All Is Quiet During the Month of June

The month of June is always a quiet month for ski operators as client attentions turn towards their summer holidays and most of the maintenance issues have been crossed off in May. Three or four years ago June was a different picture with many ski chalets going through wholesale transformations either prior to the summer months of July and August or in the larger transformations the winter season. The economic recession has certainly put a stop on the renovation market and most operators today are undergoing the bare minimum hoping for sunnier days in the not too distant future.

Whilst ski in ski out holidays have bucked the downturn, the poor currency exchange between the Pound and the Euro has cut spending also.

Chalet Ski Holidays Chamonix

If you are looking for a great ski in ski out chalet in Chamonix, Chalet Ski are offering the 5 star Chalet Prarion, once frequented by a rather famous golfers wife we are led to believe! Situated right on the piste, this fabulous 6 bedroom chalet has a sunken hot tub on a south facing decking, Projection Cinema, its own Games Room with a full sized pool table and 50 inch plasma Wii station, and four staff to pamper your every whim!

Families in particular will just love the free Nanny service and childrens ski school drop off that will just take the hassle out of skiing with children. There is also a childrens entertainment hour so you can enjoy some apres-ski or just relax without hassle in the sunken hot tub.

Ski In Ski Out Chalets

If you are like us and believe the best ski chalet holidays are on the piste you may be pleased to know that our friends at Chalet Ski have just launched a new site called Ski In Ski Out Chalets which to coin the Ronseal advert "does everything it says on the tin".  Providing just ski in ski out slopeside chalets it is the A to Z of ski in ski out holidays from what we have seen with Chalets being added daily.

Chalet Ski

Chalet Ski have just announced a series of new websites that are to be launched next month, one of which will be a dedicated site just for ski in ski out properties. Sharing our views, these will be 'true' ski in ski out chalets and therefore next to the piste we are told, and not via a disused railway line, in between Aunties Bloomers and crossing a 20 foot river! Fingers crossed!

Ski New Year

This year the New Year ski break looks set to be one of the busiest yet again with many chalets already booked, and those that aren't filling up pretty damped quick during September and early October. With groups coming in to party, the first chalets to are typically the catered chalets with anything else not far behind. Val d'Isere is particularly popular with its nightlife and great skiing, as is Zermatt for its chocolate box charm, Verbier for its nightlife, and Chamonix for its skiing. But book early if you don't want to miss out on the good times!!

Ski In Ski Out

As we get closer to August and the end of summer, yet again our thoughts turn towards the ski season and the hopes of early snowfalls and November on the slopes! And after a nervous 2009 and 2010 ski season, the 2011 ski season looks set to be a bumper season for bookings as anyone who missed the previous years, looks to avoid missing out this winter.

Talking to Ski In Ski Out Chalets, demand is particularly strong for slope side convenience so for the best ski in ski out accommodation an early enquiry is therefore advisable.

Family Chalets

The great thing about ski in ski out holidays is that it really does take the hassle out of a family ski chalet holiday. If you have had to carry your ski equipment and your children onto a bus, or down snow covered, slippery paths and roads, whilst trying to stop children falling in front of cars, you will probably be able to identify with the benefits.

Step outside the door, put on the skis, and start the family ski day as it should, happy and effortless as the children ski down to their ski school.
