Types of ski accommodation

There are many accommodation types to choose from and each carries its own advantages and disadvantages. Opting for a self-catering break is perhaps the most affordable option, particularly if you are travelling in a larger group or as a family. Self-catering accommodation however can be a little basic so for those looking for a home away from home a chalet may provide a better fit.

Many chalets are usually catered providing an all-inclusive deal for those looking to return to a cooked meal after a long day’s skiing. Hotels can also provide a great base for long and short breaks.

Working to your budget

Ski holidays aren’t known for being the most affordable breaks around, however, there is a way enjoy the most amazing ski hotspots without breaking the bank. By choosing a hotel or chalet located a walk away from the ski lifts your accommodation costs will decrease dramatically. For those looking to stay in accommodation based a short journey from the slopes, many resorts offer a free ski bus to ensure you don’t have to make hard work of getting to your favourite spots with all your gear.

Opting for ski-friendly amenities

As you can imagine much of the accommodation throughout popular and lesser known resorts is built with skiers in mind. Whilst you may pay more for these ski-friendly features, the option to ‘ski in and ski out’ ensures you can take in all that the slopes have to offer.
