Rent a luxury self catered ski chalet in the Alps
Luxury self catered chalets are a popular choice for skiers and snowboarders, allowing you the freedom to enjoy meals at a time of day to suit you. Generally speaking, the cost of a luxury self catered ski chalet or apartment is often less than catered accommodation. This is particularly appealing if you wish to ski in a top resort at a lower price point or prefer to dine out regularly. Taste the traditional cuisine of the region and perhaps take home some inspiration to expand your own culinary repertoire.
Several resorts are home to Michelin-star restaurants, thus a self catered chalet does not mean you have to scrimp on luxury when it comes to food. We have an excellent range of the best luxury self catered ski chalets in all of the major resorts across Europe. Whether you are looking for a family-friendly chalet or intimate apartment we are sure to have something to meet your needs.

Why rent a luxury self catered ski chalet?
Value
Renting a self-catered chalet doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the best properties. Many of the finest luxury chalets, such as Chalet Elbrus in Zermatt, can be taken on a catered or self-catered basis. For a significantly reduced price, you still get to relax in the lap of luxury, whether that be in the hot tub, hammam or cinema room.
Privacy
Renting a self-catered chalet affords you more privacy than a catered chalet. Whilst some people might enjoy having staff attend to their every need, others prefer to just spend time with their friends and family, cooking together or curling up beside the fireplace without being disturbed.
Opportunities to try different restaurants
Think of all the restaurants you miss out on sampling when renting a catered chalet. Zermatt alone has 17 restaurants featured in the 2021 Gault-Millau guide for Switzerland. In a self-catered chalet you can enjoy a different dining experience every single night. Even if you’re eating in it’s always fun to peruse the aisles of the local supermarket, checking out what local delicacies and artisan products are on offer and coming up with new local dishes to cook as well as old favourites.
As the self-catered chalets and apartments in our portfolio do not offer a dedicated catering service, proximity to the village or town centre is essential for you to explore the local cuisine. However, many of our self catered luxury ski chalets do offer a pre-arrival food service which allows you to have your fridge and cupboard stocked with your favourite food on arrival.
