Total Service
We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before
the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own
holiday with us.
We also take our Health & Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our
chalet and Chalet Hotel staff at the pre-season training course are trained to achieve
the Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene issued by the Chartered Institute of
Environmental Health.
For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.
Breakfast
At Ski Total, we pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day,
with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea
and good filter coffee, local bread (plus croissants or ‘pains au chocolat’ in France),
cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style
for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day
for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit,
individually served.
On the hosts’ day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you,
which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance
to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy
to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast is served
every day.
Afternoon Tea
The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you
in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s
one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to
a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until
dinner is ready.
Children’s High Tea
In chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, children under 13 years are provided
with high tea at 5.30pm, and do not join the main adult-only dinner.
Dinner in Chalets
A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights
per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and qualified chef in our larger
chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners
start with canapés and an aperitif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert,
and followed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening.
Wine is unlimited during the meal service and freshly chilled water is also of course
always available.
Chalet Bars
Most chalets have a low-priced bar/fridge, selling cold beers and mixers, with plenty
of ice and lemon on hand if you have brought your own gin!
Vegetarian & Special Diets
Vegetarian options are always available if you advise us in advance, and other special
diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £25 per person per week. Please
confirm your requirements to us in writing at the time of booking.
Culinary Choice Dinners in Chalet Hotels
A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for
our guests. With the greater facilities of a hotel, our chefs are able to offer
choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options,
and always including a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to
choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection.
Our adult-only Chalet Hotel dinners offer 5 courses, starting with canapés and an
aperitif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and a cheeseboard to
round off your meal in style. All this is then followed by coffee with chocolates
to complete your evening’s repast!
Wine is unlimited during the meal service and freshly chilled water is also of course
always available.
