Skiing enthusiasts flock to the Alps and further afield every winter to enjoy the thrill of rushing down the slopes at breakneck speeds. But it is not just the skiing that attracts them: more people are now going on skiing holidays that offer a luxury element where they can get to enjoy the thrill of skiing whilst living the high life. Luxury all-inclusive skiing holidays in France are becoming increasingly popular, and here is a quick guide to why many people feel that this is the only way to go skiing.

Great Value Option

Many people dismiss all-inclusive luxury skiing holidays because they assume that such a holiday will be too expensive. But often the opposite is true. When you consider that flights, transfers, accommodation, food and even extras such as ski hire and lessons are often included, the savings can quickly add up.

Just think about how much money you would normally spend on eating out during your holiday. With an all-inclusive deal, you will get all of your food included in the price, and top-quality food at that, saving you a small fortune in restaurant bills.

Stress-Free Holiday

When you go skiing, the only thing you want to think about is having a good time. That means not stressing about flights, transfers, organising your meals or anything else. If you stay in an all-inclusive chalet or a luxury resort, you will be able to completely relax in the knowledge that everything has already been taken care of, allowing you to focus on the only thing that matters.

Excellent Facilities

All-inclusive luxury ski holidays vary in how much is actually included. However, on some of the best holidays you can expect to enjoy:

• Comfortable lounges
• En suite bathrooms
• A spa
• A steam room
• Books and DVDs
• Wi-Fi
• Clubs for the children
• Ski lessons
• Ski passes
• An open bar

In addition to all the above, you also have to remember that free meals are included. At some of the best chalets, you really get to dine in style with a full breakfast to provide you with all the energy you need for the day ahead, a filling sandwich to keep you going and maybe even a five-course meal complete with champagne when you get back.

Better for Budgeting

One of the advantages of this option is that you also know exactly how much you are spending on your holiday before you go away. This makes budgeting a breeze because you will not have to worry about costs adding up, and if you pay for your holiday in advance you won’t have to concern yourself with exchange rate fluctuations, which can be very volatile.

How to Choose Your Chalet

When searching for an all-inclusive luxury ski chalet, make sure you start by choosing a top ski area. For example, many of the most popular all-inclusive deals are found in the resorts of the Three Valleys, which is one of the best ski areas on earth. Once you’ve decided on a location, such as Val d’Isère, Peisey-Vallandry or Méribel, simply look for the most comfortable and luxurious accommodation you can find and you’ll soon be looking forward to the luxury holiday of a lifetime.
