The team in Val Disere this year absolutely smashed it! Between millie the most outstanding chalet host we have ever had and fergus the friendliest most helpful manager. The quality of meals, the chalet, the banter, they really could not of done any more to make our holiday any better! 10/10 from everyone on our trip! The smoothest holiday to date from start to finish. If you havent been on a Ski Beat holiday yet... you really should!

"Millie was our chalet host in cristal chalet 1 and she was by far the best chalet host we have ever had in our time of booking chalets. The food was absolutely second to none and ski beat should get her to teach all the other chalet hosts how to make tartiflette like she does, 100% the best tartiflette we've ever had on a chalet holiday. She was up for the banter at all points of the holiday, as well as giving expert advice on apres ski locations. What an Absolute legend, Dobbie the Chalet elf, enjoy the rest of your season!!"
