About This Collection
A ski holiday with a large group is a different proposition entirely -- more laughter at dinner, more stories on the chairlift, more of the people you actually want to spend time with gathered under one roof. But it only works when the chalet is right. Too small and you are on top of each other. Too basic and half the group is uncomfortable. Without catered service, someone always ends up in the kitchen while everyone else is on the mountain.
Powder Edition's large-group collection solves all of it. Every chalet here accommodates ten or more guests with room to spare, comes with a private chef and dedicated host, and offers the kind of generous communal spaces -- vast living rooms, long dining tables, wellness areas -- where a big group can spread out yet still come together.
Whether you are reuniting old university friends, celebrating a milestone birthday, or bringing three families together for the half-term week, these are chalets built for gatherings that people talk about for years.
Why It Matters
The temptation with a big group is to book adjacent hotel rooms or split across multiple apartments. It never works. Half the group is perpetually in transit between buildings. Meals become a logistical headache. The spontaneous, communal atmosphere that makes a group holiday special simply does not materialise.
A single large chalet changes everything. There is one shared living space where conversations happen naturally. One dining table where everyone sits together. One boot room, one hot tub, one fire to gather around at the end of the day. The economics are compelling too -- split across ten or more guests, a luxury chalet with full catered service often costs less per person than a good hotel, while delivering an incomparably richer experience.
Crucially, the catered service means nobody in the group sacrifices their holiday to feed everyone else. The private chef handles breakfast, afternoon tea, and a multi-course dinner each evening. The host manages the logistics. All your group has to do is ski, socialise, and enjoy.
What to Expect
Every property in this collection accommodates at least ten guests and includes catered service with a private chef and host. But capacity alone does not qualify a chalet -- we select for the communal qualities that make a group stay work.
Expect spacious open-plan living and dining areas designed for entertaining, not just sleeping. Long dining tables that seat the entire group together. Multiple bathrooms so nobody is queuing at peak times. Boot rooms that handle a dozen pairs of skis without chaos. Many properties also feature wellness facilities -- hot tubs, saunas, or swimming pools -- that become the natural gathering point after a day on the slopes.
Bedroom configurations vary to suit different group compositions, from all en-suite doubles for a friends trip to a mix of master suites, twins, and bunk rooms for multi-family holidays. Our concierge team can help match the right configuration to your group.

Courchevel's legendary hospitality infrastructure makes it one of the finest resorts for large group stays. The resort hosts some of the Alps' most spacious and well-appointed chalets, many with dedicated staff quarters, cinema rooms, and wellness centres. Its broad, immaculate pistes are ideal for mixed-ability groups, and the village offers world-class dining for nights the group ventures out.
Val d'Isere combines world-class skiing with a sophisticated village atmosphere that large groups adore. The resort's best chalets sit close to the slopes with ski-in ski-out access that eliminates the logistical challenge of getting a big group to the lifts each morning. Catered service here is exceptional, with chefs who can cater to groups of twenty or more without missing a beat.
At the heart of the Three Valleys, Meribel offers large groups unrivalled access to 600 kilometres of interconnected pistes. Its chalet-dominated architecture means properties here are purpose-built for communal living, with generous proportions and a warm, sociable atmosphere. The central location means your group can ski in different directions each day and still reconvene for afternoon tea.
Morzine's chalet stock naturally lends itself to large groups, with many properties originally built as substantial farmhouses converted into generous holiday homes. The village's position in the Portes du Soleil provides access to over 600 kilometres of linked terrain, giving mixed-ability groups the freedom to ski in different directions each day while still meeting for lunch. Morzine's spacious chalets in the Avoriaz road and Les Prodains areas frequently accommodate twelve to twenty guests with the communal living spaces -- large open-plan kitchens, wrap-around terraces, and generous boot rooms -- that make shared holidays work. The village itself is lively and walkable, with enough bars and restaurants to keep the group entertained on evenings out, while the cost per head remains significantly lower than the more exclusive French resorts.
Verbier is a natural choice for large groups thanks to its exceptional off-piste terrain, vibrant apres-ski scene, and concentration of spacious luxury chalets designed for entertaining. The resort draws a lively, social crowd, and the sheer variety of skiing -- from gentle cruisers to the infamous Mont Fort itineraries -- means every ability level in your group will be challenged and delighted.
