Travel Notebook Offers Top Ten Tips for Ski Chalet Chic

October 08, 2008 - Press Dispensary - Online directory and authority on travelling in style, Travel Notebook (http://www.travel-notebook.net ), is giving snow sports fans the inside track on the best boutique hotels and chic chalets available at renowned resorts around the world. From contemporary cabins in Chamonix to designer digs in Aspen, the site presents its top ten on and off-piste properties - guaranteed to delight the most demanding snow queens and kings.

Site founder and travel connoisseur, Lisa Corcoran, says: "Winter sports fans tired of traditional 'Heidi' hotels may not know how to find high style, design-led alternatives, and a random search on the internet will only result in information overload. With ski season just around the corner, why not delegate your decision making to Travel Notebook. We've already done the hard work researching scores of stylish spaces to give you the edited highlights."

Travel Notebook's top ten spans the refined European resorts of Chamonix and Les Allues in France, Verbier and Zermatt in Switzerland, Ischgl Tyrol in Austria and South Tyrol in Italy, before heading across the Atlantic to the legendary Aspen and Breckenridge in Colorado. Queenstown, New Zealand's premier alpine resort, completes the winter wonderland wish list.

Properties include an award winning boutique hotel in New Zealand, a high style chill pad in Aspen, and a collection of the Alps' most chic chalets and luxurious hotels all incorporating inspirational modern design. Each entry has a pithy write up in just ten words, for speedy review by time-poor skiers, with a link to the property's website if more information is required.

Lisa Corcoran concludes: "Travel Notebook has been designed to give seekers of chic an insight into the best that's available, and now style-savvy skiers and snowboarders don't have to compromise on contemporary design when they hit the slopes."
