Website creation for chalet & tailor-made mountain accommodation
Where do the chalets come from?
With no less than 342 ski resorts, France is the largest ski area in the world. When skiing with family or friends, nothing better than staying in a chalet. In 2021 skidata.io produced a ranking of the best ski resorts in France out of the 232 still in operation. One of the 7 classification criteria is the charm of the resort and in particular the presence of authentic chalets.
Previously, the chalet was used by breeders to store equipment or food in the mountains and in winter they sometimes used it as a second home. It was in 1761 that the first English tourists discovered the chalet. This rustic aspect, this cozy and welcoming atmosphere hits the mark. Since then many have been built in Europe and today the chalet is a top-of-the-range accommodation intended for an affluent clientele. Made of wood or stone, their charm leaves no one indifferent. Some are even ready to spend a fortune to become the owner of a chalet. These welcoming accommodations are very successful in France.
More modern than at the time, the materials used for the rustic chalets remain the same. Nevertheless we have observed since the 90s the appearance of new mountain accommodation, cheaper and made of concrete.
What are the different types of chalets?
Depending on the region, the year of construction or the impact of different architectural cultures over time, the chalet has evolved. It is therefore found in different forms, in different places and for different uses.
The wooden chalets:
The most rustic, oldest and most imposing stacked wooden chalet. It is made of oak logs. The proportions of this construction are regularly imposing.
The post-beam wooden chalet, here the logs are no longer. Based on the same construction technique, wooden planks are positioned horizontally and vertically. But the know-how and the materials remain traditional.
The half-timbered wooden chalet, this one is based on a technique borrowed from traditional Breton houses, which are also found in Germany. A wooden structure, stone walls and floors and the typical grid structure of half-timbering visible on the outside.
The wooden frame chalet is quite simply a wooden construction where the ceiling doubles as the floor for the floor above. It is modular and is even available for purchase as a kit.
Why rent out your chalet?
Living in the mountains, breathing pure air a few days a year is the dream of many city dwellers. The winter holidays are the most expensive holidays and the clientele is wealthy. For a person who would have a chalet in the mountains, the opportunity is to be seized. In February 2022, the ski resort occupancy rate was 82% and has been steadily increasing since the post-covid period. With demand exceeding supply, prices rise quickly and your property becomes a very important source of seasonal income.
According to skidataio, a study of prices on all French ski resorts shows that renting accommodation on a week costs an average of €479 for two adults. Over a season of 5 months this amounts to 9580 €.
How to easily manage the rental of your chalet at a lower cost?
There are certain points that may seem complicated to manage for seasonal rentals and in our case chalet rentals. For example it is to be complete all season, to be visible on the web, to manage the reservations and the prices of his or her accommodations on all the different platforms existing in one and the same place.
In the end, there is nothing simpler. And that thanks to our various digital solutions and more precisely the creation of websites. Our sites are manageable, responsive, scalable, with motore di prenotazione and price management interface and calendar synchronized with OTAs.
