Introducing Chalet Norte

We’d like to present the next big thing – Chalet Norte. Being one of the best Chalets in Verbier and certainly one of the best in the whole of the Alps, it’s no surprise that we were blown away by this incredible property. No expense has been spared in creating such a beautiful Chalet, with the smallest of details creating the biggest of impacts. Chalet Norte has many things to boast about, but to name a few we’ll start with the enviable position – the view over Verbier is a real sight to behold when you pull back the curtain. Second would be the spa, with the pool just tempting you in with one look and the third would be the sophisticated and elegant living space, with the double height aspect creating a feeling of space, light and above all, luxury.

Your stay at Chalet Norte will leave you in a state of pure calm, where you have been looked after to the highest standard and everything you could want has been taken care of. This Chalet will not disappoint and is a real contender for a place at the top of our favourites list.
