The Lodge Verbier : one of the Europe’s hottest ski spots !
The Lodge Verbier is Sir Richard Branson’s stunning nine bedroom chalet in Verbier, Switzerland, one of the Alp’s most exclusive resorts and Europe’s hottest ski spots. Situated on a quiet road just 250m from the main ski lifts and backing onto one of the returning pistes, The Lodge is in a perfect location for the slopes.
The highest level of attention to detail
The Lodge, Verbier is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,500m in the Valais region of south-western Switzerland – 51 miles or 82 kilometres east of Geneva as the crow flies. The Lodge is perched high in the Swiss Alps in a forested area just a five minute walk from the town of Verbier, and only 250m from the main lift station. In winter, walking in ski boots can be difficult, The Lodge Verbier offers to drop you off, and you can ski straight back home as The Lodge is on a returning ski run.
The Lodge Verbier is the perfect place for holidaying with friends and family. This picture perfect chalet sleeps up to 18 adults in seven beautifully decorated luxury bedrooms and two stunning Master Suites, all enjoying views to the valley below. An additional six children can be accommodated in the kid’s bunkroom.
Located on the top floor, both Master Suites have private balconies set against a stunning mountain backdrop – perfect for intimate dining in summer. The living areas feature beautiful centrepiece fireplaces and comfy sofas to relax on chilly evenings. Each suite comes with spacious bathrooms, including huge soaking tubs, rain showers and a range of toiletries including all the essentials you may have forgotten to pack. The Master Suites can also interconnect for families.
Facilities and activities at The Lodge
For the avid skier or snowboarder Verbier is paradise. There are five resorts spread across four valleys, all of which are tied into one single lift pass, offering you one of the largest skiable areas in the Alps – for all levels of skiers. After skiing, The Lodge offers you plenty facilities to enjoy and activities to try!
Pull off those restrictive ski boots and relax in the lounge in front of a roaring fire curled up on a comfy sofa. Or if your muscles ache, take a dip in the indoor heated pool, or warm yourself up in the indoor or outdoor Jacuzzis. Later on, tuck in to some of the exquisite dishes from our kitchen – order what you want! You can even watch The Lodge‘s chefs at work and pick up some tips while you try a few glasses of red or white from our wine cellar. Once a week you can listen or party to live music from talented local musicians.
The Lodge Verbier also has a fully equipped gym, a steam room and a party area. You can shoot some pool or dance the night away all underneath a twinkling disco ball. If you want to take it easy , you can watch a film on the large plasma screen while you enjoy a few drinks from the bar. Finally do not miss The Lodge‘s spa treatment room : after an active day on the slopes, relax and unwind with a treatment in the spa in the capable hands of the resident beauty therapist.
The Lodge itself provides a unique and fun setting: try some curling on the mini-ice rink, swim in the indoor pool, be pampered in the spa, or just relax after a day on the mountain whilst enjoying a wide selection of tailored menus and fine wines !
