Catering Service

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.
5 x Afternoon snack; enjoy both savoury and sweet snacks, freshly prepared by the staff each day.
6 x Dinner; 3-course meal consisting of a starter, a main course and a dessert. The dishes are internationally oriented, whilst using local products and specialities. Both white and red wine is offered with the meal (ca. half a bottle per person) and there’s tea or coffee after the meal.

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.

Packed lunches can also be added to your booking for an additional fee. The staff will provide extra bread and sandwich filling so sandwiches can be made to enjoy on the slopes later that day.

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.

Vegetarian and special diet meals are also available but must be requested when booking the catering service. Additional preferences can also be specified, and will be carried out if possible.

Please note: due to the limited availability of catering staff, catering service is always upon request.
It may happen that the price of catering service changes during the season, or that providing catering service is no longer possible in a specific week. The moment the catering service is confirmed to you, the price is fixed and there is staff appointed to you. Therefore, it is not possible to cancel catering service.

So if you want to enjoy catering service, we recommend you to arrange this immediately when you book your holiday.
Catering is always booked for the whole chalet. For children up until 2 years old no costs will be charged, as there will be provided no meals for them. For children from 3 up to 9 years old are reduced rate will be charged.
