Ski Chalet Holidays
What is a Catered Ski Chalet?
A catered ski chalet isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a true mountain escape with everything taken care of. Flights, airport transfers, hearty breakfasts, indulgent 3 or 4-course evening meals with unlimited wine, and even afternoon tea are all part of the package. It’s the ultimate way to ski in style without breaking the bank. And the best part? The chalet hosts aren’t just there to serve; they’re passionate skiers who know the slopes inside out. Need a tip for the best run or a hidden après-ski spot? Just ask. With Skiworld catered ski chalets exclusively operated by us, you’ll feel right at home. On your chalet host's day off, venture out to the resort for dinner and make the most of your alpine adventure!
A Ski Chalet Might Be Your Best Accommodation
The perfect accommodation choice for your ski holiday for many reasons. Booking catered ski chalet holidays means you can forget about the finer details of your ski holiday in the knowledge that we've got the home comforts covered. We believe that catered ski chalet holidays can be affordable without sacrificing quality, and after 40+ years we have both a wealth of knowledge and dozens of chalets for you to choose from in snow-sure resorts across France and Austria.
When staying in our Europe catered chalets during the 2025/26 season, you'll have breakfast daily (five days of hot options), six days of afternoon tea and six nights of evening meals with wine included.
Exclusive Chalet Properties
All of our catered chalets are exclusive to Skiworld. This means you can take advantage of our buying power to ensure you get the best value when booking your holiday. Your catered chalet holiday package will also be ABTA bonded and fully ATOL protected for your peace of mind and complete financial protection.
What's Included in a Catered Chalet holiday?
Evening meals in chalets - three or four courses depending on the chalet grade with complimentary wine until coffee - are served on six nights. Guests will enjoy a comprehensive continental breakfast for seven mornings with delicious and varied hot options provided by our hosts on five days. On our chalet hosts’ day off, continental breakfast will be laid out and guests are free to enjoy dinner in the resort. Learn more about the carefully curated chalet menus which can make your great holiday into a perfect one...
Please note this information is based on our standard seven-night holidays. For holidays of shorter durations, catering will be provided for one day less than the holiday duration.
Door-to-Door Transfers
If you book a standard package including flights, a Skiworld transfer (or private transfer if booked) arranged by us will drop you off to and collect you from your resort accommodation (or as close as snow and/or local authorities will allow). We don’t use scheduled bus or transfer services that pick up at a set time (meaning you may have a substantial wait especially if your flight is delayed) and drop you at a bus stop somewhere in resort.
Please note that under exceptional circumstances we cannot get the transfer vehicle to the door (for example there has been very heavy snowfall and the access road is closed).
Chalet Dining
Chalet catering varies slightly by grade of property. If you book a chalet with grades 3 - 5, our standard chalet catering is included. Whereas if you opt for a Signature Chalet, the dining service and inclusions are a little more refined.

Find the Perfect Ski Chalet for You
Our chalet finder is the quickest way to see all our chalets at-a-glance and filter by size, resort or grade to find your ideal property. Prices shown are the lowest available during the season, based on full occupancy - If you have a specific date in mind simply click on the chalet name to visit it's page and select your options for live prices.
For the duration of your ski chalet holiday, you'll experience a perfect home-from-home, in an informal and relaxed atmosphere, from a hearty breakfast to start the day down to a cosy crackling fire in the evening. You need do nothing other than find your way to the dining table to enjoy a delicious, freshly cooked 3 or 4-course menu with wine (served until coffee). And knowing the washing up and cleaning is taken care of can’t be bad. Now, there's a thought for Christmas!
For you to be able to easily choose the accommodation with the accompanying services you need in your ski chalet holiday, our chalets are separated by grade, with grade 3-5 chalets coming with our standard level of service, and our grade 5+ Signature range of chalets enjoy a whole host of extra indulgences.
Why Book a Whole Catered Chalet?
Just like a great bottle of wine or your birthday celebrations… a ski holiday is an experience best shared. What better way to enjoy the benefits of a catered chalet holiday than by having a quintessential alpine home for JUST you and your group? The benefits of booking a whole chalet include:
- Home from home feel, have the whole chalet just for you and your friends or family
- Complete privacy, so if you want to each breakfast in your bathrobe then please go ahead!
- Relax and soak up the comforts of a cosy ski chalet; look out for features like log fires, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs
- Whether you book catered or independent, chalets normally have catering standard kitchens with modern appliances, so whether your host cooks for you or you take on the chef duties yourselves in an independent chalet, you are sure to be enjoying some great dinner parties!
- Benefit from extra beds. If you book the whole chalet, it's up to you how many people stay there (up to the maximum capacity) and if a third adult or child stays in a room that has an extra bed then this would reduce the price for everyone!
