You will find that all the chalets in Val Thorens, unlike Meribel, are more or less ski in ski out. Val Thorens is a giant snow bowl and the chalets all sit in the centre of it. By choosing a catered chalet , you save the hassle of going out for dinner, making your own
breakfast. Afternoons in the chalet are very friendly affairs with tea, cakes, and of course a few beers usually. Most chalet staff have a bar tab system. Just take a beer and write your name on the tab.
Before doing whole seasons a catered chalet holiday was always our first choice, although a lot depends on your luck. ie your the fellow guests .
