The Advantages of Self-Catered Ski Chaletstop
Price of accommodation
Self-catered ski chalets tend to be less expensive than their catered counterpart so are a great option for those looking for a more budget-friendly ski holiday or those looking to have some extra Euros to enjoy the delicious local restaurants! A lower initial payment means you have more time to save your spending money in the run-up to your holiday and can afford some more treats when you arrive.
Self-Catered Ski Chalets Offer More Flexibility
Choosing to go self-catered means your time in St Martin is all yours to plan. Our self-catered chalets mean you are not basing your holiday itinerary around a catering schedule and are free to come and go as you please. Spend a little longer exploring, skiing or relaxing without being restricted to set mealtimes.

No extra food costs – It’s all included
Whilst catered ski chalet options are higher in price, the larger initial outlay means having to fork out (no pun intended) less on food when you arrive. Eating out in St Martin can be expensive so having your food included in your accommodation cost means less risk of running out of spending money mid-week.
No Cooking or Cleaning Required
Spend less time shopping, cooking and cleaning and more time skiing and exploring St Martin de Belleville. Catered ski chalets are great if you truly don’t want to lift a finger. Between shopping lists, time spent slaving over a stove and managing restaurant reservations, food tends to preoccupy a lot of our daily life. The last thing you want when you’re flying down the slopes is to be worried about that night’s dinner or the pile of washing up in the sink. Having your catering taken care of means a big aspect of your ski holiday is managed and you can use this extra time to enjoy the resort and your time spent with friends and family.
Or… why not a bit of both?top
Although both catered and self-catered ski chalets have their own advantages, who says you can’t have the best of both worlds? Some days you may want to self-cater and explore the local restaurants and other days you may want a delicious catered dinner in your own chalet. This is possible with the addition of a private chef!
Available for as many or as few days as you want, private chef Niki Roumans can provide private catering at your self-catered chalet, including a delicious breakfast, lunchtime snacks and a freshly prepared 3-course meal to round off the day.