St. Anton is the natural choice for large groups who want serious skiing by day and legendary apres-ski by evening. The Arlberg region offers 300 kilometres of interconnected terrain that satisfies every ability level within a single group -- from gentle cruisers on the Galzig to the steep, ungroomed challenges of Valluga. St. Anton's chalet and lodge properties are built for socialising, with communal dining areas, generous living spaces, and the kind of boot rooms that handle a dozen sets of equipment without descending into chaos. The village's apres-ski culture, centred on the Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh, provides ready-made group entertainment, while the quieter bars along the main street suit those seeking a more relaxed evening. Transfers from Innsbruck airport are under ninety minutes, simplifying logistics for groups arriving from multiple cities.
Megève's refined village atmosphere and Mont Blanc setting provide a sophisticated backdrop for large group gatherings. The resort's chalet stock includes several grand properties that accommodate fifteen to twenty-five guests in genuine luxury, with professional-grade kitchens, formal dining rooms, and spa facilities that would not be out of place in a boutique hotel. The skiing across three linked domains is predominantly intermediate, making it ideal for mixed-ability groups where not everyone wants to tackle black runs. Megève's pedestrianised centre offers excellent shopping, dining, and a weekly market that gives the group excursion options beyond skiing. The resort's proximity to Geneva airport -- around seventy-five minutes by road -- makes it accessible for international groups coordinating travel from different origins.
La Tania is the Three Valleys' best-kept secret for large group holidays -- a small, ski-through village offering direct access to Courchevel and Méribel at a fraction of the cost. The resort was purpose-built for the 1992 Olympics and its layout is designed around convenience: chalets sit close to the piste, the village centre is compact and car-free, and the ski-in ski-out access eliminates the morning logistics that can derail a big group's day. Several La Tania chalets accommodate ten to sixteen guests with open-plan living areas, long dining tables, and boot rooms positioned for maximum efficiency. The village has enough restaurants and a small supermarket for essentials, while the sophistication of Courchevel 1850 is a short ski away. For groups who prioritise value and slope access over glamour, La Tania delivers remarkably well.
Tignes appeals to large groups who prioritise snow reliability and sporty skiing above village aesthetics. At over 2,100 metres, the resort guarantees excellent conditions from November through May, removing the anxiety of booking a big group trip months in advance. The Espace Killy ski area, shared with Val d'Isère, offers 300 kilometres of terrain across every ability level -- important when your group spans beginners to experts. Tignes Le Lac provides the best selection of larger properties, with apartments and chalets designed for groups of ten to twenty. The resort's leisure facilities -- swimming complex, ice rink, and indoor sports centre -- offer group activities beyond skiing, and the compact layout means nobody gets lost between the chalet and the slopes. The value proposition is strong: large groups get high-altitude, snow-sure skiing with catered service at rates considerably below the Trois Vallées.
Lech offers large groups the Arlberg's 300 kilometres of terrain wrapped in a traditional Austrian village atmosphere that feels exclusive without being exclusive in price. The resort's chalet and lodge properties tend toward the traditional and substantial, with wood-panelled dining rooms, generous living spaces, and the kind of warmth that Austrian hospitality does better than anywhere else. Mixed-ability groups are well served: the Arlberg's terrain ranges from the gentle Oberlech nursery slopes to the challenging runs off the Madloch and Zuger Hochlicht, while the Ski Arlberg pass connects to St. Anton, Warth, and beyond. Lech's village is elegant and compact, with excellent restaurants and a social but refined apres-ski culture. The Rüfikopf cable car provides a direct link to Zürs and St. Anton, expanding the options for stronger skiers in the group without requiring a car or bus transfer.
Zermatt elevates a large group holiday from celebration to spectacle. The Matterhorn provides the most dramatic backdrop of any ski resort in the world, and every dinner, every terrace coffee, every chairlift ride is enhanced by its presence. The car-free village adds a sense of occasion that impresses even well-travelled guests, while the skiing across Zermatt and Cervinia encompasses over 360 kilometres of terrain for every ability. Large chalets and apartment complexes in the Steinmatte and Winkelmatten areas offer generous space for groups of twelve or more, with communal areas designed for gathering. Zermatt's restaurant scene gives the group outstanding options for evenings out, from mountain dining at Chez Vrony to village institutions like Whymper Stube. The rail connection from Zurich and Geneva airports makes coordinated group travel straightforward despite the resort's remote Alpine setting.
