With some ski companies out of business and others cutting their offerings for next winter a handful are taking on new properties in the Alps. One such company is Ski France.

It has secured 10 new chalets in Alpe d’Huez, Val d’Isere and La Tania.

Ski France has increased its number of chalets as other operators have dropped theirs and now have a portfolio of around 50 in prime French alpine resorts.

Previously the operator concentrated more on apartments with self-catering.

“We have picked up several chalets over the past 12-months and there is likely more to come,” said the UK Sales and Marketing Manager for Ski France, Zac Brown, to PlanetSKI.

“There is of course uncertainty over next winter but we have our heads up and hope it all works out.”

“The news of travel from an amber list country for people with a double vaccination is a very good development and we are continuing to take bookings in for next winter as we believe chalets remain a population option for UK skiers and snowboarders.”

Eight of them are in Alpe d’Huez in the Isere region of France.

Next winter Ski France is also specialising in so-called ‘Contactless Chalets’ to reduce interaction with people outside the accommodation group.

Guests arrive at their chalet to find food in the fridge, cool beer or chilled wine ready to drink, firewood stacked and beds made.

There will be a selection of fresh ingredients to cook with, easy recipes to follow and dishes prepared by a local delicatessen.

Skis or snowboards will be reserved at the local hire shop and lift passes booked.

Halfway through the week, when the guests are out skiing, the backstage chalet crew will clean the accommodation from top to bottom, replace towels and re-stock the fridge and cupboards.

Staff will be at the end of the phone whenever needed, but there will be no contact unless necessary or wished for.
