L’Ecrin Des Sybelles La Toussuire, France
Prefer the freedom to eat what and when you want? This self-catering pick could be right up your piste. You’ve got a choice of well-equipped apartments for up to eight people – and as an extra perk, each one has a balcony or terrace. And it ticks the box when it comes to location too. You're just strolling distance from the slopes and resort centre, with a ski bus stop metres away if you’re headed further afield.
As for looks, it’s classic alpine from top to bottom – we’re talking lots of natural wood and stone, with old skis and photos of the resort from days gone by hanging on the walls. A proper wood fire burns in the corner of the communal lounge, and you’ve got plenty of squishy armchairs dotted here and there.
Remember to pack your swim things to make the most of the pool and wellness area. You’ll get one free use of the sauna or steam room included, but you can pay a small fee to add more sessions to your stay.
All apartments are non-smoking and have a kitchenette with hobs, combi microwave oven, toaster, fridge, kettle and dishwasher, as well as a satellite TV and a hairdryer (available to borrow from reception). Towels and bed linen are included. Extra charge for WiFi and end-of-stay cleaning.
When you arrive, you’ll need to pay a deposit of approx. €400 in cash or by credit card for each apartment on your booking. Check our Crystal A-Z for more information on deposits.

The advantage of booking a self-catered skiing holiday is often the price. The disadvantages mean either eating out, which in a ski resort is often expensive, or it means having to cook your own meals, which probably means less time skiing, and who really wants to shop and then cook an evening meal after a full days skiing?
Huski, the Alps-based catering business offers a great solution, that means you can still enjoy the great value of a ski apartment or self-catered chalet and eat well without the fuss of having to cook your own food.
Huski delivers a week’s worth of dishes, freshly frozen and ready for you to just heat and serve.
Huski catering is only available to properties in French ski resorts.
