House very nice, but the location makes it difficult to walk to the village with children. In addition, it is an apartment for 12 people and there is no restaurant in the village with room for so many people! please advise future tenants to book full catering if they do not want to cook for themselves

Please note: due to the limited availability of catering staff, catering service is always upon request.
If you are looking for a carefree ski holiday, then catering service is an absolute must. The chalet staff takes care of the meals, does the dishes and cleans the common areas of the chalet. The chalet staff usually works in the ski resort during the whole winter season.
The day starts with an extensive breakfast. After the skiing something yummy will be prepared for you, like a homemade cake or a cheese board. In the evening you can enjoy a freshly cooked three course dinner, accompanied by a glass of wine.
The service is provided by the chalet staff, who makes sure that the living room is clean and cosy during your stay. The staff doesn´t live in the chalet and has one day per week off. On this day, they will provide fresh bread and make sure all breakfast supplies are available in the chalet. Because of the planning, it is possible that the day off is scheduled for the last evening and the last morning. The day off will be communicated during your stay.
What's included?
7 x Extensive breakfast (of which once self-service); fresh bread from the local bakery, croissants, chocolate rolls, eggs, yoghurt, various cereals, various sweet and savoury sandwich fillings, fruit, juices, milk, coffee and tea.

Wine is the only alcoholic beverage that is served. If you don’t like to drink wine, the staff can provide an alternative to your preference to accompany the meals, when noted in good time. The wine (or alternative) will only be served during dinner, any other drinks you are allowed to bring yourself. Or you can choose to book our Drinks included upgrade.
Upon arrival our chalet staff will welcome you in the chalet and it will be possible to discuss the desired serving times of the meals and the day that the chalet staff is off. To ensure breakfast can be served on time and they can arrange any other preparations for the meals, they receive their own key of the chalet.
