Chalet Riedsunne is the latest rental chalet to grace the affluent Swiss resort of Gstaad. The large double height ceilings of this converted barn give a feeling of space and the carefully selected furniture beautifully compliments the open wooden frame of the chalet. Two large fireplaces are the main focal points of the main living area whilst the wellness area on the ground floor is the perfect place to relax after a busy day on the slopes or an evening touring the many designer shops that Gstaad has to offer.
Chalet La Datcha in Courchevel 1850 is another chalet set to take Courchevel by storm. The chalet has been finished to an exceptionally high standard. Take the hand painted fireplace for example. This took an artist 4 weeks to paint. No expense has been spared creating this wonderful and inviting chalet. The wellness are come complete with an indoor swimming pool and indoor hot tub, both great ways of relaxing after skiing arguably Europe’s best ski area, the Three Valleys.
Megeve used to be a sleepy little alpine village until the Rothschild family became disenchanted with St Moritz and started spending their winter vacations in the resort. The resort soon grew and these days is seen as a playground for the rich and famous. The demand for luxury properties has risen and Chalet Des Sens is the latest property in Megeve to be welcomed onto the Ultimate Luxury Chalets portfolio. The chalet has all the facilities you would expect of one of Megeve’s most impressive properties. The swimming pool is bathed in light by the large floor to ceiling windows and the design combines clean cut furniture with varnished woods. If you are looking for a unique luxury ski chalet in Megeve then this could be the perfect chalet for you.
Val Thorens is one of the most popular resorts in Europe but one thing Europe’s highest resort has been missing is a high end luxury chalet. Val Thorens’ only luxury ski chalet is like no other. For a start it has a golf and a Formula One simulator. The views from the chalet are breathtaking and the property benefits from being ski-in/ski-out. The internal space is a whopping 1200m. Chalet La Datcha VT has everything you could ask for from 2 cinema rooms, an indoor and outdoor hot tub and a swimming pool. This is the first luxury chalet in Val Thorens but will it be the last? Watch this space.
How do you chose between the luxury chalets in Courchevel 1850. There are so many to choose from. One of the newest additions to the Ultimate Luxury Chalets’ list of luxury accommodation in Courchevel 1850 is Chalet Black Pearl. This chalet is perfect for large groups. It has 8 individual bedrooms and a total square meterage of 1350m2. It is big!! The biggest and best feature of the chalet has to be the indoor swimming pool and spa area. The pool is welcoming and the perfect place to relax after a day on the slopes. Non-skiers who don’t fancy braving the cold can relax here or top up their suntan on the UV Cabine. If you’ve tried most of the luxury chalets in Courchevel 1850 but fancy trying somewhere new then this chalet is highly recommended.
The Portes du Soleil is emerging as one of the top luxury ski areas. The resorts of Morzine and Les Gets have seen a large increase in the number of luxury ski chalets. Luxury Ski Chalets in Les Gets used to be few and far between, in the last couple of years a number of beautiful and luxurious ski chalets have emerged. One of the finest examples of such properties is Ferme de la Corderie. This beautifully converted former farmhouse is simply stunning. It sits on an elevated position overlooking the resort and ski area. The garden is perfect for sledging and the vast open plan living area and large windows give the property a feeling of space whilst letting in an abundance of light. The outdoor hot tub is the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Europe’s largest ski area, the Portes du Soleil.
