Chalet Les Bardeaux

Chalet Les Bardeaux is a self-catered chalet in Crans-Montana, sleeping 12 in 6 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Violettes Express, is about 410m away, so plan on a bus or a drive to the snow each morning. Beds: 1 bunk and 10 singles, with 3 bathrooms.

Crans-Montana scores 49 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1500m. That makes it more weather-dependent than most in late December, which is worth weighing before you book.

Sleeping 12, 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.

It is not ski-to-door, so factor in getting to the lifts each morning. 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. 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.
