Lorraine takes immense pride in decorating the Chalet before Christmas ready for all arrivals from 3rd December onwards and when it comes to the festive period, she pays particular attention to the food and we both make a special fuss of you and your friends and family during these weeks away from your home to make this your home.
Traditional dinners are served with extras for breakfast and dinner, plus something special for everyone to mark the occasion.
Christmas and New Year in a ski resort, relaxing next to the log fire with snow all around you and the backdrop of the mountains is something to be cherished and remembered. We are here to make the memory last.
Do I need to organise my own winter insurance?
Yes. You will need to purchase personal travel/holiday insurance before you depart the UK and ensure that you will be covered for winter sports for the duration of your trip. We also recommend that you bring your EHIC European Health Insurance Card with you.
Is it possible to book a short stay in the chalets?
Yes, subject to availability it is possible to book a short ski trip in the chalet. We have many ski clubs, team building and special groups that visit during the season and sometimes have 3 or 4 night stays available. If no availability is showing for such durations and only 7 nights shown, then please contact us to see what we can do for you!
Can I also book individual rooms in a chalet?
The chalet is suitable for couples, small and large groups booking one or more rooms and you share the chalet, the living room area, breakfast and dinner table (one large table for 13), ski shuttle etc with other guests during the week.
I have a ski group and they want to pay separately, is this possible?
Yes we can send separate invoices and have the payments made as such. In such cases the reservations will be individually confirmed and any special offers or free places given will be subject to all the group members adhering to the terms and conditions and numbers paying being as booked. In such cases we charge € 15 reservation fee per invoice. It is also possible that everyone pays separately when they mention the reservation number as a reference with their payment.
Do you have any free place for group bookings?
There are up to 4 free places when the chalet is booked as a whole for exclusive use.
In this instance you pay for 12 people and upto 16 can stay, see our room breakdown in our facilities page
Please note when more than 12 people stay in the chalet space in public areas is limited and also the chalet hot water system is designed for 12 people so understanding and patience might be needed
What about a discount for a 3rd person sharing a room?
Any adult or child sharing a twin/double room with 2 other full paying guests in the same room, as a 3rd person in that room they will receive a 50% discount on per person per week price. Accommodating a 3rd person in the same room will limit
Are there any free places for infants?
Prices are per person per week based on two people in a double/twin room with en suite shower/toilet.
In any instances of free places for infants (by special arrangement for whole chalet bookings) there is no cot, high chair or catering provided.
How does the exclusive use of chalet/whole chalet booking work?
When you book the whole chalet for sole occupancy there will be no other guests in the chalet or in the empty rooms. For sole occupancy you always have to pay for just 12 guests but can have up to 16 guests staying for the same price (e.g. pay for 12 up to 16 stay i.e. 4 free places)
The chalet can only be booked exclusively when 12 full paying people are paid for irrespective of the amount that arrives.
Please note when more than 12 people stay in the chalet space in public areas is limited and also the chalet hot water system is designed for 12 people so understanding and patience might be needed
Can we book a single occupancy room and how is this charged?
Yes you can, we charge per room price with all rooms charged on 2 person occupancy upwards.
Therefore the empty bed will be discounted by 50% off the applicable per person per week price as applicable to that week.
For example: Published price per person € 585. Single occupancy charged at 2 x € 585 = 1170 less € 292.50 (50% x € 585) = € 877.50 payable
Ask for further details as there may be some offers outside of the main and high season periods.
I don’t travel lightly and bring loads of luggage!
The cosy bedrooms have limited hanging space so you might not be able to hang up all your clothes but can leave them folded in the drawers
How close is the local free ski bus stop and where does it go?
Under 50m from the front door and connecting to all areas plus we operate optional trips to Verbier Switzerland and Courmayeur Italy dependant upon sufficient demand to operate the trips.

What insurance do i need for my holiday in Chalet Loris?
http://www.axa.co.uk/travelinsurance/wintersports.html
Do I need any additional insurance policy that I have heard some skiers take out?
When we discuss your lift pass requirements we will advise you to take out Carre Neige insurance.
This is taken out in conjunction with your lift pass and is a ski insurance that is recognised immediately by the mountain rescue team whether you be on piste, in a lesson, or off-piste. This is adequate for most situations, although if you are intending to go back country it is worth informing your insurance company to ensure you get full medical treatment, helicopter service and recovery of equipment you would expect in an emergency.

CHILDREN
Is the chalet suitable for children?
Only for exclusive whole chalet bookings when children are always welcome
For other weeks with mixed couples or groups, we are mindful of the overall holiday experience for all other guests and we welcome children over 13 years old who you would comfortably allow to be amongst other adults conversations. This is by prior agreement as we do not want parents, children or other guest’s levels of conversation to have to be adjusted to suit a younger audience.
Please contact us with any questions.
What facilities are there for babies?
This chalet holiday is suitable for adults and children over 13 year olds unless booked for exclusive use
Cots and high chairs available by arrangement

Children’s High Tea is provided at 5.30pm as the main evening meal, and is tailored more towards children’s normal tastes than our adult-only dinner menu, and includes plentiful soft drinks. Children under 13 are not permitted to join the adult dinner unless you have booked this chalet for your exclusive use, when the choice of dining separately or together is entirely up to you - please let us know at the time of booking.

