10 Best Chalets in The world

With the winter season ahead it is time to plan a ski holiday or a festive stroll through the European Christmas markets…sipping hot chocolate or mulled wine, next to the fireplace in your private Alpine rustic chalet, or sampling hot chestnuts, grilled sausages and gingerbread biscuits…Get into the jolly winter with the Best 10 chalets in the world!

#10. Finland

Looking for the best ski resorts in Finland?No need to travel above the Arctic Circle into Lapland. Kuikankulta  is a new, cosy block in the centre of Vuokatti and only 500 m away from the ski trail. Although Finnish resorts are at low altitudes compared with those of the Alps, snow is always guaranteed and conditions are nearly always perfect. Skiing is ideal for beginners and intermediates, although advanced skiers will be challenged by the off-piste opportunities.

#9. Andorra

Andorra provides a ski experience that is unique in Europe. Looking for lively ski villages (and we mean ‘party time’), great ski schools, well groomed slopes, modern lifts and value for money? La Cortinada is a new apartment block, a throw away from the famous resort of Ordino. With reliable snow coverage, a long ski season and plenty of sunshine, skiing in Andorra remains a popular and affordable choice for many young holiday makers.
