Location: where is Chalet Luka

Comfortable chalet in a convenient location

Overview: chalet description: Chalet Luka description

This wooden clad chalet has plenty of character and we have divided it in to three chalets which are all on separate floors with their own front door. Chalet Luka is independently run, chalets Luka and Matea can be combined and arrangements made to eat together if a whole group takes over both chalets for sole use. There is one central staircase connecting the chalets and the heated boot room on the lower ground floor.

The village centre is quite literally just along the road and it is a short walk to the gondolas and chair lifts, an ideal location for the keen skier who wants to be on the slopes quickly without any fuss.

The Chalet Luka has it's own lounge and dining area and has been completely refurbished for this season and is full of character, which we are sure will be popular with our guests.

Meals: Chalet Luka food & drink

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff involved in food preparation are trained to the City & Guilds qualification – Level 2 in Food Safety during the pre-season training course. There is a continental breakfast is every morning and a breakfast hot option, afternoon tea and evening dinners are provided for six days of the week in both chalets and Chalet Hotels.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a hot option, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff day off, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff day off. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready.

Children's High Tea

In chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 11 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in Chalets

In the evenings our hosts will cook you a three-course adult only meal six nights a week. This starts with a glass of prosecco followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert – with unlimited complimentary red, white and rosé wine during service! There is also an option for vegetarians, please warn us in advance.

One of these meals will be a regional meal with the menu depending on which country you are staying in.

On the staff one night off per week just a continental breakfast is provided and it’s a great opportunity for you to experience some local restaurants in your resort. Speak to your resort representative for recommendations and help with reservations.

Vegetarian and Special Diets

Vegetarian options are available in our properties – just advise us at time of bookings so that we can ensure that our staff can prepare. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared. Our Chalet Hosts will discuss your dietary requirements with you upon arrival to the chalet or Chalet Hotel.

Christmas and New Year

All of our chalets and Chalet Hotels will serve a traditional Christmas dinner with a glass of Champagne to start off the evening. This will include roast turkey with all of the trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, crackers and party hats plus a fantastic Alpine atmosphere in which to enjoy the day.

A special festive menu will also be served on New Year’s Eve, alongside the added bonus that many resorts put on fantastic firework displays. A glass of fizz, whilst watching fireworks over the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.. what better way to bring in the New Year!

Our Quality Wines

We are very proud of our wine selection for chalets and Chalet Hotels, which combines crisp and fruity whites with medium to full-bodied reds, for a variety of palates. We select our wines in conjunction with our good friends Nicolas and Véronique – the third generation in the Perret family’s fine wine business based in the Savoie. Nicolas is a qualified wine expert, having trained at the prestigious Burgundy Wine University in Beaune. Each season in October, Nicolas & Véronique bring over a new selection for us to sample (someone has to do it!) and together we choose our wines for the coming season, based on our menus and their pure enjoyment factor. Wine is an incredibly subjective and emotive subject, however, the feedback we have received from our guests over recent seasons endorses our aims of providing wines to enhance your meal and to suit most tastes. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do!

We update Chalet Luka's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

Pretty mountain village High altitude skiing Jaw-dropping scenery

It’s no surprise that Arabba has such a loyal following of dedicated skiers and boarders. A charming little village high up in the heart of the Dolomites, it has fantastic ski links, the best snow around and an infectiously easy-going vibe. We love the traditional Ladin charm and character and as for the location, the scenery speaks for itself.

This idyllic destination is nestled in the heart of the Dolomites surrounded by the Livinallongo valley in Ladin-speaking Veneto. With the striking Sella Massif and Portavesco mountain ranges on either side and the presence of the Marmolada mountain (fondly known as the ‘Queen of the Dolomites’), Arabba's beautiful landscape forms part of a UNESCO World heritage site. One of the highest resorts in Italy, Arabba is small and cosy with traditional mountain architecture housing quaint bars, restaurants, hotels...
The Arabba-Marmolada area is surrounded by numerous mountain passes which means incredible links to the nearby resorts in the Sella Ronda and Val di Fassa. The Passo Pordoi at 2,239m links Arabba to Belvedere above Canzaei in the Val di Fassa, the Passo Campolongo connects it to Alta Badia and Corvara whilst the Passo Pordon links to the challenging slopes on the Marmolada peak. Within these, skiers will love the variety of high steep terrain, exciting powder bowls and gentle descents against a stunning backdrop...
There’s a laid back après scene with most evenings spent in easy-going bars, trying out the local cuisine and relaxing in the comfortable accommodation. Stop off on the slopes at Rifugio Fodom for a midday pick-me-up and enjoy spectacular views from the balcony. In true Italian style, take a time out with a coffee and a mouth-watering pastry at a traditional cafe- the cakes at Pasticceria Caffe Gelateri Genziana are not to be missed. There are a few local specialities which are definitely worth a try - Bomb...

"Great chalet girls and boys, hearty food"

Sno man, Sno Staff
4/ out of 5
Attached to chalets Matea and Elena, you have plenty fellow skiers close to hand, letting you relax either with company or independently. Less than four hundred metres to the ski lifts, and a couple of minutes’ walk from the town centre, a cheery walk in the beautifully placed resort is the best way to start a morning on the mountain after a hearty breakfast. Be sure to get back in time for afternoon tea, and then sample the local town culture before returning for dinner and wine. Another of our favourites because of the quality of the hosting and food and wine which they serve.
