When you pick your resort - you should take your group's skiing experience into consideration. You can take a look at the list bellow to find the best holiday accommodation.
Owner-run chalets tend to differ from managed chalets in that the chalet hosts will most probably care more for the chalet as it is their home and business. They may also care that you enjoy yourself on your holiday - as repeat clientele are very desirable - much more than some ski-bum just-out from college fancying one more year of the easy life before having to join the "real world".
The days of spag bol are long gone - these days, catered chalets can rival restaurants in terms of quality and diversity of food. If the chalet offers a "professional chef", ask about their experience and qualifications.
