Ski resort brochure
Und bei Hüttenzauber und Apres-Ski kommt die richtige Stimmung auf.
Don't you just love marketing brochures! This one's for a ski resort. "Hut magic", "magic of a hut", "magic in a hut". Any better suggestions?

party time at the chalet
I'm certain that "Hüttenzauber" is a play on "Budenzauber" which means jamboree or party according to the Collins Large German Dictionary

charming chalets
The charming chalets and excellent apres-ski combine to produce an atmosphere that is absolutely spot on.
If you need to stick with huts, then ...
the cosy huts, homely huts, fantastic huts ... I'd be wary of using the word 'magic', and think it sounds more natural to use an adjective to describe them.

Klaus\' \'cabin\' is a better choice than \'hut\' I think. Depends on whether you know exactly what they are trying to suggest is going on ...
cosy cabins
cracking cabins (although that might sound a bit dangerous!)
The cosy cabins and the fantastic apres-ski all add up to a cracking atmosphere!

OK - I\'m prepared to go with the flow here, my interpretation was obviously slightly off target )-:
So ...
The electric party feeling and fantastic apres ski make for a cracking atmosphere!

(Blush!) Thanks, Chris! I'm happiest with chalets, but would go for 'cabins' over 'huts' ....(-:

fun & games in the log cabin
a hut here is, I believe, a log cabin, and I think fun and games expresses the "Zauber"

log cabin fun, even shorter

if this isn\'t taking place in an actual cabin, try \"log cabin-style fun\" - at the end of the day, the log cabins are the original places where these things took place, but nowadays you can find this type of entertainment in most ski accomodation centres

Uschi (Ursula) Walke
: that's the right meaning. Rustic fun and games. I would drop the cabin, since Hütten refers to the athmosphere, not the locality.

the enchanting chalets
the bewitching chalets
the fairy tale log cabins
the magical log cabins
I think you need to use either chalet or log cabin.
I am taking Zauber to mean something from another world rather than cosy and comforting. A little log cabin so breathtakingly magical it's like being in another world...a world of fairy tales and magic! An escape from 'real life'!

Yes...is the emphasis on the 'apres-ski' partying or the fairytale setting, or indeed an enticing mixture of the 2!!
