I reckon that depends on the service you got.
First class chalet maids I would tip 10-15 euros per couple/room, and sliding scale down from there. If the average chalet has 5-7 room, then thats 50-100 euros. Not too bad for doing their job.
Previously had a maid not worth a dime, so that's what she got.
Am I mean?

last year I think we did 10 euros per couple and the staff seemed very pleased. the year before we didn't give them a bloomin penny because they didn't deserve it :evil:. in fact, I think they should've tipped us for putting up with them!

It's quite simple, tip only if you have received good service do not tip just because everybody else does :wink:

Agree with Ian, dont feel obliged to tip anyone.
I dont usually tip anyone for anything in the UK as I believe we are over charged for a generally poor service. there are of course the odd exceptions.However, Mrs H believes the waiters make up their small income by receiving tips and feels obliged to always leave a couple of quid.
As for chalet staff, all 8 of us tipped 5 euros each which was £40 for the guy. He was good as gold, a decent cook, and had to put up with a hell of a lot of banter all week so he earned it. However, I wouldnt tip anyone if I thought they hadnt deserved it. Most of us left our ski passes behind as we had spent up, so the chalet host could go and cash the deposits in at 5 euros a go.
Not sure if thats the goind rate, but it seemed to be agreeable with everyone.

Perhaps I was a bit generous but definitely think it was worth it for the service we had all week..
Is this for chalet type hotels or privately run chalets?
