With the November nights drawing in, and that crisp biting chill in the air, many of us are probably feeling the urge to hunker down and hibernate. Moreover, why not venture to a luxury ski chalet, where you can overwinter in style?
Right now, it’s the perfect time to plan the yearly ski trip. Because what better way could there be to liven up the post-Christmas slump than breathtaking Alpine scenery, exhilarating slopes, and jovial times with family and friends in a luxury ski chalet.
Whether you’re more the early-rising, black-slope-hitter – or the roll-out-bed-at-two, there-for-the-après kind of chalet-dweller – here are some of the most stunning ski chalets money can get in the Alps. Warning: you’re about to get serious ski-envy…
1 – Chalet de la Concorde
Firstly, part of the obvious charm of skiing are the stunning mountain vistas, and you pretty much can’t do any better than this. Chalet de la Concorde features vast panes of glass at almost every turn, so you can bathe yourself in that gorgeous Alpine scenery while you’re doing… well, literally just about anything. And yes, that is the Matterhorn right there. The perfect place to enjoy a Toblerone, we think.
This luxury ski chalet is absolutely teeming with knowledgeable and experienced staff, who will be able to help you with anything from exhilarating ski excursions to providing spa massages to aching muscles after a long day. You’ll have a private professional chef for the entire stay, therefore no need to even cast a mid-slope thought towards your dinner plans.
2 – Chalet Superbe
Who says you can’t have it all? This top-notch ski chalet enjoys one of the most prestigious addresses in the charming Swiss ski resort of Zermatt. Find yourself a mere few steps away from the town center and Sunnegga funicular. Explore the best of the town’s nightlife, with the comforting thought of this perfect chalet waiting for you.
Brand-spanking-newly renovated, the high timber-beamed ceilings will make a striking impression; even on the most seasoned of chalet-goers. After removing the day’s snow-dusted ski gear in the private ski room, an elevator whisks you up to the open-plan living space, or straight to the private spa and jacuzzi facilities to ease those sore muscles in your luxury ski chalet.
3. Chalet Blanc
Step into the masterwork of renowned Interior Architect Magali de Tscharner. Not only are the views stunning, there’s plenty to look at on the inside, too. International lighting experts have created a stunning ambient effect with back-lit reclaimed wood beams on the lofty ceilings.
Larger groups can be accommodated here in generous luxury. Unwind in bedrooms for up to 14 people and dine at a large outdoor dining table on the south-facing terrace. The heated hot tub is the perfect way to get toasty no matter the weather in this luxury ski chalet.
4. Chalet Barnaud
No two chalets are quite alike, but we think this one has an especially unique touch. This 14-sleeper ski chalet fuses traditional Alpine styles with African decorative flourishes. It’s all tied together with tastefully worn leather sofas and distressed wooden furniture in this luxury ski chalet.
Aside from the striking views and decor, there’s plenty available to keep everyone occupied. There’s even a private cinema room and games room with pool table. Or, for a moment of zen, there can’t be anywhere better than the in-home spa, tastefully clad in Italian marble.
5. Chalet Anglais
A flagship luxury ski chalet on anyone’s books, and also the perfect home away from home – literally. Herringbone tweeds and custom-made English furniture provide a quirky British touch in this otherwise Alpine paradise.
Swimmers rejoice, as you won’t find a bigger private pool almost anywhere else. At 15 meters long, there’s ample space for kids to splash around. For adults, it’s the perfect place to take those relaxing morning lengths. Or head straight from the spa into the outdoor hot tub, with unbelievable panoramic views from this ski chalet.
