Great food. Happy guests

Delicious food and friendly hospitality are at the heart of our catered chalet holidays.

Here's what our guests had to say about their Ski Basics dining experience during the 2025/26 ski season.

Alicia’s cooking was a real highlight - every meal was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, something we looked forward to each day.

Ed Grice - Chalet Chamois - April, 2026

Her food was exceptional and she was such a welcoming host. I’ve been going on ski holidays for over 30 years and she is the best host I have had by far.

Tobie Hillier - Chalet Lapin - March, 2026

The food was delicious and varied. Most importantly, the service was outstanding. The staff who provided our meals (breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner) were exceptional—very kind, friendly, and above all, very attentive.

Alberto Zavalía Lagos - Chalet Brenettes - March, 2026

The food was incredible. I’m vegetarian, and was perfectly catered for! Which was hard as I’m fussy and don’t eat mushrooms.

Julia Holder - Chalet Blanchot - December, 2025

The service was truly excellent, and the meals were delicious—something we looked forward to every day after skiing.

Jennifer De Rosa - Chalet Etoile - January, 2026

Aine was an exceptional chalet host. We have had the most amazing food and she has been a delight to be around.

Sarah Toms - Chalet Boulangerie - February, 2026

Self-catered food options
Kids' food

Delicious food for little skiers

After a day on the slopes, younger guests are often ready for dinner before the adults.

Our chalet hosts can prepare a dedicated children's menu featuring family favourites, delicious homemade meals and tempting desserts. Children's dinner is normally served at 6.30pm, although our hosts are happy to discuss timings to suit your family's routine. With the children happily fed, adults can relax and enjoy their own evening meal.
