Altabird Chalet

What an incredible property so conveniently located between Alta and Snowbird ski resorts. A perfect place for a family reunion with plenty of space for everyone. Ellie and Ryan, the caretakers, were so wonderful to deal with - quick to respond to all our needs and questions. Would definitely stay again.

Epic ski trip to Alta!!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful property! the house easily accommodated 11 people from three families. The bathrooms were well stocked with basic toiletries and the kitchen had salt/pepper, spices and olive oil/pam. The hot tub was great after skiing! Everything worked well and the property was perfectly located for our ski vacation! The property managers were very helpful. We would love to visit again!

large home w lots of bedrooms for 8 ski friends

House needs updating, accomodations are "dated" - but they're sufficient. It's a great location to base area lifts, you can wait a few minutes for local bus, or walk across Peruvian and main parking lot in morning to base, and ski home through Wildcat area.

Great place

Very large family space upstairs including well equipped kitchen. We fed 13 two nights. Good and flexible bedroom space. Caretaker-managers were very responsive to our questions before our stay and quite helpful when we were there. Access to skiing through Alta shuttle worked well when roads were open and not clogged with traffic. Highly recommend.

Great location, great on-site hosts!

Great location and spacious house with plenty of room for families. Our experience was made better by the constant help and communication with the on-site hosts Ellie and Ryan who managed snow removal and kept us informed about weather and travel advisories. The house is right by shuttle stop #9, and is an easy trip to both Wildcat and Albion bases. We also made use of the grocery delivery service (Susie) and Chef Meghan. We cannot recommend Chef Meghan's meal delivery service enough and will absolutely use her again next year. Looking forward to coming back for another trip in 2024!

Annual ski trip

Just completed our third stay at the AltaBird Chalet. Perfect house for our annual ski trip. As close to Alta as you can get. 3 minute free shuttle ride to wildcat base. Ski home at end of day. Property is immaculately maintained. Ellie and Ryan respond immediately to inquiries and are very flexible and accommodating. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. Large common area. Already ready to book our trip for next year.

Convenient luxury

Staying at the AltaBird Chalet was a total shot in the dark for my “guy's weekend” 50th birthday ski trip. And it was a bullseye. The property is conveniently located—close to Snowbird and Alta, and the Alta Shuttle drivers know exactly where it is for super-simple pickups and drop-offs. The home itself is pure luxury—big rooms, comfy beds, great hot tub, large garage for bigger vehicles, great bathrooms, and more. Thank you to the family who owns the Chalet and trusts strangers enough to stay in their lovely home. And thank you to the amazing hosts—Ellie and Ryan—for being so helpful, accommodating, and all-around great. I hope to organize another stay there in the future.
