What could be better than waking up in a ski resort, surrounded by snowy mountains, popping your ski pass into your pocket, clipping on your skis and stepping out of your accommodation straight onto the slopes?

Forget those early morning alarms and long treks to the shuttle bus stop.

With a ski-in-ski-out hotel, chalet or apartment, you can walk out your front door and straight onto the slopes. No more walking for miles in your ski boots, no more carrying your heavy ski equipment, no more car journeys or parking nightmares, no cramped shuttle bus rides… simply start skiing right from your accommodation’s doorstep. If this sounds like heaven to you, look no further than our range of ski-in ski-out accommodation options.

We have many ski-in, ski-out self-catered chalets, apartments, tourist residences and hotels which allow you to get to the slopes in a matter of minutes. Choose one within your budget that meets your requirements and get to the slopes on foot – location is everything!

The main appeal of ski-in/ski-out accommodation is that the ski slopes are literally on your doorstep.

What is ski-in-ski-out?

Our ski-in, ski-out accommodation options are in the heart of their respective ski resorts, with direct access to the slopes. Whether that means they are right next to the ski lifts, at the foot of the slopes or even situated on the slopes themselves, you will be able to get to the pistes within minutes, with no need to take a shuttle bus transfer, walk long distances or waste any time getting slopeside. When snow conditions are good, you can often even ski right out of the front door!
