Overview: chalet description: Chalet Schatzi description

NB: This is a "family" chalet, so all bookings must include at least one child or teenager.

The delightful Chalet Schatzi is positioned in a prime location at the foot of the village slopes in La Rosière. The spacious family suites and independent lounge areas make this a superb family chalet and one that has proved to be immensely popular with our guests year after year.

Entrance to the Schatzi's bedrooms is via a central staircase with an external code-locked entrance to the communal areas.

Nursery and Sprite/let children and their accompanying staff use the dining area at lunchtime.

Ski Childcare & Children’s Ski Lessons

We have led the childcare concept for UK families on skiing holidays for the last 35 years and our programme is constantly reviewed and refined, with previous guest feedback always the key element in further enhancing the experience.

For parents, Classic Childcare means being able to leave your accommodation after breakfast to head for the first lifts, only needing to return after the last one shuts. We look after your children completely throughout the ski day if you wish.

While the babies and toddlers go to our Nursery, staff take the older ones to our partner ski-school, collect them, give them lunch, run activities to keep them happy and stimulated and then take them back to their chalets for their high tea, giving you our super-convenient ‘Seamless Service’ throughout the day.

Meals: Chalet Schatzi food & drink

We set high standards for our cuisine, training our staff extensively before the season starts to ensure that you will enjoy every meal.

One of the joys of choosing to take a catered chalet ski holiday is that you’re not doing the cooking. Our staff prepare and serve breakfast, afternoon tea and a 3 course evening meal including wine and coffee, on six days a week in our chalets on our staff day off, a continental breakfast will be provided for you.

The staff night off gives you a chance to sample some of the delicious local restaurants an ensure that you don’t leave the Alps without your fill of Weiner Schnitzel or Fondue! Our Baby Listening Service ensures that you can enjoy your meal out without worry.

Let us take care of the cooking and with the Baby Listening Service, all the family can sit back, relax and focus on the skiing!

Breakfast

In all our properties breakfast is served buffet-style with a selection of cold options including a choice of cereals or porridge, cold meats, cheese and preserves, bread (and croissants in France), fruit juices, tea and coffee and a cooked breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs and beans.

On the staff day off, a continental style breakfast is laid out for you to help yourselves in all chalets.

Afternoon Tea

Every day, apart from our staff day off, a home-baked cake and tea and coffee making facilities are laid out for you to help yourself when you return from the slopes.

Chalet Meals

High Tea at 5.30pm is served as a 2 course evening meal for all children under 11 as many parents prefer to enjoy adult-only company over dinner. Parents are asked to accompany their children under 3, whilst 3-10 years old are supervised by our childcare team.

Adult dinner at 7.30pm comprises 3 courses including an appetiser, main dish and dessert, preceded by a prosecco apéritif, accompanied by a choice of red, rose and white wines, and culminating with tea or coffee.

If it's important to you to eat dinner altogether as a family, we offer Family Dining in any chalet when you book the entire chalet for exclusive use. Dinner is then served from 6:30pm with the menu based on our adult dishes with some flexibility for the children's preferences. There is a supplement of £39 per child for Family Dining.

Dinner on staff days off for all guests

On the staff night off you and your family have the opportunity to eat out in one of the local restaurants. Our staff will be happy to help with recommendations and bookings if you wish. If you would prefer, you can always order in a takeaway pizza, and have a relaxing evening in.

Children’s High Tea

High Tea provides children under 11 with a healthy menu, but tailored more towards children’s tastes than our main adult dinner, and puréed food is also always available for infants on request. Parents are asked to accompany their children under 36 months at High Tea please, whilst children from 3-10 years will be supervised by staff.

Special Diets

Vegetarian options are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance. 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.

Christmas & New Year Celebrations

All our chalets offer traditional fare for Christmas dinner, with roast turkey and all the trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, crackers, party hats and of course a pre-dinner glass of Champagne plus a lively, fun atmosphere for all the family.

This is the one meal that all families share together regardless of children’s ages, so in some properties the dining tables can be quite crowded, but this adds to the festive ambience of all celebrating together!

A special festive menu followed by Champagne is also served on New Year’s Eve, but this is for adults only (and those aged 11 and over of course).

We update Chalet Schatzi'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.

"Brilliant for families"

Suzanna Burroughs, Bromley
4/ out of 5
We rebooked this chalet for next year, that’s how much we liked it! It’s brilliant for beginners and children. The nursery slopes are right in front of the chalet, I could watch the children from our balcony! Our children were so happy with it, they kept asking us if we could come back, and they wanted to see the Esprit staff again – they liked them so much. The childcare gave us more freedom to ski, and the ski hosting over to Italy was great. We skied over to La Thuile nearly every day. We did look at other chalets for next year but Chalet Schatzi ticked so many boxes. The rooms are quite spacious, the room we had this time was bigger than we anticipated (unfortunately we couldn’t book the same room due this year due to availability). The décor is quite unique and personal, someone has made a load of montages which are displayed around the chalet. The artwork is interesting. The food wasn’t amazing, it varied in quality, but the potions were generous. The main courses were almost too big for me and there was a lot of meat. I have no complaints about this chalet at all, I have sold it to all my friends! The reason I haven’t given it a 5/5 is because it doesn’t have quite the same facilities as some of the top end chalets, such as spa facilities and swimming pools. But there is really nothing wrong with the chalet at all. There is a good bar right opposite the chalet, and you can sit outside there and watch your children on the nursery slopes as well.

"Perfect for families"

We all had a lovely week. The chalet’s perfect for families and the facilities are very good for children. The staff were great with the children and we all enjoyed the food they served which was a mix of meals - some nights we wanted the children’s meals as they looked so nice! The layout of the rooms worked really well for families and being able to ski in and out was perfect. We have no complaints at all, although as a suggestion it would have been nice if the adults could have some wine while the children sat down for their high tea (in the end we popped down to the shops for a couple of bottles as they couldn’t sell us any in the chalet).
