The best ski holidays are about more than the action on the slopes. Of course you need incredible snow-covered runs to weave down, but it's also about vistas from thousands of metres high, memories made during convivial apres-ski sessions, and the unexpected extras that make a trip special – whether gourmet meals or hours spent in a spa.
One of the most important elements of a successful ski holiday is where you're staying. When it comes to skiing, there's one type of property that is synonymous: the chalet. These wooden Alpine huts can be found is various shapes and sizes but are an excellent choice for groups small and large, and there's usually one to suit every budget. Many of the options offer 'chalet board', which sees staff on hand to treat you to make meals, from breakfast to three-course evening meals (and sometimes afternoon tea).
