Formerly the rustic home of Swiss goat-herds, the chalet has been reborn as a chic Gstaad retreat for people with exquisite good taste. If you are seeking sophistication, privacy and jaw-dropping views, no need to look any further.

The property has a full team of staff including a chalet host, private chef, housekeeper and chauffeur. Everything is in its place, and all your wishes are fulfilled in this stunning yet comfortable Alpine sanctuary. Invite up to fourteen of your closest friends and relations to share the seven en-suite bedrooms and to immerse themselves in luxury.

You just know that this place is extra special. It’s not just the big ticket items such as the plush cinema room, it’s also the attention to detail. Delicately fragranced flowers and silver candelabras sit alongside objects d’art. Every room is beautiful and light-filled, combining natural wood and stone with elegant neutral furnishings. The chalet is the epitome of contemporary refinement.

Be at one with world as you luxuriate in the huge cedar hot tub on the terrace, looking out over pine trees, down the magnificent valley. Raise a glass to toast your friends, sitting nearby on soft fur throws, as your host brings another bottle. The chalet has an extensive living room with high ceilings and a roaring fire, plus a separate sitting room, so you don’t all have to be together all the time. It has a self-contained dining room, and the kitchen/diner is the perfect place to gather for breakfast.

A whole range of extras are available, from childcare and private ski instruction to beauty treatments, massages, and Pilates. Whatever takes your fancy, from a heli-skiing adventure to lunch at the Eagle Ski Club, just ask your obliging host. The inhabitants of the original farmhouse, dating back to 1857, would be astounded at the sheer luxury of the chalet with its cinema room, sauna, gym equipment, ski room, and heavenly bathrooms. The stunning views, however, have hardly changed.
