How much is a package ski holiday?
Prices for a package ski holiday vary depending on whether you’re looking for a group holiday or a solo holiday and what time of year you’re looking to go. If you head to the slopes in peak season you’ll pay a little more for the hustle and bustle than if you join us in resort during the quieter weeks of the season.
How do I book a package ski holiday?

What should I pack for a package ski holiday?
First time skiing? We’ve got you! For your first time skiing, you’ll need:
Goggles
Gloves
Layers of moisture-wicking clothing
Ski socks
A buff
All the practical items… and maybe a hip flask!
You’ll also need all the ski equipment, which you can of course, hire with us.
What's the best time of year for a ski holiday?
February is a favourite month for ski lovers across Europe as the weather is great and it coincides with school holidays. Skiing outside of this time is just as enjoyable and challenging on the slopes, with a bit more space to explore the surrounding areas and enjoy the apres ski in peace.
What does a package ski holiday include?
Our ski holidays include return flights and transfers, accommodation in an incredible ski chalet. You’ll also receive 6 days of 3 course dinners served with French wine, 5 mornings of cooked breakfast and 6 days of freshly baked afternoon tea.
I've never been skiing before. Can I get ski lessons on holiday?
Package ski holidays are great for novice and experienced skiers alike. From group lessons for all the family, to one-to-one tuition with experienced ski instructors. A ski lesson can have you falling in style to rushing the slopes in no time. Ski Vertigo package ski holidays can include lessons for adults and children. Contact us to add ski lessons to your booking!
Can I rent ski clothing and ski equipment for my ski holiday?
You can hire all your ski equipment including, skis, snowboards, poles and helmets as an additional extra on your Ski Vertigo holiday. There are also outlets that exist that do a hire service for clothing and renting your clothing represents a huge saving over purchase, though it’s not something we can book for you.
Do ski chalets have Wi-Fi?
We do have Wi-Fi in all of our ski chalets, however being up in the mountains our Wi-Fi speed is generally slower than you will be used to at home. This means streaming can be difficult. But who needs streaming when you’ve got the glorious slopes on your doorstep!
Sending and receiving emails and messages is usually fine as well as internet browsing.
The construction of many of our buildings also means that the Wi-Fi is generally limited to the living room areas. We are continuously investing in routers and boosters to improve the service, but sometimes you may experience intermittent service and this is beyond our control.
Are toiletries, towels and linen provided in a ski holiday chalet?
Toiletries, towels, bed linen, cot sheets, and bedding are provided in all our ski chalets. Bathrobes and slippers are provided in all chalets with a hot tub, sauna or steam room. Towels are changed once during the week, if you wish.
What type of food can you get in a catered ski chalets?
Our chalet menus have been carefully designed by our Executive Chef to serve our guests with imaginative and great-tasting cuisine. Our ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible and all our chefs are proud of what they create.
Our catered ski chalet service includes 5 days of cooked breakfasts, 6 days of afternoon tea and cakes, 6 evenings of 3-course meals including aperitif, canapés plus wine and coffee.
I have dietary requirements. Can you cater for special diets and/or allergies in the ski holiday chalets?
Vegetarian meals can be served. This must be reserved at the time of booking and not later than four weeks before departure. Other special diets including gluten-free, dairy, and wheat-free can be provided. This must be confirmed to us at the time of booking at a charge of £49 per person.
All dietary requirements or allergies must be confirmed at the time of booking or in writing not later than four weeks before departure. Please contact our team for more information and amend your booking.
What transfer is included in my holiday?
All of our holidays include return shared transfers from Lyon Airport to the resort. You will be advised of your departure time from the chalet whilst you are on your holiday. This is likely to be around three hours before your scheduled arrival time at the airport, depending on which resort you are staying in, the weather and traffic conditions.
What happens on a package ski holiday when the chalet staff have a day off?
Ski Vertigo chalet staff day off is on Wednesdays, although chalet staff day off may change to accommodate Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. You will be informed of this at the time of booking.
In exceptional circumstances e.g. illness, the day off may be altered but you will be informed of any changes by your Resort Manager.
On the chalet staff’s day off, your breakfast is laid out ready for the morning and afternoon tea is also prepared in advance. We ask that guests clear up afterwards and leave the kitchen ready for the staff the next day. Guests are asked to eat out in the evening and not use the kitchen facilities in the chalet.
What happens to lost property?

Please complete a lost property form, found under ‘useful links’, with as much detail as possible.
