Ski Chalets

Powder chalets are a new company who will soon be bringing you great ski chalets in great ski resorts across the Alps and is set to launch at the beginning of October with a number of chalets across Europe and in 2011 the USA too. Chamonix, Verbier, and Val d'Isere are thre resorts that will be heavily featured we are told, with Powdeer Chalets offering some of the best chalets in the Alps here in Val d'Isere.

Skiing Half Term

AThere probably isn't a better resorts to ski half term in comparison to Val d'Isere where we combine fantastic high altitude skiing for all the family with a charm and sophistication that few resorts come close to matching. However, this comes with a price, and that's availability, as one of the most sort after luxury ski resorts the chalets don't remain available for long, especially when we talking the ski half term week.

Luxury Catered Chalet

Occasionally we come across great chalets in addition to Val d'Isere, and as Chamonix is one of my favourite getaway ski resorts along with Val d'Isere, you may not be surprised to find that this chalet is in Les Houches in the Chamonix Valley.

Clearly we are bias towards Val d'Isere, but for guests who may find that Val d'Isere is a stretch to far on their ski budget, Chalet Prarion is a great luxury catered family chalet that is well worth considering, having six bedrooms that accommodate up to 12 people, a Games Room, cinema projection, sunken hot tub, 4 staff, and yet the price varies between £7,200 to £14,500 at the peak season.

Gay Ski

Pink Ski, who are due to introduce a gay ski holiday site for gay skiers and their friends and family. The prime focus being to provide information on the places for the best welcome and some great skiing too. We wish them well.  

Easter Skiing

It always a slight anti-climax, even after a great Easter ski holidays, but the end of the Easter ski break is the signal typically that we are slowly entering the twilight zone of the season. A great Easter ski break with some fantastic fresh snow that summed up a great season. As we see out the last few ski days, we won't be packing up at the end of the season and will keep posting latest news and articles.

There are numerous great chalets to mention, but probably my favourite Val d'Isere luxury catered chalet would be Chalet Yeti. Style, exclusivity in terms of its location, and a stunning, but very warm interior. And by the way, did I happen to mention that its ski in ski out?

Well there we go, the end of the ski Half Term holidays. Val d'Isere, with its extensive range of properties with great access to the slopes, some even ski in ski out, ensured ski family holiday visitors had a wonderful time with great snow and good sunshine.