St Martin de Belleville is the authentic village alternative for large groups who want Three Valleys access without Three Valleys prices. This genuine Savoyard village has retained its character while offering lift-linked access to Méribel, Les Menuires, and the full 600-kilometre network. Chalets here tend to be traditional, spacious, and excellent value -- several properties accommodate twelve to eighteen guests with the communal living spaces, long dining tables, and generous proportions that large groups need. The village's quiet, traffic-calmed streets create a relaxed atmosphere for groups with children or older members, while stronger skiers can range across the entire Three Valleys system. St Martin's small selection of restaurants and bars provides enough variety for a week without the overwhelming choice of its larger neighbours, and the twice-weekly market adds local charm.
Serre Chevalier is the Southern Alps' answer to the large group holiday -- a 250-kilometre ski area spread across four interconnected villages that offers exceptional value, outstanding sunshine, and a genuine local atmosphere. The resort's chalet stock is generous and well priced, with several properties in Villeneuve and Le Monêtier accommodating twelve to twenty guests in comfort. The south-facing slopes receive more sunshine than almost any major French resort, creating pleasant on-mountain conditions that suit groups with less experienced skiers. The terrain is varied enough to keep experts and beginners occupied on the same mountain, with Le Monêtier's north-facing bowls providing challenge while Villeneuve's broad runs build confidence. The historic spa town of Le Monêtier-les-Bains adds a wellness dimension, and the proximity to Briançon -- a UNESCO-listed garrison town -- provides a cultural excursion for rest days. Transfer times from Turin airport are under two hours, offering an alternative routing that often simplifies group logistics.
La Plagne's Paradiski area offers large groups 425 kilometres of terrain linked to Les Arcs via the Vanoise Express cable car, providing a vast playground for every ability level. The resort's purpose-built villages -- particularly Plagne 1800 and Belle Plagne -- feature larger apartments and chalets designed for groups, with direct ski access and proximity to ski schools that simplify morning logistics. La Plagne excels at keeping mixed-ability groups together: its wide, cruising blue runs are among the best in the Alps for intermediates, while the off-piste beneath the Bellecôte glacier challenges experts. The bobsleigh run, built for the 1992 Olympics, provides a unique group activity, and the resort's indoor sports facilities offer alternatives on rest days. For large groups seeking value without compromising on terrain quality or snow reliability, La Plagne's combination of altitude, scale, and practical infrastructure is difficult to beat.

Every chalet in this collection sleeps at least ten guests, with many accommodating fifteen, twenty, or more. The largest properties in our portfolio can host groups of thirty or more across multiple en-suite bedrooms. Our concierge can match the right chalet to your exact group size.
Yes. Every property in this collection includes a private chef and dedicated host. The standard service covers daily breakfast, afternoon tea, and a multi-course dinner with wine. This is essential for large groups -- it eliminates the logistical burden of feeding ten or more people and ensures everyone can focus on enjoying the holiday.
Absolutely, and this is one of the great advantages of a large group chalet. When the total cost is divided across ten, fifteen, or twenty guests, the per-person rate for a fully catered luxury chalet is often comparable to -- or less than -- a standard hotel room. Our concierge can provide per-person breakdowns to help you coordinate group payments.
Our strongest selections for large groups are in Courchevel, Val d'Isère, Méribel, where you will find the highest concentration of spacious, well-staffed chalets. Resorts in the Three Valleys, Espace Killy, and Portes du Soleil are particularly well-suited thanks to their vast ski areas that cater to all abilities within a single group.
This is a key selection criterion for every property in this collection. We prioritise chalets with spacious open-plan living and dining areas, long tables that seat the entire group, multiple bathrooms, generous boot rooms, and shared facilities like hot tubs, saunas, or cinema rooms. These communal spaces are what transform a big group trip from merely shared accommodation into a genuine gathering.
Our chalet chefs are experienced in catering to diverse groups with multiple dietary needs. Whether your party includes vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or allergy-specific requirements, the chef will adapt every meal accordingly. Simply share all dietary information when booking and the kitchen will handle the rest seamlessly.
