Ski Christmas

Its not too latter get a great Christmas ski deal with many chalets showing availability. Yes, some of the best have been snapped up, but many nice chalets offer a great chance for a great 'white' ski Christmas. Late August and September typically see many of these weeks being snapped up, although with Christmas Day falling so late in the week, there may still be chalets available well into the Autumn.

Ski Half Term

As we get close to the children returning to school, more and more of us will be turning our attention to the ski season and which school holidays we will be taking them to the slopes. For the more affluent families, this is often two holidays, and sometimes three with Christmas skiing and the ski half term weeks being the two most popular. The New Year ski week is often less so, partly due to this week being one of the most expensive in the ski calendar, but the first week of January is growing each year. Not only popular with Russians celebrating their New Year, it is also popular with many families who's children attend public schools.

I guess however that there is little competition for the most popular family ski week, with the ski half term week always a sell out and this year expect the weeks commencing the 12th and 19th of February to be the scene of five year olds embarrassing us all as they ski both faster, and with more style than us! The Fourth dimension is of course the Easter ski break, once a quiet time, with later snowfalls and longer / warmer days means its popularity is fast competing with Christmas and will probably soon pass it as the most week with the family.

Ski Christmas Chamonix

Here at Chamonix Exclusive we have been busy reviewing and publishing our prices for the 2010/11 season. It is never an easy to do as despite being a luxury ski brand, at Chalet Prarion we still believe in delivering outstanding value for money. Not only for the popular ski weeks such as Christmas, but throughout the season, price and service have to be closely aligned and I guess our ongoing success suggests we aren't too far wrong here. Next year the additional 6th en-suite bedroom, and the new games room I am sure will make Chamonix Exclusive again your favourite choice for luxury catered ski chalet accommodation in the Chamonix Valley.

One of the most popular is always the ski Christmas week and Chamonix is a great choice as it not only offers outstanding high altitude skiing, it has a great town centre to really soak up the atmosphere ahead of one of the most import dates.

At Chalet Prarion we plan the week carefully, ensuring all the Christmas decorations are tastefully set up and positioned for our clients arrival, and the menu reflects our luxury ski brand in that it isn't your average Christmas Day roast! Turkey is an option but typically our clients choose the venison or the traditional Goose with all the trimmings, all expertly produced by our professional chef.

So if next year you are looking to ski Christmas in the Chamonix Valley, Chalet prarion at 10,500 GBP for up to 12 people is probably the first Christmas gift you may wish to wrap up!

Running A Luxury Ski Chalet Is Never Dull

The last few weeks have certainly not been dull here. Many of you will have seen the press reports relating to Les Houches and Chalet Prarion and needless to say, a great deal is just speculative journalism and inappropriate in our view at that. The fact that Chalet Prarion has no employee by the name of 'Chris May', as the press claim, and never have had, speaks volumes in respect of the credence some of the reports in our opinion should be given!

On a brighter note, a happy New Year and we hope you had a great Christmas! If any readers went on a Christmas ski, or New Year ski break, lets us know your thoughts and accounts and we will try and publish one or two.

I look forward to completing a more in depth blog when I have time and perhaps the next one can focus on the luxury ski chalets in Les Houches in view of the recent attention Les Houches and the most exclusive ski in ski out chalet has received.
