Chalet Rafalt is now closed for the 2018/19 season. We would like to thank all of the people who decided to stay with us this past winter. And we would like to thank mother nature for providing the best winter on our lives! We are still trying to process the amount of incredible deep powder days we were able to share with great friends and family! Things are already starting to fill up for next winter, so please make your reservation for lifetime memories for the 19/20 season soon.
The blog posts have suffered this season due to the insane amounts of snowfall we have been blessed to receive this winter in the Arlberg. In the 20 years I have skied here, this is the most consistently amazing skiing I have experienced. We had a break of blue skies and warm weather the second half of February, but baring that, have skied deep powder almost daily since early December. Guests have been fortunate to capitalize on the amazing conditions!!
In addition to the skiing, groups from Australia, the UK, The Netherlands various Canadian cities including Banff, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal have taken advantage of some very fun nights at Krazy Kanguruh, Mooserwirt, the Museum, Piccadilly, Happy Valley, Rodel Alm, and The Hospiz Alm amongst other great spots. Some real highlights have been had during apres ski at Balm Alp in Lech, soaking up the incredible view from mountain top and the awesome music. The ski down under pink skies has been truly memorable.
Time around the chalet enjoying Maaike’s cooking and apres dinner in the kitchen have also provided so many good times.
We are so thankful to those of you who have stayed at Chalet Rafalt this season, and we look forward to the rest of you on your way!
Kind regards,
R&M

January has brought metres of snow to St. Anton and an incredible run of skiing. For the second straight January, avalanche forecasters raised the hazard to level 5 or extreme and the roads and trains were once again closed into the town. It is always exciting to watch mother nature show us who is really the boss! The lower mountain lifts remained open and the tree skiing was epic. The sun has come out during the last 10 days and the avalanche forecast has dropped all the way to level 1, or low in the alpine and all sorts of skiing have been fabulous. Pistes with no ice, cold powder snow for ski tours and vistas for miles! There are a lot of smiling faces on the mountain!!
Chalet Rafalt still has the final week of March available!
All for now,
R&M