It is difficult, if, during the week we have to ask some guests to respect others and be mindful of their actions in front of others, please do not be offended whilst we seek to make sure and respect everyone is here for the best holiday possible.
We ask large groups mixed with 1 or 2 other couples to respect each other as well but strongly recommend that a larger group books the whole chalet for exclusive use
We will advise you when booking who else is booked for the same week as we seek to match to create a convivial atmosphere

CHALET OPERATIONS
Is there WIFI Internet access in the chalet?
Yes, the signal is strongest in the lounge area and it is important to note that on occasion this service may be disrupted for reasons outside of our control often due to problems inherent with ski chalets in the Alps where, up until very recently there has been no internet access or appropriate infrastructure.
Please bring your own devices as there is no chalet PC for general usage
Check in check out times
General times are check-out 10am and check-in 4pm at the latest to allow us time to fully prepare and thoroughly clean the chalet.

Can we make our own packed lunches at breakfast?
Packed lunches are not included within the catered chalet package but you can pre-book these in advance before you arrive or on arrival.
Lunch on the mountains costs from € 8 often just for a dry sandwich
You can however pre-order our legendary packed lunch of homemade baguette, bottle water, fruit, cake available for just € 6 per day. Make sure you bring a rucksack to take this with you. We will recommend the best places to enjoy your packed lunch on the slopes during the week and often we stop as a group and have it as a piste picnic.
What if I do not like items on the menu?
We offer a balanced and varied set menu, if you choose to miss out on certain courses or would prefer not to be served certain items please let us know. We appreciate everyone has dietary preferences which is why we serve and offer; a balanced, nutritious and varied menu.
Whilst we know that we cannot please all the people all the time, we have always had great food reviews from our previous guests, please see our guestbook and independent Trip Advisor reviews to see how others appreciated and reviewed our catering.
If you have food intolerances or allergies, we can discuss these before you arrive as often items are not available in the mountains and a supplement might need to be paid if you do not want to bring special items with you.
If you have booked the chalet for exclusive use we can go through the menu in advance to highlight any strong dislikes and endeavour to adapt the menu accordingly where possible.
Dietary Requirements
I am vegetarian/vegan/wheat free/dairy free/allergic to coriander/peppers/eggs. Can you cater for me?
Most special dietary requirements can be catered for, but for certain requests (for e.g. vegan, gluten free diets, and low fat/cholesterol meals) there will be an additional charge. Vegetarian meals can always be served, at no extra charge, although we do need 14 days notice. You must notify us in writing at the time of booking of any dietary requirements so that the catering can be planned accordingly.
Equally we are happy to cater for all kinds of diets; vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc. just let us know in advance so we can discuss this so we can plan a lovely menu for you to avoid disappointment.
It can be very difficult to adapt our menu on the spot if we have not had any prior warning of any allergies, intolerances or special diets
I have a severe nut allergy?
Please contact us
What time is dinner?
Dinner is served at 19.30pm 6 nights per week unless otherwise agreed
Can we decide as a group our own time for diner?
The chalet staff will propose a diner time. But we are always open for small adjustments
Do you offer complimentary pre-dinner drinks?
Yes we offer a different pre-dinner aperitif each night before dinner to set the scene for the dinner that evening.
I want to bring my own alcohol, is there a fridge I can use?
You can store items in the natural outdoor alpine fridge as chalet fridges are kept separate for hygiene reasons and therefore cannot be used by guests.
How is how additional alcohol that we purchase ourselves handled?
Often for special times or year or certain groups they may drink a fair amount of champagne and after dinner drinks. You are very welcome to bring your own drinks.
Do you have a day-off during the week?
Yes, we have a day off in the middle of the week. A traditional continental breakfast will be served on this day but there are no hot breakfast options or dinner in the chalet.
Only chalet staff is allowed access to the kitchen during service and additionally it is not possible to cook in the chalet by yourself, but we will with pleasure assist you with local restaurant reservations.
Because we are the only catered chalet in the area reservations are easier to make.
How does the ‘honesty bar' operate?
The honesty bar is a fridge and little cupboard with drinks for self service use with guest honestly leaving approx € 2 per item. It includes beer, wine and soft drinks and any other requirements can be discussed before you arrive so we can make sure we have your favourite tipple on hand at an agreed price.
Each day we take care and stock and control the contents and ask you to note your honesty for payment each day. This service means you do not have to pay bar prices of € 6 for beer or shop in supermarkets by yourself.
Do you, Lorraine and Chris our Chalet Hosts eat dinner with us?
Not usually, whilst we would like to join you for dinner each evening, we are here to make dinner the best experience and service possible for our guests.
Can we have lunch in the chalet and use the kitchen?
It is not possible to use the kitchen for insurance, hygiene, control, health and safety reasons and is accessible only by chalet staff all times
Packed lunches are freshly prepared each day and available when booked at the latest the night before, otherwise there are no cooking facilities for guests in the chalet
SICK OF THE RAT RACE?
WANT TO RUN YOUR OWN CHALET?
How can we run our own Ski Chalet or Casa Loris?
Ask us for details as we have some limited licenses available to allocate for next year
The demand and thus competition to be awarded one is tough.
The licences are available to purchase upon approval and passing our residential induction and training course focusing the Loris Standard expectations, guest service and experience, catering, menu preparation and presentation, guest care, hygiene, health and safety.
Where we do not allocate a suitable property to you, we would also view your proposed property because they need to meet certain strict criteria such as
• be in a major ski area
• have an excellent snow sure record
• be of a very high quality internal finish
• ample room and facilities for optimum guest comfort and experience
• have added guest Ski Concierge services and benefits available
• have something unique and special not otherwise available elsewhere
As well as these and other considerations you would then be expected to attend and pass our course
