Skyfall Penthouse, St. Christoph

Description

Every now and again you stumble across a real hidden gem in the world of luxury ski chalets, and Skyfall is one of them – the very embodiment of luxury and so exclusive it’s the first chalet to be built in St. Christoph for 50 years.

Only the highest standards have been used when designing the fabulous interiors. Antique wood and beautiful stone are softened by sumptuous soft-furnishings and one-off pieces of furniture that give Skyfall its eclectic character.

Uniquely set into the mountainside, Skyfall Penthouse occupies the top two floors of this traditional building, so returning skiers can simply glide back to the property from the slope.

The living room is an open and sociable space, perfect for lounging in with friends and family. There is ample space for everyone to kick back in comfort. Next to this, a dining room with a long, refectory-style table creates the perfect setting for enjoying food and fun, fuelled by excellent house wines and innovative menus created by your private chef. There’s also a spacious eat-in kitchen for less formal meals and an impressive cinema room where you can lose yourselves in a film.

Upstairs, beautiful bedrooms in muted shades with throws and cushions piled high on oh-so-comfortable beds are a welcome retreat at the end of a tough day’s skiing and socialising. As you’d expect, bedrooms and bathrooms are all finished to five-star hotel standards, yet you can enjoy all the quiet and privacy that a private apartment has to offer.

As a guest at Skyfall Penthouse, you’re at liberty to make use of the facilities at the nearby Alberg Hospiz Hotel, a 5 minute stroll away, which include a full spa with a swimming pool, gym, five themed restaurants, as well as childcare (an additional charge).

Top-notch service is one of the cornerstones at Skyfall Penthouse. Your dedicated chalet team are on hand to ensure everything is exactly how you want it, from sourcing the perfect nanny to serving you the perfect cocktail. All you’ll need to decide is whether you want that drink shaken or stirred.

Eating

Each morning, you’ll wake to the aroma of a cooked breakfast being prepared. For those who prefer a lighter option there is also local yoghurt, muesli, cereals and freshly baked bread with jams. Whatever you choose, you’ll be well set up for a morning’s skiing. On your return, afternoon tea is served, with tea and coffee and home-baked treats to warm you through.

There’s just enough time to unwind in the spa area or take in a film before Champagne and canapés are served. You’ll then gather in the dining room for a four-course feast all accompanied by hand-selected wines. Beer, a complimentary drinks tray with three bottles of spirits and soft drinks are also available.

For little ones, your chef will be happy to prepare an earlier children’s tea at a time to suit them.

On one evening, you’re free to explore the gastronomic delights of St. Christoph. As a guest of Skyfall Penthouse, you’re welcome to dine at the Alberg Hospiz Hotel, a 5 minute stroll away, with five distinct and unique restaurants each with a different theme. Your host will be delighted to make recommendations and bookings.
