Ski Accommodation - A Number Of Aspects To Consider Before Making A Selection

The type of place you stay in will make a huge contribution to how much you enjoy you ski vacation

. You should therefore set aside an hour or two beforehand to carefully think about where you are going to spend your holiday and what type of ski accommodation you prefer.

Before even making a reservation, you should carefully consider the options the different ski resorts provide. Study the facilities at the various resorts and make sure that the resort you are going to has other entertainment options apart from skiing. During any ski vacation there will be more than one day when the weather is simply not conducive to skiing and during those days you would appreciate something to keep you occupied apart from playing blackjack on your laptop.

As far as this goes there are two very different types of ski resorts. The first type will mostly have a picturesque little town nearby where there are many interesting shops and a good number of restaurants and coffees shop and pubs. During non-skiing days and at night you can therefore browse through the shops and make friends with other skiers in the coffee shops and pubs.

Then you get the type of resort that sometimes offers stunning scenery but is far away from any form of civilization. There will be a few hotels and other types of accommodation and not much else. Unless you go there to ski day and night, this type of place can get boring very quickly. It's great to go to a place like this for two or three days, but an extended stay might soon have you climbing up the walls out of boredom.

The better developed resorts normally have a huge variety of accommodation establishment. There are usually more than enough five star hotels to satisfy the influx of the well-heeled who want only the best. Often these hotels have their own shopping centers with boutique stores and a couple of world class restaurants. There will normally also be facilities like saunas and gyms to make sure you stay busy during days that you can't ski.

The bulk of skiers are usually absorbed by the mid-range hotels. These normally provide decent accommodation to fit the pocket of the average man in the street. As a minimum requirement you should sure such a hotel offers private bathrooms, English TV and facilities like hair dryers. A feature that is great to have is a balcony. Especially if you plan to stay for two or three weeks, your hotel room can easily become quite claustrophobic.

You will find self-catering accommodation in or near virtually all the better ski resorts. For the family man these are the perfect solution. They offer a true home from home experience, with kitchens, TV lounges and often even hot tubs. Many of the more upmarket resorts have heated indoor pools and gyms where you can while away non-skiing hours.

As far as ski accommodation is concerned, one should of course never forget the trusted old guest house. This is the most personal of all the options and many friendships have been formed around the breakfast table at one of these establishments. Their prices are more often than not very reasonable and the more upmarket ones provide facilities comparable to the best of hotels.
