Get a handy location and the freedom of self-catering at the Perle Apartments. They’re a short walk from everything – the slopes, the town centre and the train station. You'll pick up your keys at the Hotel Alpen Resort up the road, and if you fancy getting in on their daily buffet breakfast or the pool and spa facilities, you can pay a little extra for access. When it comes to evening meals, you can rustle something up in your kitchenette, or explore some of the excellent restaurants around the resort instead.
The apartments are simple inside, with comfy twin beds and plenty of storage space, plus a shared boot room for your gear. They’ve all got a south-facing balcony or terrace where you can enjoy the sun and views – and from some you can even see the Matterhorn.

Snow Promise
This operator is offering a new and improved Snow Promise which means they'll do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow while you're on holiday. Plus, when you book your holiday before 30 November 2023, you can now change your holiday fee-free if less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you're travelling to, due to lack of snow or no snow. Not forgetting the option to upgrade to the Snow Promise Extra for even more flexibility if the snow lets you down. Find out more below.
Before You Go On Holiday
If there's a lack of snow or no snow in the ski area you're travelling to, you can change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you depart. Just so you know, they'll use the live conditions in the 4 days before you go, not the forecast conditions for your arrival. For example, if you're travelling on a Saturday, you can change your holiday from the Tuesday to the Friday before, if on Tuesday there's a lack of snow or no snow. They’ll refund the difference if your new holiday is cheaper, or you’ll need to pay the difference if the new holiday costs more.
The Snow Promise
Included with all package holidays with this operator*
Change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you go, if due to lack of snow or no snow:
- Less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Less than 2 blue/red/black/black diamond runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- You’ve booked ski school through the operator and your lessons have been cancelled.
Change your holiday to:
Any package holiday with this operator departing between December 2023 and April 2024.

The Snow Promise Extra
Optional upgrade on our package holidays (+£25pp)*
Change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you go, if due to lack of snow or no snow:
- Less than 50% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Your ski school lessons have been cancelled. And it doesn't matter if you booked through us or someone else.
Change your holiday to:
Any package holiday with this operator they have on sale for this winter, or next.
This applies when everyone on your booking upgrades to the Snow Promise Extra on or before 30 November 2023.
While You're On Holiday
Your tour operator will do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow. If you book your lift passes with the operator and less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area due to lack of snow or no snow, they'll do their best to arrange up to three days of skiing in an open resort within a 2-hour drive from the resort you're staying in. Their local team will organise the transport and your new lift pass will be paid for too, so all you have to do is hop on the coach. And even if you haven’t booked your lift passes with the operator, you can still use the coach for free.
In the worst-case scenario where they can't get you to another open resort if you booked ski school and/or lift passes with the operator, they'll refund you for any lessons that have been cancelled and you'll get your lift pass money back for any days you were unable to ski due to lack of snow or no snow.
This applies to all package holidays with this operator, even if you book the day before you travel.
