Self Catering Ski Chalets – What to Expect

Catered ski chalets used to be the norm, but now more and more people are opting for more flexibility in their ski holiday with self catered options. Self catering ski chalets are a great option if you like to go out to eat and want to try a few different restaurants throughout the week. Or on the contrary, if you have a big group and think it’d be more economical to cook family dinners. They’re also perfect if you’d like a mix of the two. Or if you’re just someone who doesn’t want to interact with anyone first thing in the morning and would prefer your own space.

If you’ve always done catered chalets, or haven’t done either and aren’t sure which to choose, here’s what you can expect from a self catered chalet.

All of the same pre-arrival services

The booking process and all the services we offer before you arrive in resort are exactly the same as when you book a catered chalet. We’re on hand from the first enquiry through booking, to preparing and arriving in resort. We’ll help make it as smooth and as stress-free as possible. We can also organise your lift passes, ski hire, ski school and book restaurants for you.

In resort, we’ll be on hand in case you need any assistance – so you aren’t totally left on your own!

A high-quality, cosy chalet

Gone are the days of tiny, budget apartments being the only self-catered options. Now, you can find cosy self catering ski chalet options that really feel like home away from home.

Our Chalet Jamais Bleu is situated right on the piste so you can ski-in and ski-out. It has a large open plan living and dining room centered around a log fire, and with seven bedrooms, your whole group can join for the week. You can finish off the day taking a soak in the hot tub on the sunny terrace.

You can do a supermarket shop online before arrival, which we will then collect and deliver to the chalet for you.

You can opt for daily bread delivery service that includes baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolates. We can also offer wine, beer and soft drinks delivery at a very reasonable price – which is convenient when you don’t have a vehicle. We also offer a raclette evening.

Why book self catered?

At the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference. Whereas some people prefer not having to think about meals and having a chef prepare them all for you, others like the flexibility to eat what and when they like. Stay late at the Folie Douce one afternoon. Cook dinner early if everyone is starving. Or just head out to a restaurant. You can do what you wish in a self catered chalet, with no schedule to adhere to.
