Everyone seeks to get the bast value from everything and find that one of the ways to keep up the cost of skiing is an independent Chalet Holiday booking. France and Switzerland offer a large number of wooden houses, but are generally quite expensive. The wooden houses in Italy are quite rare, but Austrian excursions often offer a better value and generally offer character and charm.
If you are on your own, you can often book directly with the owner of the chalet, which has many advantages, one that is to ask questions about the location and accommodation. It also often means that accommodation is cheaper because the owner does not pay a commission agent.
You must take our flights, which is the advantage of being able to fly from the nearest airport or find the cheapest flight to your dates. You also have the option of driving a family that can save you great savings on flight costs and even on a fishing trip!
The Chalet Board generally offers half board and extra activities, such as afternoon tea and possibly lucky free drinks during the evening meals. There is often one night at a week's dinner, which means you have the opportunity to try a local restaurant. This means that you have less extra costs and you can still relax more.
Most ski holidays are 7 nights and only Saturday-Saturday. If you directly occupy it, it can be more flexible and provide you with additional benefits.
Holiday celebrating is often a popular option for a group, but this is not necessarily necessary. It is a false idea that there is a need to reserve a wooden house, as this rarely occurs.
During your holiday on a wooden house, expect the owner or the host of the cottage really to be really interested in ensuring that you have the best holiday possible.
As for the area where skiing is required, the best value for money can be found by avoiding the well-known resorts where only the name contributes. They are also very busy with elevator rows to cut off their skiing.
Check out the less well-known Austrian areas such as Styria, which has an excellent snow record. Ski Amade is the largest area in Austria, and a wonderful 860km course on a lift course that includes 26 resorts! This is not a well-known resort for the British, but it is very popular with Austrian and German skiers.
The Schladming World Cup resort is located next to Ramsau am Dachstein, which is higher than most resorts and has the Dachstein Glacier where you can ski all year round, and Burton Superpark, which is Mecca for snowboarders.
The owners of a wooden house often become the mining information when they find the best ski pass and the best skiing areas to park or catch the ski bus. If you choose to fly by plane, you can rent a car or arrange transfers either through the chalet or with a local company. The best solution depends on the location of the accommodation. The car provides the most flexibility and makes it possible to get the most out of the area, especially when the ski lift has more ski areas. The Austrian ski buses are very efficient and generally freely available.
If you learn to ski, Austria offers full-day ski school lessons that will speed up your development and instructors generally speak excellent English.
The ski school from the age of four is also provided with some ski schools during lunchtime. Crèches or childcare facilities are often available for children.
In my experience, if you hire a self-contained Chalet Holiday, it is likely to happen again and again.
