am thinking of doing a catered chalet with another couple of families..... never done it before always self catering.....
prob need 6 bedrooms, 12 people (6 adults 6 kids)
am guessing france is only option as they tend to do catered chalets or does someone know anywhere in italy or austria.....
with it being new year i would like a high resort (1800m) ideally, ski in ski out a bonus as all kids under 8.....
cheers

Silverski have just released their prices for next season. They only have a few properties but one may suit your group and the prices seem as decent as you get (for peak in advance). France only for them

Don't forget SkiWorld they have a fair range of chalets in Austria and France.
I can vouch for the quality of Chalet Monte Vera in St Anton. Very opulent.

I've done Ski Amis twice now, and just booked again for next Easter. I'd highly recommend them and price-wise, I think they are amongst the cheapest.
They've got some good chalets in Les Menuires, right below the main Bruyeres lift, at the foot of the piste, <100m from ski shop, ski school etc. You can probably negotiate 20% off the list price, as there was a 20% off sale until 2 days ago.
The food is decent with enormous portions, the kids meals in particular were a huge hit (my slightly fussy eaters hoovered everything that was put in front of them). The wine is, as ever with chalet holidays, borderline undrinkable.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

For France and Italy, you may try Mediavacances.com/MediaVacanze.com/MediaHols.com (same website). They are specialized in C2C holiday rentals without commission and have quite a few of self-catered chalets in most resorts.
Main points in my opinion are : quality control, competitive rent prices (C2C + no commission = roughly -15% to -30% saving) and details about lifts and pistes distances.

Ski Olympics chalet foret in les Arcs may suit the bill. They have 3 person rooms as well, so if the kids are amenable and the correct mix it may save a room.....

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Try morealps they have catered chalets in Les Arcs, Val d'Isere and La Rosiere, I can vouch for the quality of accommodation and food, good value too.

@pam w will know much better than I do, but its not an area I would initially choose to go to that early in the season. The best slopes imho are the lower ones in the 'big bowl'. It`s a great resort, but do your homework about 'usual' snow coverage at New Year. Hopefully Pam will be along soon!

I only need nursery slopes for the kids and at 1600m it’s higher than brevieres so am hoping it would be ok..... a lot easier drive from zeebruge than Tignes where we normally go.....

For high (almost 2000m) and ski in/out I'd recommend Powder n Shine at Reberty (Les Menuires). Seriously good food and drink, true ski in/out and a very short walk across the piste to the ski school kid's meeting point. https://www.powdernshine.com/

get a self catered chalet and hire in a chef. cost wise usually cheaper and you get to control the menu and the quality of wine especially if you are driving down
