Early Season Visit to Verbier

Having just returned from a long weekend in Verbier I can categorically say that the resort is up and running and has a solid snow base to build another great season on. Although the recent snowfall has provided enough to ski on in most areas of the four valleys it has not been able to match the epic levels experienced at the beginning of last season. Consequently there are still some chalets available for the Christmas week. These chalets offer excellent levels of service and great value at substantially reduced prices (up to 40% off in some cases!!).

Pierre Avoi, (sleeps 12 +2), Verbier. 26,500 CHF (reduced from 46,500 CHF)

Amadouvier, (sleeps 10 +2), Verbier 19,200 (CHF reduced from 32000 CHF)

Ever thought of renting a property for the whole winter season?

A Super Luxury Dragon’s Den

Hidden Dragon (Sleeps 12 – very comfortably) “ski in ski out”.

Resort: Veysonnaz, near Verbier, Switzerland

Hidden Dragon is undoubtedly one of the most exclusive, private, Alpine lodges in the heart of Switzerland’s dynamic 4 Valley ski region. Nestled in a forest, above the village of Veysonnaz, this secluded mountain retreat is discreetly located in its own extensive grounds accessed by private road. Perched at 1,500m, this year-round hide-away offers uninterrupted panoramic views over the Rhone Valley. Idyllic throughout the seasons, Hidden Dragon offers skiers and non-skiers the ultimate Alpine get-away as it is only 15 minutes drive from Sion’s private heliport and airport. Using ancient Feng Shui and Shinto principles, Hidden Dragon was built with escape in mind.

Hidden Dragon offers four floors of spacious Alpine-chic living, harmoniously fusing antiques with contemporary pieces. All six en-suite, guest bedrooms offer luxurious comfort, while the multiple stylish living quarters, including a professional sound-proofed cinema, ensure maximum guest indulgence.

Guests are encouraged to handpick wines to accompany their evening feast from the state-of-the-art extensive wine cellar, and to enjoy the wraparound balcony for sunset cocktails and star-gazing through the vintage telescope. Winter guests benefit from skiing in and out of the elegant ‘Gentlemen’s Club’ style, ski-room complete with guests’ very own après-ski bar. Just seconds to the slopes, guests have easy access to one of the most dynamic ski regions in Europe, reaching the top of Mont Fort and its infamous off-piste trails in no time at all.

After skiing guests return to a haven of luxurious pampering – with a hammam, sauna, hot-tub, meditation room, yoga deck, rain showers, and massage therapy all on offer to soothe aching limbs.

Summary of Recent Alpine Visit

The resorts we visited were Morzine, Les Gets, Megeve, Chamonix, Verbier and Veysonnaz. We very equally impressed by the quality of the chalets as we were by the beautiful sunny Alpine Summer which is not to be missed!

The feedback from various mountain authorities was also very exciting with improvements planned for many of the lift networks and even more detail being put in to the service you receive when going on holiday.
