Chalet Les Hêtres

Many Alpine luxury ski chalets can boast a good location, but few can match the stunning aspect and amazing views from Chalet Les Hêtres, built into a mountainside above Verbier. Sleeping up to ten people in four rooms, Les Hêtres offers its guests superlative facilities, including an indoor pool and a fantastic spa, in one of the Swiss Alps’ most vibrant resorts. This 365 square-metre property really makes the most of its footprint and its position with windows and balconies bringing the mountains inside and putting you close to the mountains.

A hot tub is the perfect finishing touch. This world-class luxury holiday chalet has been beautifully designed to offer guests an extraordinary experience in extraordinary surroundings with south-facing windows and balconies providing jaw-dropping views of one of the world’s great panoramas. The entrance through your private garage is on the first floor, taking guests straight into the open-plan living and dining area. Soaring ceilings and huge expanses of glass set the tone.

While the view is a star attraction, this room is also eye-catching, with classic Alpine design – wooden boards and beams, a big stone fireplace – underlying a relaxed and laid-back design aesthetic that runs through the chalet. You’ll find yourself drawn to the exterior though, and a large balcony allows you to gaze down at the lights of Verbier, or up to the Alps and the stars beyond. Underneath you is the entertainment floor of this cleverly put together building. There you’ll find a spa worthy of the Champs Elysees, with a hammam, a large indoor pool, and a gym.

Again, glass, in the shape of huge windows, puts Chalet Les Hêtres’s extraordinary location front and center with beautiful Alpine views on your morning swim. Open the French windows to step outside onto a terrace where the hot tub awaits to complete this high-altitude ultra-luxe spa experience. A quick browse of your private wine cellar should find just the bottle you need to take with you into the large private cinema room. Above the living area is the main sleeping floor. Here there are two twin/double bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms and access to terraces.

There’s also a four-bunk room (with en-suite shower room) that helps make this an excellent family property (though the bunks are easily big enough to accommodate adults). All the bedrooms are incredibly welcoming and comfortable and echo the understated and tasteful design feel that helps give Chalet Les Hêtres such a cohesive feel. The best linens will help you enjoy a wonderful night’s sleep before superb luxury bathroom products help start your day in the best way.This first floor is also the ski/in entrance, with a sizeable boot room to welcome you to the chalet.

The superb master bedroom occupies the top floor. It has its own balcony – with perhaps some of the best views in the whole resort – an en-suite bathroom with a huge separate shower and his-and-her sinks.The best hi-tech entertainment systems are on tap wherever you go. There is WiFi throughout with Apple TV on screens, and the cinema room runs an Epson projector, while Bowers & Wilkins integrated sound systems provide a soundtrack to dancing in the living room or romance in your own room.
