Chalet Studen

Chalet Studen is a self-catered chalet in Grindelwald, sleeping 10 in 5 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. Small things, but they are what a group remembers. Beds: 3 extra-large doubles and 4 singles, with 4 bathrooms.

Grindelwald scores 47 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1034m. That makes it more weather-dependent than most in late December, which is worth weighing before you book.

Sleeping 10, 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. 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.
