Throughout your stay, our chefs focus on ensuring that you have a fabulous dining experience on 5 evenings. They will produce high-quality, delicious meals for you to enjoy after an energetic day on the slopes and will go out of their way to make each meal memorable.
Breakfast
The day starts with freshly brewed coffee, tea, fruit juice, yoghurt, porridge, cereals, fresh baguettes, jams, honey and soft cheeses (Vache Qui Rit or Baby Bel). Cold meats are available on request. A choice of eggs is offered each morning in our Classic chalets and a full cooked breakfast is served on one morning. In our Premier chalets a full-cooked breakfast and fresh fruit salad are available each morning.
Afternoon tea
When you return from the slopes in the afternoon a homemade cake, traybake or biscuits awaits, along with fresh baguettes, jams and conserves and a selection of soft cheeses. Hot chocolate is available to help yourself to every day when you come back from skiing.
Pre-dinner drinks
These are served from 7.30pm onwards. Enjoy pre-dinner bubbly served with savoury snacks (with mouth-watering canapés additionally being offered on 2 evenings). Canapés are served every evening along with savoury snacks in our premier chalets.
Dinner
This is served at 8pm each evening and is 3 courses with unlimited red and white wine being offered in our Classic chalets. Freshly brewed filter coffee or tea is offered with after-dinner chocolates. After dinner on one evening, you can enjoy a speciality cheeseboard served with port. We offer a little extra in our Premier chalets where dinner is 4 courses each evening (4th course being a cheeseboard served with port). Additionally rosé wines are also served in our Premier chalets.
Kids’ tea
Our staff are happy to offer a hearty and nourishing “Kids Tea” at around 6pm each evening (apart from staff days off), under the supervision of at least one adult in the party. We have a template kids tea menu that is served in our chalets and this should be pre-booked via our UK office.
Special dietary requirements
We do understand a holiday can sometimes be stressful particularly if you or one of your family has food allergies or special medical dietary requirements. Our mission is simple; to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. Whilst our menu is planned, it is not set in stone; we will always do our best to accommodate preferences and requests. Unfortunately, most ski resorts simply do not offer the huge selection of Gluten, Lactose or Dairy Free products available in UK supermarkets. That said, if you have any dietary requests, food intolerances or food allergies we will do our upmost to plan the menu to suit your needs. In order to plan the menu and source relevant ingredients it is important that you advise us at the time of booking or at least 3 weeks before you depart for your holiday. We do not, however, cater for those who just fancy something different, don’t like something or change their mind mid week.
If there are a variety of special dietary requests in your chalet then your chef will adapt the menu to one starter and one main course option that suits all special dietaries if possible (we are unable to offer 3 or 4 separate dietary options - we are not a hotel!) plus the standard menu offering. Desserts, for those following Dairy / Lactose / Gluten Free and Vegan diets, will be fresh fruit salad and berry based. For those with dietary requirements as above we will provide one cake on arrival (to be served in the week as long as it’s fresh) followed thereafter by a suitable option (eg gluten / wheat free biscuits or buns which may be pre-bought).
We do not currently charge an expensive supplement to cater for a variety of dietary requests.
Soy, almond, oat and dairy free alternative milk can be requested.
We provide gluten free flour but other speciality flour types are not available and neither are specific organic items or any manufactured ‘Free from’ items (including sugar free & vegan suitable).
We advise you to pack a selection of your favourite treats or products. Please note; the list of unavailable items is not exhaustive - you may know and use something we have not heard of yet.
Please let us know at the time of booking any dietary requirements so we can ensure that your chef is aware of this and can provide accordingly. If in doubt call please call +44 1635 278847.
Savoyard evening
A speciality Savoyard night is provided on the evening of the chalet team’s first day off. This is a “do-it-yourself” evening on the Monday night when our staff have the first of their 2 days off. This is a complimentary offering. There will be a raclette machine available in your chalet and in your fridge you will find a mixed meat selection and cheese platter to cook on the raclette, along with fresh salad, potatoes, and french bread to help yourself too. After a hard days skiing, you can relax in the comfort of your own chalet with this evening extravaganza. You are welcome to help yourself to the chalet wines. Specific dietary requirements are not catered for this evening. This meal should be reserved via Tracey in our UK office if you would like to include this as part of your holiday.
What our guests say about us
Just wanted to say what a wonderful holiday we had recently. Chalet Sapin Bleu was a fabulous chalet (real luxury) and my friends and I are keen to return next season. I think what made it so good was all the friendly help from the very start, to getting there and getting skis etc sorted out. The chalet staff were great and the quality of the food was just amazing.
We had a great week with skivo – my eighth, but the first for my wife and her two friends, and also for the lovely group of people with whom we shared Chalet Roger. The entire skivo team looked after use fantastically well; nothing was too much trouble and Bogie’s cooking was superb. The lessons were really good and we had amazing weather and snow
Just wanted to email and thank you again for hosting us for such a wonderful week. Our whole party had the best time ever and we are all really struggling being back at work – especially as it is snowing heavily here! It is by far the best week of the year and we are very grateful to you and the whole skivo team for making it so memorable.
