Services

This dedicated chalet team highlights of the importance that the simple things that really matter are done supremely well, in order to make your ski chalet holiday easy. From warm ski boots in the morning to dedicated hosts who will help you with local advice for your ski day. From nannies with a little photo album at the end of the week to multimedia sockets to play your music, images or films. From the utter bliss of a post-piste professional massage or perhaps a manicure and facial, down to the fluffy towels. Silly little stuff like that is important to them, and so they know it will be important to you too.

Your catered stay consists of many elements, making your experience that bit more special. Upon arrival at Geneva Airport, you will be greeted by the team and taken to your chalet via coach. When entering the chalet, your beds will be made, and you will be provided with complimentary toiletries, bath and hand towels. Daily cleaning will be provided on 6 days of the week, and you will have the dedication of one host for the duration of your stay, assisting with dinner and other aspects of your holiday if required.

A catered chalet holiday is all about the food…their chefs and hosts are passionate about food and hugely sensitive to the appetite of a hungry skier whilst considering a balanced diet. Their new and refined menus are heavy enough to reward mountain exertion yet light and simple enough to leave you grinning, not groaning. During a week's stay in the chalet, you will be catered for all 7 days, with a choice of meals for your dinner each day, as well as a selection of house wines, cordials and sparkling water during dinner. Breakfast is provided on 7 days a week- with both cooked and/or continental breakfast options are available, and on the chalet host's day off, a self-service continental spread will be set up, to ensure you are energised for your day on the mountains. As if this isn't enough, a selection of home-made cakes are waiting for you in the chalet once you have finished for the day. Not to mention that canapés are provided on the first and last evening of your stay!

If you are planning a family ski holiday and are exploring childcare options, then you are in the right place. Their nannies will make your holiday and spoil you with a freedom you'd forgotten existed. They drop off and collect children from the ski school, and provide a supervised lunch at the restaurant just next door. Outside of ski school, your children will have endless fun inside and out, from arts and crafts, treasure hunts and storytelling in the Bear Lodge’s playroom, to building igloos, bum boarding, and songs. The Pyjama Club, operating from 7-9.30pm from Monday to Saturday, is ideal for parents who would like dinner in peace or for children who are not ready for bed. Their nannies are chosen for their experience, maturity, confidence, and enthusiasm – regrettably, they are not available to take home!
