Many ski apartments are purpose-built close to the ski slopes to offer maximum convenience. Enter your chosen ski destination + "apartments" to find ski apartments for rent at your destination:
A self-catering apartment is usually the best value for money and can offer accommodation for anything between 2 and 12 people. Although found all over the ski world, apartments are particular common in France, where the smallest are referred to as studios, and in the United States, where they are commonly known as condominiums or just "condos". Traditional French apartments in altitude resorts are known for being cramped and for having fairly basic facilities beyond the kitchenette, but in recent decades these have been largely phased out and replaced by superior, more spacious versions with better facilities. Be aware of what you actually get with your apartment. You may be asked to pay a deposit and you may be asked to queue at some central office to collect blankets to make up your beds. You may also find you need to purchase items like toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets and other essentials on arrival. Also you may need to clean your apartment before you leave or pay extra to have this done. Recently more and more operators now ensure your beds are made up on arrival, and that you have a welcome pack with essentials and that cleaning is included. None of these items are likely to be an issue in a US condo, where you are more likely to have too much space, too much beddings and to many bathrooms. Usually you have to pay for the number of persons the apartment is mend for. This means that if you are three people staying in a four bed apartment you will normally pay a small supplement for the non-use of the fourth bed. Generally, the most cost efficient is therefore to fill the apartment. Variants to apartments include ApartHotels which are apartment complexes with optional hotel facilities and services. In some places, particularly in Scandinavia, you may be able to rent a log cabin or wooden cottage, which operates in essential the same way as an apartment, but is a single unit.
