Last chance to book Grand Sarire

The ever popular Chalet Sarire (sleeps 10+2) and Grand Sarire (the chalet plus an additional 4 to 6 beds) only have 3 weeks left to rent this winter season. We feel that this is one of the best value luxury properties in the Espace Killy. With exceptional food and wine, attentive personal service and extremely comfortable surroundings, this chalet is hard beat.

As an added bonus, any bookings made through The Oxford Ski Company will receive one complimentary sports or relaxation massage per person during their stay.

The chalet is available on 15th January, 5th February and 15th April.

Smaller group? For smaller groups, there may be the opportunity to rent this property on a room by room basis. Please contact the chalet team on +44 1993 899 421 for more information and pricing.

“The big five” – five of the best luxury ski chalets

Below, we introduce to you a selection of five of our top luxury ski holidays. The Oxford Ski Company features luxury ski chalets and hotels throughout Europe and North America…

1. Chalet No.14, Verbier

More private boutique hotel than luxury ski chalet, this property offers extreme levels of comfort and style for large groups. The perfect destination for a corporate ski event or a large gathering of family and friends. During the peak weeks of the season the property is available to take exclusively, sleeping up to 26. During other weeks of the season you can experience long weekends or bookings on a room by room basis. More details >>

2. Chalet Gentianes, Courchevel 1850

Located in arguably one of the best positions in Courchevel 1850, this luxury ski chalet is located in the forest, directly on the piste yet only a stones throw from the very centre of the resort. Location aside, this luxury ski chalet in Courchevel 1850 offers refined levels of service and has some of the best private chalet spa facilities we have seen. More details >>

3. Chalet Marco Polo, Val d’Isere

A newcomer to the Val d’Isere luxury ski chalet scene this season, Marco Polo is the sister chalet to the already-renowned Chalet Lhotse, Le Rocher and Solyneou. Offering 750sqm of living space, this chalet has been conceived to include every facility imaginable, from a private spa, swimming pool with decks and lighting to create the most incredible pool party, down the refined levels of comfort in the bedrooms with the finest bed linen and down duvets. More details >>

4. Chalet Dent Blanche, Verbier

While Verbier is renowned for having one of the greatest densities of luxury ski chalets in Switzerland, this beautiful chalet is often overlooked by the press and reviewers. We love it. At 950sqm and sleeping up to 14 people this is a large chalet with a fantastic indoor swimming pool, massage room and spa, and with an enthusiastic team of staff to look after your every need. More details >>

5. Chalet Zermatt Peak, Zermatt

Launched for the 2010/11 season, this luxury ski chalet in Zermatt has been a huge hit with our guests. Commanding one of the best positions in Zermatt, the chalet overlooks the village and Matterhorn, and has been finished with an extraordinary level of detail. The same attention to detail is mirrored in the levels of service by your chalet manager, host, private chef and housekeeping staff. More details >>
