Skiing is one of the most exciting, exhilarating and, let’s face it, one of the most glamorous sports. The experience of whizzing over white snow, through pine forests and past stunning mountain scenery is difficult to beat. What’s not to like about it? Well, there are certain people who love the snow and the fresh air that ski holidays have to offer, as well as the beautiful scenery †but they’re not too keen on the actually business of skiing itself. Luckily for them, there are plenty of other things to do on a ski trip. Chalet holidays offer a wealth of activities and pastimes for those are not keen in skiing. Most chalets are very well appointed these days so relaxing with a good book on a comfortable settee or armchair and gazing out at the snowy peaks is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Then there’s the food. Ski holidays are often in resorts where the cuisine is excellent. This might be croissants and freshly baked bread plus fruit and yogurt for breakfast, followed by a cappuccino on a mountain top midmorning and then a delicious lunch, either in a restaurant or in the chalet. Most chalets even provide afternoon tea to keep you going until dinnertime. Even if you’re not out there on the slopes, the mountain air is sure to give you an appetite and refresh jaded taste buds. But there’s no need to fear putting on the pounds †most chalet holidays offer a variety of activities from swimming to gyms and walking. Shopping is often extremely good with a variety of individual shops nearby. The evenings offer a wealth of bars, pubs and restaurants †or you could eat in your own chalet and listen to the exploits of your family and friends who have been on their skis that day while you’ve been indulging yourself with less strenuous activities
