Here at VIP SKI, we’ve always believed that little luxuries make a big difference. From our dedicated chalet hosts to our freshly baked afternoon cakes, we’re here to make your ski holiday as relaxed, indulgent, and memorable as possible.
This winter, we’re raising a glass to our guests - literally - by making a fully loaded ‘honesty bar’ fridge in your chalet completely free. It’s our way of saying thank you for choosing VIP SKI.
But before we get ahead of ourselves… we’re not quite sure what to call it. And that’s where you come in.
“Cool Box” is just our working title. We think there might be a better name out there - something a bit more fun, fitting, and alpine-inspired. And who better to ask than you, our guests?
What should we call it? Vote below or join the conversation on Instagram and tell us what you think in the comments.
If you’ve stayed with us before, you might remember our “honesty bar” system: a well-stocked fridge of beers and soft drinks where guests simply noted down what they used and settled up at the end of the week. This season, we’re delighted to do things a little differently.
Every catered chalet sleeping up to 10 guests will now receive one free Cool Box fill of 48 items. For larger chalets (11+ guests), we’re doubling the joy with two free fills included.
We’ll stock your fridge with a handpicked selection of complimentary beers and mixers, perfect for après-ski sundowners, pre-dinner G&Ts, or a casual nightcap. Just bring your favourite duty-free spirits, we’ll take care of the rest, including ice and a slice, and you don’t pay a penny.
Each classic box fill includes:
Prefer Something Different?
When you book an entire chalet, you can tailor the fridge to suit your party. Three choices: our standard Classic Box, the Beer Box, just beer, or our Mixer Box, 12 of each and no beer. Let us know in advance and we’ll customise your Cool Box to your taste.
Want a top-up?
Enjoying your drinks a little faster than planned? No problem - refills are available of the whole fridge for €85 or six packs of any single item you like for €15 (really sorry, we can’t mix the packs). Just speak to your chalet host and we’ll restock it for you straightaway.
The VIP Fridge is just one example of how we’re continually evolving our chalet experience to better suit the way our guests want to holiday. Whether it’s swapping out dishes for simpler or lighter alternatives in our switch menu or opting in to our 6 Night Nibbles supplement - where you’ll enjoy pre-dinner savoury bites and unlimited beer every evening for just £40pp - we offer a more personal, more flexible approach to catered ski holidays.
Whether it’s a celebratory drink to kick off the week or a quiet toast by the fire, we hope our VIP Fridge helps make your holiday even more special. It's just another way we’re putting hospitality, done properly, at the heart of everything we do.
We can’t wait to see what you come up with - and even more, we can’t wait to welcome you to the mountains.
Imagine this: after a thrilling day on the slopes and a hearty mountain lunch, you return to your luxury chalet, craving something lighter or simpler to wind down the evening. With our Switch Menu... Read More
