A look at the world’s top ski resorts.

Ski chalet

Christmas is the perfect time to take the family for a skiing holiday and it is not hard to understand why. The ample snow allows for perfect conditions to ski while the kids revel in the festive atmosphere. This is also the time of the year when ski resorts deck themselves up to welcome the guests with the best hospitality that they can offer.

A fully catered ski chalet provides just that special feel that can enhance any skiing holiday experience. Not only it should  be cost effective, easily accessible, serve fine cuisine, have ample childcare facilities, most importantly it should have an apt location. This will enable the guest to ski-in and ski-out in the shortest period of time by being on the first lifts in the mornings. To find out what is the best for you and your family, we have narrowed down our search to a selection of some of the best chalets for Christmas ski holidays, out of the thousands who vie with each other to attract skiers.
