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.
Dietary requirements? We've got you covered
Everyone should be able to enjoy delicious food on their ski holiday.
Our chalet cooks are happy to accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free diets. Whether you need alternative milk for breakfast, specially prepared afternoon treats or adjustments to your evening meals, we'll do our best to ensure you have a wonderful dining experience.
Simply let us know about any dietary requirements through your My Ski Basics booking portal before your arrival.
For severe allergies or more complex dietary requirements, please contact us in advance so we can discuss your needs and confirm what we can accommodate.
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.
