Travellers have a selection of accommodations when staying at any number of ski resorts in Europe and beyond. Many instantly gravitate towards booking a hotel as their place to stay simply because they do not know their options, but is it your best option? Listed below are a series of desires or qualities which some travellers may want from their ski holiday, and why a ski chalet may be the best option for them.
You Are Travelling With a Large Party
Travelling with six or more guests in your party? Then staying in a ski chalet could make more financial sense than staying in a hotel. The overall price of the property may be daunting, but when you split the costs among numerous individuals, you may be surprised to find that you will be paying less than if you were to stay in a hotel.
Travellers should also tally in the expense of paying for meals. If you choose a self-catering ski chalet, you can prepare your own meals and save a lot of money. Most hotels in resort towns have little more than a mini-fridge and a microwave, and even those are hard to find.
Finally, you will not need to pay for extra amenities that the hotels may charge for, such as:
- Parking
- Shuttle service
- Internet or Wi-Fi
You Like Options
Another nice part about staying in a luxury ski chalet is that you have a lot more options than if you stay in a hotel. You can:
- Choose to have your own personal driver
- Have in-chalet child care
- Enjoy meals professionally prepared by a chef
The company you choose to book through will be able to advise you of all of the options you can add to your trip and on what days, so that you and the rest of your party will enjoy a memorable trip up in the mountains.
You Want To Be With Your Friends and Family
A hotel room will rarely be able to accommodate more than four people, and you will be hard pressed to find one that can comfortably accommodate six. This means that travellers are often split up into groups and forced to stay in different rooms, rooms that may be doors or even floors apart.
When you stay in a chalet, you will all be under the same roof. There is no need to continuously walk down the hall to visit or use the phone to try and make plans for the day. Everyone can meet by the fireplace or in the kitchen over breakfast and plot out who is doing what, and when.
You Enjoy Privacy and Security
The privacy and security you have when you stay in a chalet can never be matched by any hotel. You and your party will have your very own establishment, so you can be up as long as you want, be as loud as you want, and enjoy your very own private pool and hot tub. It is also the best way to ensure that you have a quiet stay when visiting a resort town, particularly as resort towns can be quite rowdy until the early morning hours.
