Of course, accommodation is a key part of any holiday. And when it comes to holidaying in the mountains, you can choose between a hotel or a chalet. Here are the advantages and disadvantages to each of these different kinds of accommodation.

Right now, to rent a chalet is a good option for a holiday in the mountains. In fact, renting a chalet is very affordable when compared to other holiday rentals. Whether you are family, or a group of friends, you can enjoy maximum comfort and complete independence, while being immersed in an authentic atmosphere during your stay in the chalet. The owners will do their utmost to offer you the best service to make your holidays as restful and relaxing as possible.

In Verbier, for example, you can rent a chalet, modern, with a cozy decor, equipped with a kitchen, jacuzzi, sauna… You will also have a comfortable lounge and balcony from which you can admire the beautiful scenery. Some chalets even come with a garden with play areas for the kids to play in. Indeed, the chalet has everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. You can stay for as long as you wish and have as many people stay as you like, as many of the chalets have a large number of rooms.

To rent a chalets  have some inconveniences. You will usually need to take care of everything as if you were at home. In a chalet, there is no daily change of towels or linens, etc. You cannot get a cleaning service unless you pay an additional fee. You will need to make enquiries in advance about the activities and attractions since the chalets have no concierge. You will also need to have means of transport; especially if you opt for a chalet.

However, many agencies such as Besson Immobilier, offer mainly top quality chalets, a complimentary concierge service for all your needs and are on hand to advise you, to ensure your chalet rental runs smoothly.

Another practical solution for your holiday in the mountains is to book a hotel room in Verbier . You will not have to worry about cleaning, daily chores or doing the shopping. No need to refill the fridge on arrival. Everything is ready, for your convenience. All you need to do is concentrate on enjoying a good rest while laying your worries to rest in the mountains. You can sample the local cuisine in the hotel’s restaurant. Something to remember that might come in handy, is that the hotel takes good care of children. The hotel Chalet d’Adrien Verbier has its own ski instructors ready to organize your children’s activities for the day.

One drawback is cost. It is often an expensive choice, especially if you are staying as a family. Moreover, if there are many people, you will need to book several rooms. Other drawbacks include a lack of complete freedom. The pool and the hot tub are shared with other hotel guests. You cannot sleep in the morning, because of the daily cleaning service. In short, these disadvantages often mean that a hotel lends itself best to a short term stay or long weekend away.

Basically, whether you stay in hotels or rent a chalet depends on your needs, your expectations and your budget. One thing is certain though, you will enjoy complete independence in an authentic chalet and experience a holiday that is close to perfection.
