Catering Information for Chalet Sagittaire

The following meals will be served for you in your Chalet with the standard menu:

Evening meals in your chalet (three courses with complimentary wine until coffee) will be served on six nights. On one night you'll also get to enjoy a two-course Alpine specialty meal. Guests will enjoy a comprehensive continental breakfast for seven mornings with delicious and varied hot options provided by your hosts on five days. On your chalet hosts’ day off, continental breakfast will be laid out and guests are free to enjoy dinner in the resort.

Please note this is based on seven-night holidays. Your chalet staff will have 1 day off. For holidays of shorter durations, catering will be provided for 1 day less than the holiday duration.

Silver Wine
Served for the duration of your catered evening meals, until coffee

Rosé: La Belle Emilie Rosé - Fresh and fruity with notes of blackcurrant, raspberry and strawberry. Simple and refined

Children
Please advise your children’s ages at the time of booking so that hosts can be prepared for their arrival. If you require high tea for children, it will be organised for them every evening, featuring child-friendly, nutritious dishes. This must be requested at the time of booking and please make sure it is noted on your invoice, otherwise a charge will be payable in resort.

Dietary Requests.

The chalet menus are set as this enables your tour operator to maximise their buying power and to ensure a consistently high standard of delicious cuisine.

It has been found recently that requests for dishes/food outside of the set menus have increased and become more complicated. Frequently they involve ingredients that are not readily available in ski resorts, (or are expensive if they are), or that need to be prepared in addition to the normal set menus delivered by your chalet hosts. Often we have not been notified in advance of someone requiring vegetarian food for example.

We are of course happy to discuss any requests with you as long as you do this before you book. We may need to check that your chalet host can prepare and source different ingredients from those they have in stock or buy normally for the set menus. Please make sure that your request (as per the table below) is on your invoice.

We are delighted to cater for the dietary requirements in the table below. However, we cannot cater for combinations of these, for example someone who eats no fish and who also does not eat diary. If you think this applies to you, please contact us BEFORE you book so that we can discuss your requirements first. It may be the case that a self-catering option is better suited to you as opposed to a catered chalet with set menus.

Food allergies:

We cannot guarantee the complete avoidance of specific foodstuffs and therefore cannot accept any liability in the event of an allergic reaction. When you travel with us you accept that our chalet teams, whilst trained are not always qualified professionals and despite their best efforts we cannot guarantee zero contact with specified foodstuffs, that cross contamination cannot be ruled out, that we have no control over items of food brought in by other guests and that we cannot always be aware of precise food contents of ingredients.

Please be aware that we cannot cater for anyone with an airborne nut allergy or anyone who is allergic to even traces of nut – it is impossible for us to guarantee that any ingredients from our suppliers are free of any nut traces at all or that they have been handled in a nut-free environment.

Nor are we able to cater for a low FODMAP diet for example.

As you can see there is a charge for some dietary requests. Whilst there is not a charge for every type of dietary requirement, if any request is not pre-booked you will be charged in resort.

Having costs for dietary requests means we are better prepared. This ensures we can continue to offer ski holidays at such incredible prices whilst still producing mouth-watering, locally inspired menus that are sure to impress!

However please note, not all dietary requests can be met, so it is important you discuss any requests with us before you book as a chalet holiday may not be right for you.
