Ski Val d'Isere

This week Ski In Out have added the exceptional Chalet Yeti to the the very impressive Ski In Ski Out Portfolio. In Val d'Isere, the luxury catered ski chalet portfolio boasts 6 outstanding ski in out, boutique luxury chalets.

At ski in out, the ratings unlike some operators are based on fair and objective criteria, and therefore some of the ski chalets that other agencies would class as 5 star ski chalets, here are only marked 4 star! But in this collection of six outstanding ski in ski out luxury catered ski chalets, everyone is a 5 star luxury boutique chalet.

Ski In Ski Out - Chalets

The specialist Ski In Ski Out site, www.skiinskiout-chalets.com will shortly be going through  rebranding exercise. The new site is going to be called www.skiinout.com and the new ski in ski out logo will receive a darker, more luxurious ski make over, as will the main site, whilst retaining the current characteristics.

The new ski in out brand as you will see here retains the skis within the the 'ki' but accentuates a stronger 'ski in ski out' imagery with the 'n' and the 'u' linking the ski 'in' and 'out' convenience that such ski in ski out holidays deliver.

We certainly feel it brings a stronger appeal but would welcome your feedback before its official launch in February.

Heavy Snowfall Across Europe Brings Great Ski in Ski Out Conditions

This week it seem that nearly every house in Europe and parts of America are ski in ski out!! Heavy snowfall and an arctic freeze have transferred much of the two continents into a winter wonderland! From a ski holiday perspective, this is great news as ski conditions have gone from good, to fantastic, with more snow expected this weekend and next week.

This said, the cold weather, whilst preserving the powder for the ski powder enthusiasts amongst you, has meant skiers have had to wrap up warm with that extra layer. The Family Ski Advice Blog has some useful tips for children's ski clothing, that at the current time might be useful for older ski holiday makers too!

Enjoy the great snow, but wrap up warm. And if you haven't booked already, it not too late to book that ski in ski out holiday!

Ski In Ski Out - Les Houches, Chamonix

Les Houches this week seemed to receive a great deal of attention in the press this week, although reading between the lines, there was more than an element of creative journalism (we are of course being nice here with our wording)!

Les Houches certainly is one of the gems in the Chamonix Valley and has steadily built up a select and knowing following who love the quaint, and pretty Les Houches, and its large chalets and alpine gardens. Whilst at one time Les Houches chalets were predominantly owned or given to the farming community, the Les Houches luxury chalets we now see are a far cry from these, and the old farm houses transformed into luxury boutique chalets.

As for the ski in ski out Les Houches chalets, these are few and far between, and there are few of note. According to press reports, one of them, Chalet Prarion, is the most exclusive ski in ski out chalets in the world and we tend to agree. However, the claims of this property being $10,000 a night appear somewhat 'expanded', and this ski in ski out luxury chalet Les Houches can be secured from anything ranging from $10,000 for a week, up to $20,000 in high season.
