Chalet Edelweiss

chalet · Ski-in/ski-out; winter arrival uses the Chalet Shuttle from Clock Tower Lodge

A strong fit for skiers who want to sleep on the slopes. Arrange winter arrival with the Chalet Shuttle team: guests and luggage travel from Clock Tower Lodge because there is no paved winter walkway to the chalet. Choose a room or suite for your party and confirm any meal or waterpark package separately.
