It’s also worth thinking about what you personally are looking for when searching for a luxury ski holiday, because you can often get very different kinds of luxury depending on the type of accommodation and the holiday supplier. For the mass market ski travel companies owned by the giant tour operators, then five star or the more subjective “luxury” is often created via more or better extras and facilities like indoor and outdoor swimming pools or sauna and “wellness” areas or spas. With the smaller and more boutique style luxury ski companies, the luxury aspect of the ski holiday is often related more to the ambience of the accommodation, the style of service and/or the quality of the food and wines being provided. This difference in approach to what constitutes a luxury ski holiday is also often reflected in the guests you will find yourself mingling with in the luxury ski accommodation. If you’re someone who cares about whether their fellow travellers are likely to be U or non U, then it’s worth gently letting your ski travel agent know that you’d like to look at options which will offer the experience of refined and elegant, rather than impressive or flash luxury ski holidays. If five star luxury ski chalet holidays for you mean big new facilities, with all the trimmings of a gym and indoor and outdoor pool plus choice of four restaurants etc, you can make that clear too and you’ll often find that these types if luxury ski holidays are slightly lower priced than the aforementioned. Indeed, the modest price differential is often the financial instrument use to separate the two different types of luxury ski holiday buyer and so ensure both end up with the kind of holiday they’re seeking.
