Bois Colombes n5

Bois Colombes n5 is a self-catered chalet in Châtel, sleeping 11 in 5 bedrooms. The nearest lift, L'Oy Ski Lift, is about 230m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a hot tub. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and earns its place. Beds: 4 doubles and 1 bunk, with 3 bathrooms.

Châtel scores 27 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1200m. That makes it more dependent on the weather in late December, which is worth weighing before you book.

Sleeping 11, it suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. Pets are not allowed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.
