Christmas in the Alps offers you much more than skiing. It's an enchanting family experience, a suspended moment where the magic of the holidays takes on a new dimension, at the foot of the snow-capped peaks. To experience a Christmas in a chalet, nothing beats the authenticity of cozy accommodation at altitude, in the middle of the immaculate landscapes of the Alpes. Here's how to make your Christmas vacation a bubble of sweetness and magic for the family.
A chalet for Christmas: the unique atmosphere of the holidays in the mountains
Passer Christmas in a chalet invites you to rediscover the spirit of Christmases of yesteryear, when we took the time to spend time with family. Imagine: the snow falls silently outside, while you enjoy a hot chocolate by the fire, snuggled under a wool blanket, the children laugh near the illuminated tree.
The mountain chalets are carefully decorated for the holidays. In the chalets for rent at Pointe de sel, Christmas tree sits majestically in the living room, adorned with garlands, wooden decorations, or sparkling baubles and sometimes even small gifts slipped in early by Santa Claus. The dim lights and the fireplace add a warm atmosphere that invites you to slow down.
Some families also enjoy decorating the tree together, a simple yet meaningful activity that marks the beginning of the festivities. With Christmas carols playing in the background, the moment becomes magical.
Skiing, sledding and snowball fights: Christmas day with the family
On Christmas morning, once the presents are unwrapped, head to the slopes for a day of family skiing! Skiing on Christmas Day is a unique experience, the area is often less crowded, and the atmosphere even more festive: snow-covered fir trees, red hats on helmets and sometimes even a surprise visit from Santa Claus on the slopes.
For the little ones, a morning of sledding or a walk along the snow front will delight them. Adult non-skiers will enjoy a snowshoe walk in the woods, which is just as magical. Simply walking in the snow creates unforgettable memories. And then there are the impromptu snowball fights in front of the chalet, which are often a hit.
A well-deserved Christmas snack at the chalet
After a day outdoors, it's time for Christmas tea! In a chalet, everything is planned for a get-together with sweet treats. Pancakes, waffles, gingerbread, spiced hot chocolate, or even chocolate fondue: children and adults alike enjoy this moment with delight.
It's also the time to talk about your day, share the laughter of the descents or the funny falls, while the snow continues to fall outside. In our luxury chalets, this moment is even more cozy with homemade snacks prepared by a chef or delivered directly to the chalet.
Well-being, the star of Christmas après-ski in a chalet
For adults, the Christmas holidays are also an opportunity to pamper themselves. And what could be better than a wellness area in a chalet after a day of sports? Sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, heated pool: mountain chalets offer moments of pure relaxation.
A moment in the whirlpool bath overlooking the snow-capped peaks, followed by a massage or a yoga session in front of the bay window, and the magic of Christmas takes on another dimension. This time for oneself is an integral part of the experience of Christmas in a chalet.
Christmas activities and entertainment in the resort
Ski resorts are doubling down on creativity for the holidays. In addition to skiing, families can attend torchlit descents, visit local Christmas markets, admire the fireworks on December 24th or 25th, or meet Santa Claus on his sleigh. Unique activities like dog sledding, torchlit snowshoeing, or a family igloo-building activity enhance the stay.
Some resorts in the Alps also offer creative workshops for children: making Christmas decorations, cookie workshops, stories by the fireside... Enough to make the eyes of the youngest sparkle and offer a real moment of respite for parents.
Christmas evening in a chalet: pampering, indulgence and shared memories
When evening came, the Mountain Lodge becomes the ultimate cocoon. A beautiful table, a few candles, a comforting and festive meal (raclette, fondue, or a menu prepared by a home chef), and happiness is guaranteed.
Around the tree, we play as a family, we watch a Christmas film, we share a glass of mulled wine or an infusion. Christmas in a chalet, it's also these simple moments of conviviality, without pressure, just the pleasure of being together.
