Here the chalet staff believe that quality and quantity are of the upmost importance. The Chalet staff pride themselves on the adaptability, flexibility and variety of their cooking, they do however understand that everyone has different tastes and will always endeavour to meet your culinary needs whether you have food intolerances or just down right fussy. They are both Cordon Bleu trained, have worked in reputable London catering companies, have plenty of chalet chefing experience, and many a dinner party under their belts.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially when skiing, so cereal, yoghurts, fruit, porridge, fresh croissants and bread with homemade jam, and even good old English eggs and bacon should fill you up. For an action packed day, as you leave in the morning have a pick from our basket of mini chocolate bars, piste maps and tissues waiting by the door.
