FAQ

On this page with frequently asked questions you will already find a lot of answers to probably the first questions that come to mind after reading about our All inclusive concept. If you have any questions that are not listed here, you can always contact us.

What is an All inclusive ski chalet holiday?

More fun than a hotel, easier than self-catering and better value than both, a chalet offers all the advantages of holidaying at your own home but without any of the housework. Essentially it should be a relaxed informal and enjoyable skiing or boarding holiday, with our chalet staff keeping the chalet clean and tidy every day, making beds, all the shopping, providing excellent food and creating a convivial atmosphere in which you can enjoy all the benefits of being in some of the top ski resorts in the world.

What includes the arrangement?

Our catered chalet holiday price include: 7 nights chalet accommodation, 7 days breakfast, 6 days three course dinner (wine included in the chalets where you eat at home), room with en suite facilities (as far as the chalet has rooms with en suite facilities), unlimited drinks (except liquor), afternoon tea, cleaning services, the services of our chalet staff, bedlinen and bathtowels. On the chalet staff’s day off, the breakfast will be available, but no evening meal.
What is not included: travel, ski pass, hire of equipment, skiguiding/lessons, travel child care/nanny service, insurance, local tourist tax.

If you are not familiar with the all-inclusive ski chalet formula, you might think that the chalet staff often interferes with the privacy of your winter sports holiday. We can assure you that you do not have to worry about it in any way. We have chalet staff who work for our organization for many years and they know very well how to behave towards the guest.
