Our Top Tips and Tricks
Snow season is officially upon us and if you’ve been feeling like a snow getaway is just what the doctor ordered, you definitely aren’t alone! Planning the perfect ski trip requires a lot of careful consideration and it’s more than just making sure you have the right gear.
One of the key elements that people often overlook in the planning process is the accommodation you choose! The accommodation you go for can really make or break your trip. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or it’s your very first trip to the snow, these are the things you need to keep in mind when choosing your accommodation.
Location, Location, Location
When it comes to ski accommodation, location really is everything! You want to make sure you’re close to the slopes so that you can spend less time travelling and more time skiing!
Look for accommodation that has over-snow transport or easy access to nearby ski lifts to reduce travel time to and from the slopes. Try to also stay close to ski rental shops, restaurants and bars to help add an extra level of convenience to your trip.
Check the Amenities
After a big day out on the slopes, you want to be able to come back to your accommodation and utilise their amenities. Whether you’re looking for spas and saunas to help muscle recovery or you’re looking for bars and restaurants to relax with friends and family, the amenities can really make all the difference.
Check if the accommodation you choose has facilities like ski storage, boot dryers and rental services nearby to make your trip more comfortable.
Look at the Layout
Whether you’re travelling solo or with a group, the size and layout of the accommodation you choose can really impact your stay. If you’re in a larger group, try to find a larger accommodation that can accommodate all of your guests allowing you to relax and socialise after a day out on the slopes.
Check Reviews
Before you make a reservation at your chosen accommodation, you want to check out what other guests have said about the space. Read reviews from previous guests to get valuable insights into the quality of the service, cleanliness and overall experience.
Pay particular attention to any comments regarding proximity to ski facilities, staff friendliness and any unexpected surprises guests may have encountered during their trip.
Know Your Budget
Whilst it can be tempting to really splurge on your accommodation especially if it’s your first ski trip, you don’t want to blow your whole budget on a place to sleep.
Compare prices across accommodations and weigh up amenities, location and seasonal rates to get the best accommodation at a price that also fits your budget.
