Chalet Catering
After a fun-filled, action-packed day on the mountain, we don’t think that there’s anything better than to come back to the mouth-watering aroma of a home-baked cake and the promise of a delicious five-course meal. It’s why we take food and drink very seriously in our chalets!
We are true foodies at heart, and you can expect the very best in treats for your stay. If you’ve ever stayed with us before you’ll know that our talented chefs and chalet hosts pride themselves on their top-notch food and service, and we love to get praise from happy, well-fed guests at the end of the week.

Alpine Elements Chalet Service
All our chalets have the same Alpine Elements level of service from our super chalet hosts, who win praise galore from guests! We hand-pick our staff for their vibrant and friendly natures and they’ll always be on hand to ensure your holiday runs smoothly.
They will lay out breakfast each morning, bake cakes or biscuits for afternoon tea; and in the evenings they’ll tease your taste buds with a delicious 3-course menu, accompanied by free-flowing wines until dessert. All this is served on six nights of your stay, leaving you free to explore the local restaurants on staff night off.
Our hosts will clean the chalet public areas each day (except staff days off) and generally help and look after you as best they can. For reasons of privacy, we do not do a daily bedroom clean and en-suite bathrooms are cleaned once a week, midweek.
Alpine Elements Hotel Service
In our exclusive hotels we pride ourselves in creating a relaxed but professional atmosphere with a diligent team always on hand to help in any way they can. We will serve breakfast each morning with yummy cooked options most days; and freshly made cakes or biscuits as you return from the lakes and mountains. In the evenings, we serve a delicious three course evening meal, which is à la carte, so you have a choice of two starters, main courses and desserts.
For one day a week our hardworking staff take a day off, so our hotels are only partly staffed on this day. The activities run as normal and a hearty continental breakfast is still provided. For dinner, you are free to explore the local restaurants.
