Think of it a little like staying in a small boutique hotel, with the added atmosphere and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/service\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">service of a catered ski chalet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

There is no coordinating between different hotels or apartments and no deciding whose accommodation you are meeting at each evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_we_split_the_cost\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do we split the cost?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our chalet prices are shown for the whole chalet, rather than per person, so how you divide the cost between your group is entirely up to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most groups simply divide the chalet price by the number of people travelling. For example, eight friends staying in an eight-person chalet might split the cost equally between eight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do not need to nominate one organiser to collect everybody&#8217;s money either. Our online Ski Basics portal allows each member of the group to log in using the group booking details, select themselves from the guest list and pay their own balance. If you would rather, the group leader can also collect the money and make one payment on behalf of everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A \u00a3300 deposit is required when you book, with the final balance due 10 weeks before your holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve found a chalet you love but are still waiting for the group chat to reach a decision, you can hold your chosen chalet for 48 hours, giving you time to confirm numbers and get everyone on board before paying your deposit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_people_can_stay_in_a_Ski_Basics_chalet\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many people can stay in a Ski Basics chalet?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/catered-chalets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Meribel chalets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> range from cosy six-person properties to larger chalets sleeping up to 14, many with en-suites or plenty of bathrooms, so there are options for groups of all shapes and different sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do not have to fill every bed. When you book a whole chalet, the price is based on the property for the week, so you are free to use the bedrooms however works best for your group. This does mean the chalet price remains the same if you travel with fewer people than its maximum capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/skiing-with-children\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">travelling with children<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and need a little extra space, many of our chalets also have space for Z beds and baby cots, so speak to our team and they will be able to advise on the best possible set up for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For even bigger groups, we have the option of exclusive booking of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/catered-chalets\/chalet-chamois.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chalet Chamois<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/catered-chalets\/chalet-lapin.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chalet Lapin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/catered-chalets\/chalet-brenettes.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chalet Brenettes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, known as &#8216;The Trio&#8217;, all located together on the same plot in Meribel Centre. Sleeping 8, 6 and 8 respectively, they are ideal for larger groups who want the benefits of their own chalet spaces while still staying right next door to one another. The chalets share spa facilities and, on request, we can also help arrange space for everyone to come together for group evenings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your numbers increase after you have booked, just let us know. Where the chalet allows, we may be able to add an extra bed. There will usually be an additional charge per guest to account for catering and other costs, but our team can talk you through the options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_included_in_a_group_chalet_stay\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s included in a group chalet stay?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest advantages of choosing a catered chalet for a group ski holiday is just how much is already taken care of from the moment you book to when you leave us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whichever chalet you choose, the essentials are taken care of for the whole group: catered meals, a dedicated host, housekeeping, ski storage and more, so nobody needs to think about the details once you&#8217;ve booked. For the full breakdown of what&#8217;s included with each service option, take a look at our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/whats-included-in-a-catered-ski-chalet\/\">what&#8217;s included in a catered ski chalet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4785 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/AMC8751-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Ski Basics Chalet host opening a bottle of wine for guest in catered ski chalet in Meribel Village\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/AMC8751-scaled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/AMC8751-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/AMC8751-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/AMC8751-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/800;\" \/>Practical ski essentials are covered too. Chalets have ski storage and boot warmers, and if you are staying more than a five-minute walk from the slopes, our driver service will get you to and from the lifts and the Ski Basics drivers will be available for lifts from the main lift area (La Chaunanne) in Meribel Centre each day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also the option to pre-order essentials such as ski hire and lift passes for delivery at your chalet for when you arrive &#8211; removing the need to head over to the shop or into town to get your passes meaning you get get settled straight in at the chalet or head straight out to get the holiday started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many properties also have their own spa facilities, from hot tubs and saunas to dedicated wellness areas. Families can request cots, highchairs and children&#8217;s meals, with books and games available for keeping younger guests entertained back at the chalet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On selected weeks in January, Meribel Valley lift passes are also included in the price of your stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flights, airport transfers, ski hire, lift passes outside of these selected weeks, mountain lunches, travel insurance and any additional food and drinks outside of your catered package are not included. However, as we will come onto next, that does not necessarily mean you need to organise all of them yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_catering_work_for_groups\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does catering work for groups?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having breakfast and dinner taken care of is particularly handy when you are travelling as a group. Rather than needing to pop to the supermarket or finding a restaurant with a table for 10 or 12 people every evening, you can come home from the slopes knowing dinner is already being prepared for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breakfast is typically served from 8am, with afternoon tea ready for your return from skiing. Dinner can be served at either 7.30pm or 8pm depending on your group&#8217;s preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For families, children&#8217;s meals can be served earlier at around 6pm or 6.30pm, giving younger guests the chance to eat before the adults sit down for dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can also cater for all dietary requirements, allergies and preferences. Simply give us the details before you travel so your chalet team can plan your menus and make sure everything needed is stocked ready for your arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your chalet host has two evenings off during the week, which is also a good opportunity to head out and try some of Meribel&#8217;s restaurants. Our resort team can help you choose somewhere suitable for the whole group and handle the making reservations for you too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would prefer to spend the evening in the chalet, you can simply kick back and relax doing your own thing or we can arrange for everything you need for a traditional raclette night to be delivered to you<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">f you are celebrating something special, why not bring in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themountainmixologist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mountain Mixologist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for an evening of expertly made cocktails without leaving your own living room?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to get a better idea of how it all comes together?

Take the Ski Basics driver to the lifts, head off to different areas or runs and arrange to regroup for coffee or lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do the same later in the day.

We can talk through the options based on your approximate group size and help you work out what is likely to suit you best.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_book_a_group_ski_holiday_with_Ski_Basics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to book a group ski holiday with Ski Basics<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do not need to arrive with a spreadsheet containing everybody&#8217;s skiing ability, dietary requirements and preferred side of the bed before you can enquire!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get started, all we really need to know is roughly how many people are travelling and when you would like to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, you can tell us as much or as little as you already know. If you have a budget, want to be particularly close to the slopes, have children travelling with you or have your heart set on a hot tub, just let us know. We can recommend the chalets that best fit your group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already know what you are looking for, you can explore our chalets online, compare sizes, facilities and locations and check availability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a particular week in mind?
