    I spent an incredible week at Chalet Skade over New Year’s and it couldn’t have been better! Had the best time skiing with a lovely group people and the après was unreal. The chalet itself is great and perfectly set up for relaxing after a long day on the slopes, especially with the hot tub and sauna. What really made the trip special, were the amazing hosts Grace and Thea. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, from the delicious meals to their friendly, laid-back vibe they created such a fun atmosphere. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone!

    I took the plunge and booked a ski trip as a total beginner—and wow, what an amazing week! Dan, who runs the show, was super helpful and always quick to respond, which made everything so easy. Grace and Thea, our fabulous hosts, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed (and then some!) the entire time. The chalet is great and in the perfect location—couldn’t have asked for better. 10/10 from me!

    My Wife and I joined the Intro to Off Piste week for the second time and had another 5 star holiday with the Hofnar Team. Daniel hosted us again. He remarkably keeps the energy up from the beginning of the week right to the end with a night out in the Cavern. Epic effort! The food was great, the banter was brutal, the beers were flowing and the crowd were fantastic. We really enjoy challenging ourselves with the off piste week, Alain and Guillome do a great job of getting us skiing areas we'd never normally access, way off the pistes and getting that adrenaline rush flowing. See you again soon! !

    Absolutely amazing trip, met some really great people and the skiing was awesome. Not really what I expected but in a good way, it wasn’t ran like your average chalet holiday, within 30 minuets it felt like I was on a holiday with a group friends I just hadn’t met yet. Our host Daniel seemed to be holiday with us which just added this reflaxed atmosphere and made everyone feel at ease. Couldn’t recommend HOFNAR enough and if you like me and struggle to get commitment out your friends to go skiing...... look no further. Thanks again HOFNAR

    h.o.f.n.a.r does exactly what is says on the tin - i.e. you go along to the week alone but come back with a load of new friends after having had a fantastic week in the snow. Our week can only be described as 'BIG'! Daniel is an excellent host (although im not sure how he finds the non-stop energy as I'm spent after a week and I've not done much cooking and cleaning!) and will make you feel at home with delicious food and banter. Highly recommend the off-piste week but do ensure you are already at a high standard of skiing/boarding otherwise you wont keep up. Will definitely be coming next year and will recommend to my other ski chums they do the same! Great work h.o.f.n.a.r!! See you next time!!

    Exceptional service and value for money. The hosts could not be more accommodating and everyone is almost guaranteed a good time. Having been to numerous catered chalets over the years, I can authoritatively say that HOFNAR is easily one of, if not the, best.

    This was the best holiday of my life. It was really well run from the airport pick up to making you feel very welcome the moment you arrive at the chelat. The food and drink is great and the night experiences in Morzene are fantastic. The best part though is the skiing. I could not ski before I got ther and couldn't really at the end of it but between lessons and dan taking his time with me I loved each and every one of the 6 days I speak to up there. If youre in your 20s, early 30s and thinking of a ski holiday this is the one. It's unreal.
