Chalet Bella Coola, Verbier

Can you keep a secret? Because the sublime loveliness of Chalet Bella Coola is worth guarding jealously, as your own hush-hush Verbier discovery.

This luxury ski chalet just oozes sophisticated style and cosy chic, from its warming log fires to its eclectic antique pieces and fur throws. And the service feels like an all-enveloping cloak of luxury. Everything you could ask for can be provided by the attentive Chalet Bella Coola staff, from meals to chauffeured transport to childcare.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, there’s a delightful surprise. Heavy, intricately carved Indian doors creak open to reveal the heavenly private spa and is reason alone to visit this wonderful luxury chalet in Verbier. Like a Maharajah’s palace it has a large pool, a Hammam, and a bar area. Simply let the Bella Coola staff know when you wish to use the spa and it will be prepared.

Surrounded by rare and precious antiques, nourished with gourmet cuisine and the finest of wines, you could easily forget about the skiing. However, the stunning panoramic views of Verbier’s snowy peaks are a constant reminder.

Chalet Bella Coola is equipped with the latest high tech gadgets, including a Crestron network entertainment system and Apple and Sky TV. And just wait until you see the bar: a quirky 3D model of the mountain ski scene, encased in a clear glass box. Trace the exploits of the day as you nurse a chilled glass of champagne.

The open plan living room and bar is perfect for parties, and the extra touches such as fresh flowers, and the swish internal elevator take this luxury chalet to the highest level of perfection.
