Let’s start with the location. It’s tucked away down a quiet road but just a stone’s throw from the main Medran cable car up the mountain, and only about 5 or 6 minutes walk from the restaurants, bars and boutiques of Verbier. Although, you can expect 24-hour minibus service at your beck and call. Snow permitting, you can also ski back down the mountain directly to the chalet at the end of the day.

The chalet itself has a cool and contemporary interior design with subdued tones and splashes of color rather than the traditional wooden-clad style. You’ll find a spacious living space which includes an open plan kitchen area so you can see the culinary-maestros at work.

Everything has been thought of and perfected at the chalet, with meticulous attention to detail that would shame some of the world’s finest hotels. The team of staff are young and friendly, but always totally professional. Although the chalet has the look of a slick boutique hotel, the atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, giving a home-from-home feel.

In terms of facilities, there is little that chalet Melinda does not have. You’ll find an indoor pool, steam room, spa treatment room, indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis, gym, party room, games room, cinema…the list goes on.
