Take a little look at the winter wonders of the world - the best chalets and houses. As the popularity of skiing has grown exponentially over the past 20 years, and also when snowboarding and other winter sports also flew out, the demand for high-quality mountain holidays exploded. In fact, so falling in love with snow and ice are vacationing nations, that now they demand as much from their winter holidays as they do from luxurious Maldivian beach breaks and Caribbean Christmas holidays.
The traditional and fairly simple old chalets still exist, and the business is as good as always in this market, but the luxury business chalet is now in a league of its own. Jacuzzi and hot tubs, swimming pools, gymnasiums and spas, private balconies and bathrooms with wet water, game rooms and bedside tables come as standard in a luxury chalet these days. But there too - in fact, almost everything is possible.
Size and power
Size doesn't matter when it comes to luxury - a high-end luxury chalet can be just a few hundred square meters. It can accommodate up to ten people, another 20 or even 30. The accommodation options for skiing are in sizes. Eight hundred square meters is very large by European standards, but if you are looking for this size, the luxury chalets of American and Canadian ski resorts simply have much more space on the mountainside than in Europe! Some of them have more than 15,000 square feet of interior space and 5,000 square feet of patio and flooring (including, of course, an open fireplace, a fireplace, open air and a summer kitchen!).
Resort, even smaller resorts can now offer the real luxury of high class. The most prestigious first-class resorts in the Alps, such as Courchevel, Verbier, Zermatt and St. Moritz, can satisfy the most demanding tastes. One of the most expensive chalets in the world - Tivoli Lodge in Klosters - costs over £ 60,000 per week to rent during the New Year period.
There are companies that can make this kind of luxury a bit more affordable, although realistic. For example, companies like Scott Dunn can adapt the luxury factor to what you and your guests really need. They spend most of their time and money, making sure that nothing causes big problems and that insignificant details are not taken into account. And a high level of service and decorative talent can provide real luxury without disrupting the work of the bank. This kind of luxury is all your individual requirements and dreams for the perfect winter break, and sometimes the little things that you didn’t even think about - in the chalet-skier and boot, waiting for you on arrival ski slopes, and then things like rainforest showers or retro velvet chairs for cinemas ....
Design and decor
Design is a big deal in luxury chalets. The interior design is often inspired by the best Italian furniture or the most beautiful French art deco style - look for expensive silk curtains and pillows, thin polished and polished teak floors. But the quality design of the chalet will never forget the warm old and beloved Swiss wooden beams. All this creates an atmosphere of complete beauty for family and friends - a more luxurious yacht than a crude old school trip!
Staff and service
The staff is smart, the best chalets have the best staff - butler, concierge, driver, housekeeper, chef, special ski guides and instructors, sports therapists, babysitters, nutritionists and physiologists. They are responsible for the luxury of the details - fresh flowers, towels and linens, homemade cakes and pastries every morning, the best coffee, the best meat and fish and local seasonal products. Some companies even offered celebrity advisory services such as Tom Aikens, endless vintage circles, Norwegian nannies and Jo Malone cosmetic products.
The concierge is almost equal to the course now with luxurious chalets - a good concierge has excellent knowledge of the surrounding area and excellent contacts, so you will always know what to do and where to go. They can guarantee you the best tables in the best restaurants and bars, and the best tickets to the most # resort parties. In fact, they can be your private event organizer - planning helicopter rides or building a personal ice bar on the mountain for night skiing!
Disgust at home
Most of these luxurious chalets create the traditional old-fashioned atmosphere of escape — deaf and journal fires, mountainous aerial and snowy dawns. But the 21st century requires modern high-tech technologies. edge too. If you don’t really want to get away from it all, if you are looking for, for example, a full-service office or a business center away from home so that work never stops, then you can find the most superbly equipped offices you can imagine in a nice luxury chalet. But keeping in touch with the working world is sometimes not so bad when you can apply a hot bath for yourself, and at the end of full days skiing a glass of Laurent Perry Rose flew out.
Everything is possible
Everything is possible. the label can really refer to luxury ski chalets, and in fact things that you think are only inserted into James Bond films can really happen on a mountain somewhere in the world!
Whether it’s a baronial mansion not far from St. Moritz, with original frescoes, paneled walls and floor slabs or a modernist masterpiece in Zermatt, which can be reached by underground cableway and private tunnel, luxury chic can be easily moved a little higher, you are looking for a completely full wine cellar and walk in the humidor, carved up the hill? Or a private nightclub and sushi bar? How about a library with exotic wood panels, filled with classics from the first edition, or a 15-meter covered pool with onyx and a hammam? Believe it or not, you can rent a chalet that has everything.
Individual luxury
Most of what makes luxury real is how guests can make the rules. If you want a grand piano in your living room, it can be delivered according to your exact specifications. If you want to sleep before noon, breakfast should be ready for you when you wake up. If you want to cut the first footprints in virgin snow, when the sun rises or sets at dusk, then your boots should always be ready, warm up and wait. Whatever way you look at it, these types of ski holidays are the ones that you will cherish forever. The height of luxury on top of the world is not much better.
