Poster: A snowHead
|
Having just had a lovely holiday in Flangesax’s place forhalf term, my mind is turning to next season and I was wondering if anybody can recommend anywhere similar- independently run, catered chalet where you can book the whole chalet and get a group together for half term that is in Italy? Been a few years since we have been to Italy and fancy returning.
Many thanks.

Not sure if Bardonecchia would suit your group, it's smallish and I have no idea how busy at half term. I have also not been! So not a real recommendation but somewhere I have looked at whilst researching similar is www.sempreski.com, a chalet run by a british couple. Website certainly worth a look

So far that’s the only one I have found and I have contacted them but they don’t have the whole chalet available that week as they have already taken some bookings.
So although not ruled out, was hoping to get an exclusive use chalet again.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Another question.... How big is your group? Www.dolomitesunltd.com have Chalet Albergo Frohsinn in the dolomites but it seats about 40! Great location in San Cassiano but I suspect may also be part booked

As I haven’t started engaging others yet - undecided. However we are 4, my parents are keen to join us. So make 6. My sister would like to join us again if finances come together so plus 3. There is a possibility of her friend and his children. Plus another 3. There are other families I know who may wish to join in for right deal. So 12+ places. Sleeps 16 or 18 may be quite doable etc.
Was working on principle of finding somewhere suitable, then see who is prepared to sign up for it
Wasn’t thinking anywhere as big at 40.

I was getting to point of thinking will book the Sempreski one so went back to confirm which actual rooms were available to be told they are now fully booked.
If anybody know any others or other countries as well, please could you shout?

@Hells Bells, thanks for the suggestion, sadly too steep for us. Based on this seasons prices it would be £3340 for just the accommodation (they don’t dicsount children at all!) without flights, lift passes and lessons. I was targeting £4K for the lot. Which SempreSki would have given us.

Hotels rather than chalet but you might like to look at Commezzadura (lift directly into Folgarida-Marilleva + ski access to Madonna di Campiglio with the area pass). Hotel Genzianella is smaller so you could well book it out yourselves. Nice food, friendly hosts, warm welcome. Hotel Almazzago is larger but has 2 buildings so you might be able to take over the smaller one, incl small pool, wellness spa etc. Val di Sole offers varied skiing, quiet nightlife and is very affordable and friendly. These 2 hotels I know from personal experience but have spoken to guests who have used other hotels in Commezzadura and they all get a positive recommendation too.
(Btw you can store your skis/boots at the base station each evening and can wait for the minibus back to hotel or walk c300-400m back.)
