Chalet Golden Jubilée by Les Etincelles

Chalet Golden Jubilée by Les Etincelles is a self-catered chalet in Val Thorens, sleeping 12 in 6 bedrooms. It is ski-to-door, so skis go on outside and the day ends without a walk in boots — with a group at Christmas, that matters more than almost anything else on a listing. It has a sauna and a swimming pool. Small things, but they are what a group remembers. Beds: 5 large doubles and 2 singles, with 6 bathrooms.

Val Thorens scores 84 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 2300m. That is among the more dependable places to be skiing in Christmas week.

Sleeping 12, it suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. It lists family facilities such as a high chair or family rooms, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. Pets are allowed, so the dog can come for Christmas too. 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. A chalet this size usually only goes as a whole, so it is a better fit for a group that has already formed. 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.
