For winter 2026-27, catered chalets in Samoëns come in three shapes: a hosted chalet sold per person or per room, an exclusive-use chalet with chef and driver, and a rental where you add a chef. On 9 October 2026 PureChalets showed Chalet Bobeau from £710 per person for the week of 13 December 2026, while every winter week at Chalet APASSION was already marked fully booked.
Five operators publish a catered or chef-backed offer in Samoëns for this winter, and they sell different things. PureChalets and APASSION run hosted chalets priced per person. Ski In Luxury lets Ferme du Ciel whole, with chef and driver. Chalets in Samoens sells catering by the meal at Chalet Brio, and Peak Retreats can add a private chef to Chalet Arnica.
The table shows what each operator published on 9 October 2026, in its own currency; prices change as weeks sell.
Good to know: prices and availability move weekly in autumn. Ask the operator to confirm the week, the number of guests and what the quoted price covers before paying anything.
PureChalets has run chalets in Samoëns since 2005. Its catered week includes a daily breakfast with a hot option, afternoon tea and five four-course dinners, leaving two evenings for village restaurants. Children get a two-course high tea at around 6pm, and vegetarian, vegan, coeliac and dairy-free menus are listed.
Chalet Bobeau sleeps 20 in eight bedrooms, under five minutes on foot from the Grand Massif Express according to the operator. On 9 October 2026 it showed £710 per person for 14 adults arriving on Sunday 13 December 2026 and £1,200 for the week of 7 February 2027, with several January weeks full.
Chalet APASSION has four en-suite doubles for up to eight guests and is catered only in winter. Outside Christmas, New Year, February half-term and Easter, rooms are sold per person; peak weeks are whole-chalet only. The price covers breakfast and afternoon tea daily, dinner on five nights, local tourist tax and a lift shuttle before 10am and from 4pm to 6.30pm.
Winter stays need at least four nights. On 9 October 2026 every week from 20 December 2026 to 3 April 2027 was marked fully booked, at £890 to £950 per person, so ask about cancellations or 2027-28.
Ski In Luxury lets this converted farmhouse in Mathonex whole, for up to 12 guests. The winter package includes breakfast, afternoon tea and a three-course dinner, with one staff night off a week. Mathonex sits above the village, so the driver matters: 8.30am to 10.30am and 4pm to 6.30pm.
The 2026-27 calendar runs Saturday to Saturday. On 9 October 2026 it showed €14,000 for the week of 12 December 2026 and €18,000 for Christmas week, with the weeks of 26 December and 16 and 23 January already booked.
Chalet Brio sleeps 16, and its operator sells catering separately. The full package covers breakfast, afternoon tea and a four-course dinner, plus a shuttle to the lifts and to a restaurant on the night off; groups can also take breakfast only, chosen dinners or delivered meals.
Chalet Arnica, sold by Peak Retreats, opens from 28 November 2026 to 24 April 2027 and can come with a private chef. On 9 October 2026 its self-catered guide prices for seven nights, Saturday to Saturday with a Eurotunnel crossing, ran from £3,017 to £5,140; the chef is quoted separately.
Ask which evening is the night off and whether a lift there is included. Check lift-run hours against ski school times: posters on the British forum Snowheads describe the morning minibus and the afternoon pick-up call as what makes a catered week work, since some chalets are too far from the gondola to walk in ski boots. Confirm the currency, the minimum stay and how the damage deposit is taken.
Is a catered chalet in Samoëns sold per person? Sometimes. PureChalets and APASSION publish per-person prices, with APASSION selling peak weeks as whole-chalet only. Ferme du Ciel and Chalet Brio are booked as a whole chalet.
How many dinners does a catered week include? PureChalets and APASSION serve dinner on five nights of a seven-night stay. Ski In Luxury lists one staff night off a week at Ferme du Ciel.
Are winter 2026-27 weeks still available? On 9 October 2026 some weeks were open at Chalet Bobeau and Ferme du Ciel, while Chalet APASSION showed every winter week fully booked.

The word catered does not describe one standard package. Chalet Brio, Ferme du Ciel and Chalet Pomet provide three useful starting points for comparing who cooks, which meals are covered and how independently you travel.
