Top 3 Reasons Catered Chalets are Perfect for the Whole Family

When planning a successful ski holiday, catered chalets allow you the opportunity to experience a unique, comfortable and secure way to enjoy a winter break with the whole family. Aside from the fact that your main meals are provided (along with some delightful extras) they are staffed with trained service professionals who will ensure you have everything you need throughout your stay.

But if you’re wondering what exactly to expect when you rent catered chalets, the following three aspects should give you a better idea.

Reduce the Hassle

Booking into catered chalets in a ski resort means that at the end of a hard day having fun on the piste you can return to your own cosy "home away from home" and simply relax and have all the hard work done for you! You won't have to spend time and energy worrying about where to dine, shop for groceries, or find a good bottle of wine to go with dinner – it's all done for you. In the best accommodation (and this depends on the provider), you and your family won't be stuck with a boring menu; instead, food will be creatively presented to provide not only the nourishment you need after a long energetic day spent on the slopes, but also to excite your palate. Often you'll also be offered a cheeseboard menu, pre-dinner and after-dinner drinks and even canapés.

More Time for After-ski Bonding

Many catered chalets offer much more than meals; you'll also have the attentive and friendly service of a full-time staff to attend to your needs anytime of the day. The sense of security and comfort translates to peace of mind and the opportunity to truly relax – which is, after all, what a ski holiday is all about. Renting catered chalets allows you to focus on what matters most – spending time with your family. If you choose the location of your accommodation wisely, in a central position, you'll also be able to enjoy the facilities of the wider resort as well.

A Home Away from Home

Staying in a cosy ski chalet will give the whole family the palpable sense of security and comfort of your own personal "home away from home". Of course, facilities and services will differ from provider to provider, so you'll need to do a bit of research to ensure you book the right one for your family's needs. Often you can make special requests if any member of the family has unusual dietary requirements and a good provider will go out of their way to ensure you don't want for anything.
