Skip the Supermarket, Keep the Snow: Why Catered Chalet Holidays in Serre Chevalier Are a Total Game-Changer
Imagine this: You’ve just come off the slopes. Your legs are jelly, your cheeks are wind-kissed, and your heart is full. The only thing missing? A three-course dinner magically appearing in your chalet—with zero effort from you.
Sound too good to be true?
Not in Serre Chevalier.
This winter, Go Serre Chevalier is changing the game with not one, but two ways to ditch the kitchen duty and focus on the good stuff—skiing, soaking, and spending proper time together.
Let us introduce you to The Haybarn (our all-inclusive catered chalet that’s turning heads) and Chalet Chef (Alpine dining delivered to your door). Whether you want full service or just a few nights off, this one’s for you.
🏡 First Up: Meet The Haybarn – Serre Chevalier’s All-Inclusive Chalet
Located in the heart of the valley and designed with both style and comfort in mind, The Haybarn isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to unwind completely.
Why It’s a Crowd Favourite:
All-inclusive luxury: Think of it as your own private ski hotel—with none of the crowds and all the charm.
Private chef: Every evening, your group will be served a restaurant-quality meal without lifting a finger.
Hot tub + boot warmers + log fire: Need we say more?
Perfect for families or big groups: Up to 14 guests can stay under one roof—ideal for those big milestone getaways.
You’ll wake up to a hearty breakfast, come home to après-ski snacks, and end the day with a three-course dinner (plus pudding that makes you question your commitment to dry January). Oh, and someone else handles the dishes.
“We stayed at The Haybarn in January and honestly? I haven’t relaxed like that on a ski trip ever. No cooking, no shopping, just skiing and good times.”
— Emily C., London
Who’s It For?
Families who don’t want to cook (or clean)
Groups looking for one all-in price
Skiers who prefer to focus on the mountain, not the meals
🧑🍳 Want a Few Nights Off? Say Bonjour to Chalet Chef
Maybe you’re staying somewhere self-catered. Maybe you love cooking—but just not every night. Maybe you want a proper grown-up dinner one night and a kid-friendly feast the next. That’s where Chalet Chef comes in.
It’s the sweet spot between full catering and self-catering. You choose the nights, the group size, and the vibe—we’ll bring the food.
How It Works
Minimum 3 nights, up to 6 evenings
Groups of 8+, with enough kitchen space for prep
Chef arrives, cooks, serves, and clears up
Menus tailored to your taste & dietary needs
Whether you fancy duck confit and crème brûlée, or something more casual like roast chicken and tartiflette, the Chalet Chef menus are fresh, flavourful, and made for mountain appetites.
Prices
£55 per adult (3 courses)
£25 per child aged 9–14 (2 courses)
£18 per child aged 4–8 (2 courses)

“Honestly? It was the best meal we had all week, and it came with no shopping, no washing up, and no hangry kids. Worth every centime.”
— Thomas D., Marseille
🍳 All-Inclusive vs Chalet Chef: Which Option Fits You?
Let’s break it down:
| Feature | The Haybarn (All-Inclusive) | Chalet Chef (Flexible Nights) |
|---|---|---|
| Meals included | Breakfast, afternoon tea, dinner | Dinner only |
| Alcohol | Optional add-on | BYO |
| Cleaning | Daily | Self-catered rest of the time |
| Perfect for | Longer stays, full groups | Families, short breaks, flexibility fans |
| Commitment | Full week | 3–6 evenings |
Still unsure? Ask yourself:
Are you staying more than 5 nights?
Is your group 8+ with enough kitchen/dining space?
Do you like cooking… but not every day?
Are you celebrating something special?
If you said yes to any of the above—you’re Chalet Chef material.
If you want total switch-off mode? Say hello to The Haybarn.
💬 Real Talk: Why Food Matters More Than You Think on a Ski Trip
Skiing burns through energy fast—and nothing tanks a holiday quicker than hangry kids, burnt pizza, or fighting over who’s on cleanup duty.
That’s why catering isn’t just a luxury—it’s smart holiday logistics.
Plus:
No shopping in a new town after a long travel day
No panic over missing ingredients
No cooking with dodgy hob setups or mystery ovens
And most importantly—no one stuck doing the dishes while everyone else hits the hot tub
