Why your chalet needs a welcome book
- Explain how the fireplace, wood stove or underfloor heating works
- Share altitude acclimatization tips for guests not used to the mountains
- Guide your tenants to ski lifts and slopes suited to their level
- Provide mountain-specific safety instructions and winter weather precautions
- Recommend the best mountain restaurants and local cheese shops
- Detail the storage and care of provided ski equipment
A stay in a mountain chalet is a unique experience that requires specific information your guests may not be familiar with. How the wood stove works, altitude acclimatization tips, ski slope access and winter precautions — a comprehensive welcome book makes all the difference.
Whether your chalet is at the foot of the slopes or nestled in an alpine meadow, your guests need guidance to fully enjoy the mountain environment. A personalized welcome book turns a simple stay into a memorable and safe experience.
Must-have information for a chalet
A mountain chalet has features you won't find in any other type of accommodation. Here are the three essential topics for your welcome book.
Heating and mountain comfort
Detail how the fireplace or wood stove works (lighting, type of logs, chimney maintenance), central heating, bathroom radiators and water heater. Specify where to find firewood and firelighters.
Resort access and activities
Indicate shuttle services to ski lifts, ski rental shops, toboggan runs, snowshoe trails and après-ski activities. In summer, share hiking trailheads and accessible lakes.
Safety and mountain living
Specify procedures for heavy snowfall, parking snow removal, snow chains, mountain emergency numbers and tips for driving on snowy or icy roads.
Infuse your welcome book with the soul of your chalet
Every chalet has its own charm and history. Convey this unique atmosphere through a welcome book that reflects the mountain spirit.
Wellness and relaxation area
Explain how the sauna, hot tub or Nordic bath works if your chalet has one. Specify usage hours, hygiene guidelines and startup instructions.
Mountain equipment
List the provided equipment: skis, snowshoes, sleds, hiking boots, walking poles. Indicate the ski room, boot dryer and available ski racks.
Mountain gastronomy
Recommend mountain restaurants, cheese shops, farmhouse inns and local producers. Share your fondue and raclette recipes along with the best places to buy the cheeses.
Altitude tips
Inform your guests about hydration at altitude, stronger sun protection, gradual acclimatization and altitude sickness symptoms. Invaluable advice for those coming from the lowlands.

Lighting the wood stove, operating the water heater or opening motorized shutters deserve step-by-step photos. Your city-dwelling guests will thank you.
