If you've been reading our previous blog posts, you will know that Swiss resorts are open and welcoming skiers. With breath taking mountain scenery, traditional chocolate box villages and superb slopes, Switzerland is home to some of the best skiing in Europe. We've already explained why the Swiss Alps make a great place to ski this season but on this blog post we've rounded up our top picks for self-catered chalets in Switzerland too.
Staying in self-catered chalets are always popular, but they'll be in even more demand this year in order to travel safely whilst remaining in your bubbles. If you enjoy going out to eat and like trying different restaurants and bars each night, self-catering ski chalets are a great alternative to catered accommodation. They are also perfect for those looking to cook from home a few nights a week instead. If, however, you want to remove the hassle of preparing your own meals from scratch, try HuSki a new self-catering food delivery service exclusively for Oxford Ski Company customers.
