20 Kilos (no baggage allowance for infants under 2 years of age).
Do the chalet staff live in?
The chalets are the home of the staff who work there. In most cases the staff actually live within the chalet, but there are a few chalets where this is not possible so the staff sleep in alternative accommodation nearby.
What are the facilities for children?
Most resorts have crèche facilities run by the local community (French speaking only): Meribel/Courchevel take age 18 months upwards. La Plagne & La Tania from 3 years. In all cases the parents must supply a medical record plus a doctors letter to confirm their well-being.
What are the catering arrangements?
Silver Ski provides breakfast of porridge, eggs, cereals, french bread, preserves, and afternoon tea with home made cakes, 3-course dinner at 7.30pm with free unlimited local wine.

Guests dine at a restaurant at their own expense. Please note that Silver Ski will try to accommodate special dietary requests but these cannot be guaranteed.

Can we pay our holiday by Credit Card?
Yes. There is a 2% charge. Lift passes can also be paid for by Credit Card with no additional charge. There is a £1.00 charge for debit cards.
Will there be snow?
Yes, for 2 reasons: Our resorts are very high mostly with access to glaciers and are very snow sure. All of these resorts have very extensive snow making machinery so that even in a poor snow season most runs are fully open.

Do Silver Ski offer any ski guiding/hosting services?
No, unfortunately due to new French authority regulations we are no longer able to offer this service.
