Welcome to Snowypockets, celebrating twenty years of looking after our beautiful chalets, and, our guests, who love the idea of adventure in the mountains.
It is all about sociable fun with snowypockets.
Family fun in the snow and filling your pockets with fresh, cold, fluffy snow, off-piste snowy pockets to ski, summer snowdrops for your wild flower dining table display. Happy, active, kids make even happier grown ups!
Family Friendly
Twelve of these years have been with our two children, so we can truly testify that our chalet holidays are 100% family friendly.
Alpine Activities and Events
During these winter or summer stays, your party can pick and choose between the wide choice of alpine activities, events and eateries.
Hauteluce is central to two Alpine snow sure ski regions, totalling 300km linked pistes.
Arosa has many highlights beyond skiing. This snow sure ski resort offers 225 km high altitude pistes for all abilities. The running trails through the forests and mountains are incredible – and well maintained for year round running at high altitude. Equally these trails combine with hiking trails, nordic walking, and mountain biking trails, so everyone can enjoy nature and breathe really fresh air. Why not try cross-country skiing -classic or skating– or snow-shoeing? Again, you disappear into the depths of nature, with the mountain town of Arosa never too far away.
Summer Annual Events include GrishaTrail Ride, Wanderama
Food and Drink
You need not have the surprise of exorbitant prices on your holiday, as we have learnt all the benefits of living in Arosa and Hauteluce as locals – the restaurants will feel a delight and not a disappointment – an important criteria for us. Equally, our chalets offer well-equipped kitchens, so there are no limits to your holiday choices and enjoyment.
Little Extras (Arosa)
Would you like your shopping done on arrival? Cleaning up when you set out for the slopes? Toboggan swap with ski boots après-ski? We are available subject to teaching and changeover commitments, so each week is truly tailored to your needs.
Subsidised In-house Ski Hire
These are the ski carriage costs set by airlines this winter. If you haven`t yet bought any skis, give it some thought. Our in-house rental skis in Arosa are well-maintained, serviced and up to date – we fit you out on arrival in the comfort of your own home. As an added incentive, when you hire from us – four sets or more – you have helmet included in the price anyway, we shall join you for your first day skiing the 225km of high altitude skiing, only if desired of course! If this is not possible due to ski teaching commitments, we will certainly take you for night time tobogganing or après-ski speed skating, or whatever takes your fancy for group fun.
