Shortski – Short Ski Break in a Catered Chalet
A Shortski (short ski break) is a compact winter sports holiday of usually 3–5 days, ideal for a long weekend or midweek in the mountains. It allows you to enjoy the snow to the full even with limited days off. At Wens Chalets you can book a short ski break in a fully catered chalet, so you can head straight to the slopes upon arrival. Wens Chalets helps you completely unwind with an all-inclusive package: breakfast, a three-course dinner and all drinks are included in the price. This makes a Shortski more affordable than a full-week holiday and means you need fewer days off.
Advantages of a Shortski in a Catered Chalet
-
Fewer days off needed – A 3–5 day short ski break saves holiday days and is often cheaper than a full-week holiday.
-
All care included – You don’t have to cook or do any of the washing up. Every day you enjoy a full buffet breakfast and a freshly prepared three-course dinner, and all drinks (wine, beer, soft drinks, coffee/tea) are included throughout the day. The chalet hosts take care of everything so you can fully enjoy your short ski break.
-
Flexible bookings – Short ski breaks are very flexible and can even be arranged at short notice. Wens Chalets offers stays starting from just 3 days. Usually you can book a chalet from Saturday to Tuesday/Wednesday or from Tuesday/Wednesday to Saturday.
-
Groups of any size – Wens Chalets provides catered chalets for groups from 2 people up to 78. Whether it’s a small family trip or a large corporate outing, there’s a chalet to suit your group.
Shortski in a Fully Catered Chalet
A catered chalet at Wens Chalets is like having your own private ski chalet with the comforts of a hotel. Every morning a full breakfast buffet is laid out, and in the evening you enjoy a freshly prepared three-course dinner from your chalet hosts. All beverages (wine, beer, soft drinks, coffee and tea) are included, so nearly all your costs are covered and you don’t need to go shopping or cook between ski runs. The chalet hosts also handle daily cleaning and will have the beds made on your arrival, so after skiing you can simply relax in the sauna or by the open fireplace. In this way you enjoy the cosy privacy of your own chalet with a touch of luxury service.
Who Is a Shortski For?
Families and Friends
A Shortski is perfect for a group holiday with family or friends. A catered chalet offers plenty of space to chat together, play games or relax in the lounge after a day on the slopes. It’s especially convenient for families with children. Each chalet can provide cots and highchairs, and a children’s menu can be served on request. While the kids quietly head off to bed, parents can enjoy an undisturbed three-course dinner – all handled by the chalet staff. This makes your short winter sports trip a relaxing family outing or friends’ weekend.
Corporate Outings and Team Building
Short ski breaks are also popular as corporate outings or team-building trips. Wens Chalets offers catered chalets for up to 78 people, allowing colleagues to stay together in one chalet. In a private chalet, the entire team enjoys a cosy, luxurious atmosphere while being looked after with delicious meals and drinks. Winter sports are ideal for team building: skiing, snowboarding or sledging together strengthens bonds and provides relaxation. Popular short-ski destinations include Austria, France and Italy, which offer many opportunities for après-ski and team activities. It’s perfect for an unforgettable corporate snow retreat – your team will return to the office with new memories and a fresh boost of energy.
