offer something different to traditional ski hotel holidays.

Before you dust off your salopettes take a look at our top catered ski chalet resorts for the upcoming season.

Val d’Isere, France

One of the busiest resorts in the whole of Europe, Val d’Isere has a little something to offer everyone from novices to experts. Its lively runs cater perfectly to its even livelier nightlife which usually starts at La Folie Douce, making the cross over between the two easy. The resort includes 300km of piste and the location also shares its ski area along with Tignes which a common pass for the E’space Killy will give you entry to. Val d’Isere boasts some of the best catered ski chalets in the Alps.
