For a group, a whole chalet usually beats a condo or a hotel. A chalet gives you the entire property — full kitchen, private hot tub, multiple bedrooms and living space, and parking — with no shared walls or hallways. A Village condo means a shared building and often a smaller unit; a hotel splits your group across separate rooms with no common space. A chalet keeps everyone together and is typically better value per person for 10–14 guests.

When a chalet wins
If your group is 10 or more, a chalet almost always wins: everyone shares a kitchen, living room, and hot tub instead of texting between hotel rooms. You can even book several adjacent chalets so each family has a private chalet while staying on one property. Compare the full range on the chalets page or see the cost breakdown.
When a condo or hotel might fit
For one or two people, or a one-night stopover, a Village condo or hotel room can be simpler and slopeside options exist. But for a family, a reunion, a ski or golf trip, or any group that wants to be together, a chalet gives far more space, privacy, and value per person.
