E-gift cards are also available for purchase at welchvillage.com. E-gift cards provide a QR code that can be used immediately for payment at our resort.

Indoor Chalet Policies

These policies are meant to create a positive and enjoyable experience for as many guests as possible during their visit to Welch Village. 

• All items such as bags, shoes/boots, coolers, and containers are not allowed to be stored at tables, on tables, under tables, on the floor, or around any seating area while you are skiing/riding at Welch Village.  All personal items must be stored in a seasonal locker, daily paid locker, or in a cubby/"coat hook"  area.  There is a cubby/"coat hook" area on both the first floor and second floor of the main chalet. If lockers and/or cubby areas are full, personal items must be kept in your vehicle.  WV staff reserves the right to move unattended items that are left in seating areas to a designated location. 
  
  
• Carry-on food is allowed in designated areas only. We do ask that guests keep carry-on-food to a minimum on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and during holiday hours.  All tables and seating space is reserved for guests purchasing Welch Village food and beverage during these peak periods. We recommend keeping large containers of carry-on food items in or at your vehicle at all times.

• There is a 30 minute time limit per table on weekends and during holiday hours to ensure that all guests are given a chance to use our seating & tables. We have a limited amount of tables on peak visit days and this policy is intended to offer more table & seating opportunities for more guests.
