Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Chalet for large group

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all, sorry if this had been asked before. Did try a search initially.

I’m looking for recommendations/help/advice. I am after a chalet for a large group (4-6 families, so 16-24 people) April 2020. I want somewhere high and great for kids ski school. Drivable from UK would be good. Thinking Avoriaz, Les Arcs/La Plange. I know Flaine very well too so that’s another option but the big chalets are out of town, I think.

Could you suggest any providers/websites or am I better off using Air bnb or something similar??

Thanks

www.chaletfinder.co.uk I've not actually booked anything through them but used them for searches when I was looking for a similar number a couple of seasons back. Good luck in sorting a big trip out!

You won't go wrong with http://www.ice-fire.co.uk/
Based in La Plagne, they have 3, 16 people chalets and 1 that sleeps 24.

We stayed in the Bon Vie last year. Group of 10. Amazing time. You can see my trip report here. https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=136142&highlight=plagne

Also just stayed in La Tania with http://www.come-ski.com/ but I don't think they would be able to accommodate just a large group. Unless you booked up both their chalets! Both are lovely and in great locations plus very close to each other.

I got a list of chalets I found when hunting last year.
Think this looks ideal size wise (was on our shortlist for this year trip):-
https://www.chalet-les-loups.fr/ Its a big chalet + there is a smaller chalet. Maybe put any teenagers in there to give them some space
Some others depending on your group size

Another recommendation for ice&fire...... We are with them now, just two of us with the entire chalet to ourselves. The staff are great, the chalet even better, the facilities spot on, and the food is first class. Reckon I've put on half a stone in two days!

So far they've really helpful, answering any questions we might have etc...so hopefully should all work out. Fingers crossed for a cold Alps Easter Smile

I've just remembered that Peak Retreats have a section for groups https://www.peakretreats.co.uk/winter/holiday-types/accommodation/large-ski-accommodation but all this will be self catering.

The actual group deal I booked half term 2 years ago was a catered chalet for 22 (think we had a couple of spare beds) via Sunweb but it was quite basic and can't see it this year - Auhof in Flachau - but then it was only £550ish catered inc lift passes plus travel for HT and we had a variable budgets among the group so it ticked those boxes and we had a good week! Might be worth giving Sunweb a ring.
