The Lodge in Verbier, Richard Branson’s Alpine Retreat
The Lodge Verbier, owned by the one and only Richard Branson, is a winter retreat that offers the highest standards of luxury that money can buy. The Ultimate Luxury Chalets team wanted to get an insight into what makes this incredible chalet and its service so unique……..
Besides being ski in/out, capable of hosting up to 18 adults and 6 children, The Lodge provides a completely bespoke experience for each of its guests. The concierge are on hand to organise tailored excursions such as mountain biking and paragliding in the summer.

The Lodge Verbier, allows couples to tie the knot right in the heart of the Swiss Alps! Say your vows to your chosen one in either a local Registry Office or a Church Wedding. The Lodge can play host to both the pre-& post-wedding celebrations in the ultimate of luxurious settings.
Guests won’t only be amazed by the calibre of chalet they are staying in but also the level of service that is provided is second to none. The food served at The Lodge is one of the highlights of a stay, with chefs being able to serve a mixture of Swiss and International cuisines, meaning even the pickiest of eaters won’t have tummy rumbles during the course of the ceremony. The very special first meal as a married couple can be as formal or informal as the couple wish it to be, with the team being able to offer multiple-course gourmet taster meals to home-style classics! Nothing is too big an ask for the catering team and they thrive on being set a challenge!

Evenings are when the party starts and, weather permitting, the team at The Lodge Verbier can arrange an al-fresco dining experience, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh mountain air on the terrace of the chalet with an indulgent barbecue feast. Shuck an oyster, guzzle some champagne and soak up the views and natural beauty that will never be forgotten.
Richard Branson’s Chalet stocks a great range of international wines, top quality spirits, international beers and excellent house champagne. Pre or post wedding day, when the weather is glorious, The Lodge team can organise excursions and activities on the mountain. Don’t fancy leaving the Chalet? Guests can take a dip in the indoor heated pool, or soothe aching limbs in the steam room, and the indoor and outdoor hot tubs (with the obligatory champagne bucket obviously!), allowing you to feel a rested and relaxed as possible. After all, this partying malarky and indulgent eating is tough work, isn’t it?! For those that do feel a little too over-indulged, there is a fully equipped gym for you to blast a work-out and attempt to sweat out the last night’s festivities.
Time to let your hair down and show the rest of the party your moves!……The Lodge comes with an incredible and diverse party area to host unforgettable nights. Obviously there is the bar……a party chalet wouldn’t be complete without one.
