10 Amazing Luxury Ski Chalets in the Alps

We had a quick chat with The Luxury Chalet Company about a scattering of super chalets which offer money-no-object skiing in the most exclusive resorts in the Alps – some costing over £100,000 a pop for a week’s stay in peak season, with no mountain too high if you want to make your trip even more spectacular. 

Private swimming pools and bottomless champagne come as standard and chalet staff include gourmet chefs, private chauffeurs and a concierge to grant every wish, however weird and wonderful... Fancy a Mexican mountain party with a live mariachi band, Prada-filled piñata, fireworks forming the national flag and jeroboams of your favourite tequila? No problemo! 

Introducing ten of the most luxurious ski chalets in the Alps. Secure a spot on the rich list and here’s where you could stay…

Chalet Kalinka, Meribel, France 

Chalet Kalinka is a luxurious six-bedroom ski retreat in the heart of Méribel, with an extensive range of wellness and entertainment facilities. For ultimate convenience, an internal lift provides access to all floors.

The expansive open-plan living area is set around a striking 360-degree fireplace. Vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows create a light-filled space with breathtaking mountain views, plus a 600-bottle wine cellar caters to those looking to elevate their dining experience.

The outstanding wellness facilities include an indoor heated pool, a cold-water plunge bath, Himalayan salt sauna and steam room plus a private massage room. For entertainment, the games room features a table football and darts setup, while a beautifully crafted billiards table is located in the main living area. As the evening winds down, guests can enjoy movie nights with the chalet’s cinema projector, complete with a stylish bar area for refreshments.

The chalet’s six beautifully designed bedrooms provide a restful retreat, each featuring ensuite facilities. Five spacious double bedrooms accommodate up to 10 adults, with two of them offering flexible twin configurations. One bedroom is also designed to be disability-friendly. The master suite, located on the top floor, stands out with its vaulted ceilings and an elegant freestanding copper bath. A charming children’s quad bunk bedroom (sleeps four) with an additional single bed ensures a comfortable and fun setting for younger guests.

Price: From £21,400 for 7 nights, sleeps 10-15 

Truffe Blanche, Verbier, Switzerland

You’d be forgiven for thinking this chalet is a boutique hotel because when it comes to interiors, Truffe Blanche is spectacular. While most chalets are all timber and neutral tones, this one mixes your usual mountain materials with 17th-century style furnishings, decadent Italian silk wallpaper, elaborate wood carvings, huge antique art pieces and an art deco library.

The largest private chalet in Verbier, there’s a spa floor with a hammam, sauna and stunning onyx swimming pool, finished off with grand pillars, ornate railings… And that modern chalet spa essential, a vodka bar. 

There’s also an entertainment floor with a cinema, billiard room, grand piano, sushi bar… And a private nightclub with DJ set and karaoke. 

Price: From £120,200 for 7 nights, sleeps 18 

Chalet Les Anges, Zermatt, Switzerland

An award-winningly idyllic retreat, Les Anges won the title of the World Ski Awards ‘World’s Best Ski Chalet 2019’. 

Its three, lift-served floors feature reclaimed timber and picture windows looking out over Zermatt, with six out of the seven bedrooms having Matterhorn views. 

The living room is contemporary, calming and cosy with a crackling open fire and – the latest chalet must-have - a grand piano. An incredible indoor spa includes a sauna, steam room, massage room and relaxation area decked in cool marble. 

If you venture outdoors, you’ll find a black granite power jet plunge pool. On a clear night it’ll give you the swim of a lifetime under starry skies. 

Price: From £50,800 for 7 nights, sleeps 14 

Marco Polo, Val d’Isere, France

Marco Polo has won the World Ski Awards prize for ‘France’s Best Ski Chalet’ on numerous occasions, and if there was an award for most awesome chalet facilities we’re positive it would get that too. One of the biggest chalets in the Alps, it offers two bars, a wine cave, a fromagerie and a decadent dining room (there are also al-fresco and subterranean dining areas if guests fancy a change of scene…). And that’s just the food and wine side of things!

The first floor is a relaxation zone, with essentials like a Jacuzzi, hammam and a jet stream pool (tiled in 24-carat gold leaf, with a drop-down projector screen). There are treatment and massage rooms where the chalet’s in-house therapist can provide all sorts of wellness rituals whenever guests demand them. If you fancy a pool party, the area also has lasers, smoke machines and a DJ booth.  

Then there’s the basement floor which is focused on fun – besides a pool table and darts board, it has a biathlon laser shooting game and an über cool racing track (kind of like a supercharged Scalextric). There’s a gym here too (if you find working out fun…) and an indoor garden. 

Price: From £51,000 for 7 nights, sleeps 10 adults & 4 children

überHaus, Oberlech, Austria

Switzerland and France have long held the market share for luxury chalets, but Austria’s edging its way in. Chalet überHaus - up in the satellite village of Oberlech above Lech - is a perfect example. 

Kitted out with an outdoor hot tub, sauna, gym and massage and treatment room – with robes and slippers given for guests to lounge around in - this one’s wellness offerings are exemplary.
