Ski Chalet Catering

There’s only one thing we take almost as seriously as the snow and that’s our food and drink! We include an evening meal for 6 nights a week, not just 5 nights like most operators!

And if you’ve ever stayed with us before you’ll know that our talented chalet hosts and hotel chefs pride themselves on their top-notch food. After all, we love to get praise from happy, well-fed guests at the end of the week. We hand-pick and train our team of British staff extensively before each season, so we can make sure they deliver cooking you’ll love. A lot of thought goes into our menus to make sure we’re keeping up with the latest food trends. We design them to keep hungry skiers happy by making sure each meal is packed with healthy, satisfying ingredients.

Breakfast

Start your day the right way with a breakfast fit for a (snow) king or queen. We serve a hearty  continental selection each day with cooked options (for 3 days a week) that will set you up for a day on the mountain. You can expect cereals, porridge, preserves, French pastries, (croissants, pain au chocolat), breads, fruit, yoghurt, fruit juices and tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Our cooked options will include things like bacon rolls or eggs, bacon sausages and beans.

Hungry yet? Thought so.

Afternoon Tea

Life is full of simple pleasures. We’re firmly of the belief that one of those is coming back at the end of the day after some hard yards on the slopes, to be met by the smell of freshly-baked cake wafting around your chalet. We serve cake (or home-made biscuits) each afternoon except on staff day off. So you can unwind, take your boots off, put your feet up in front of a roaring log fire with a cuppa tea and a slice of cake.

Evening Meal

Enjoy a delicious, 3-course evening meal for 6 nights a week (not just 5 nights like most other Operators) with free-flowing wine during dinner; and let our chalet hosts look after you. We’ll make sure you’re well-fed and watered, with plenty of healthy and hearty food to satisfy even the hungriest skier and refuel the biggest boarder!

Children’s Tea

In chalets and chalet hotels with families, you may request an earlier kid's mealtime (on arrival) with our chalet hosts. They’ll do their best to lay on a healthy menu for the under-13s to suit their tastes. We’ll happily provide puréed food for toddlers if you also let us know. We serve tea at around 5.30pm, and children don’t join dinner later that evening so that grown-ups can enjoy an hour or two of child-free time.

Vegetarian and Special Diets

We cater for vegetarians and other special diets, with some delicious recipes in all our chalets and hotels. Please tell us if anyone in your party has a dietary requirement in good time before you travel (at least 14 days) so that our staff can make sure they’ve got something tasty ready! Supplements from £30pp will apply to special dietary requests, except Vegetarian for which there is no charge.
