The story of the chalet,
The chalet , comes from the mountains, it exists in different forms, generally it is a small house made of wood or stone in the respect of traditions. It was used to store equipment for cattle breeders in summer in the pastures and as a holiday home in winter when there was too much snow to leave the herds there.
Mountain chalets are very present in France, especially in the northern and southern Alps. These numerous ski resorts, currently 342, make France the largest ski area in the world. The seasonal nature of these mountain accommodations makes them a prime target during winter, weekends and school holidays. They are suitable for everyone, families, couples, friends.
OTAs take great advantage of these often privately owned chalets and mountain accommodations in order to have them rented from their platforms and earn a commission.
The most effective way to avoid paying commissions is to have your own website with a booking engine and good SEO.
You want to increase your notoriety on the web and therefore your direct bookings thanks to a website but you don't know how to create it and even less what it should look like?

How to do?
In order to compete against OTAs, chalets and mountain accommodation have tools and solutions.
As stated above, these seasonal tourist structures need a site. But not only, some criteria must be respected.
It is strongly recommended to use an agency specializing in hotels and restaurants to be sure not to make any mistakes.
Here are some things to keep in mind when creating your site:
-
A visual identity
A graphic charter will be the basis of your site, it is all the elements that allow you to recognise your brand without having to highlight it. It can be a logo, one or more colours, a formatting, a very particular font that differentiates you from others and will make you unique. Once this graphic charter has been established, the design of your website for chalet or mountain accommodation will be consistent with your style.
-
A booking engine
The booking engine allows you to have a self-contained site that no longer depends solely on OTAs. The more your site is visible, the more likely you will be to obtain direct reservations in your chalet or mountain accommodation from your website.
-
Good SEO
Finally, a good SEO: when creating your site think about optimizing the texts, and not to weigh down your site with too many images that will not provide SEO . Keywords that are synonymous with your hotel business must be used. Photos can be renamed, consider using Titles and point lists.
The "proprietary booking site" option
You agree to invest in your brand image, with a non-commissioned booking site
