Skiers are Britain's most discerning travellers

Skiers are among the most UK’s discerning travellers and skiing is one holiday where the British really like to push the boat out, according to top ski holiday company, Ski Verbier, who offer some of the world’s top ski chalets, staffed by qualified chefs and chalet hostesses, with on-call chauffeur service.

And nothing is too much for the discerning skier, Molton Brown toiletries, crisp linen and deep pile dressing gowns, champagne breakfasts in bed, freshly baked afternoon tea five course dinner menus are all standard with a Ski Verbier holiday.

General Manager Laura Newton said “Although our chalets range from around £4000 to upwards of £12000 per week, many of the finest properties are pre-booked season after season. Although cost is not usually the prime concern, in fact a catered chalet for a large party, with its own chef, hostess and driver, can actually work out extremely `good value’ on a per head basis, particularly considering the exceptional standards of luxury and service”.

While a good chalet is scarcer than gold dust for the peak season dates, Ski Verbier has limited availability in some of its most exceptional properties for occasional weeks during January and March 2007, examples as follows:-
