House of the Week | An Exceptional Chalet in Verbier, Switzerland

This week’s pick is an international beauty. Ideally situated in the Swiss Alps region of Verbier, outdoor enthusiasts will love the world-renowned skiing in the winter and endless mountain biking trails in the summer months. Hiking is another popular pastime, with breathtaking scenery and miles of trails a short gondola ride away. And if that’s not enough to convince you to invest in Verbier, scrumptious local cuisine featuring Swiss cheeses and cured meats serves as another draw.

The sprawling property pairs the charm of a traditional chalet with understated luxury. Nestled among fir, pine, and spruce trees the chalet boasts stunning mountain views.

The living room ambiance is warm and inviting thanks to the stone fireplace focal point and plush seating options. Access to the wrap around balcony can also be reached through this part of the home.

It can be a struggle to balance traditional mountain elements (i.e. lots of knotted wood, exposed wood beams, etc.) without it feeling too heavy and rustic in a space like the kitchen. The design for this kitchen is ideal in achieving that luxurious retreat vibe. High wood beamed ceilings are complemented by matching wood cabinetry and trim. Sleek stainless steel appliances, contemporary light fixtures (notice how lighting elements are even integrated along the ceiling), and coordinating stone floor and countertop materials elevate the overall look.

The simplicity of the bedroom allows the alpine view to be the vocal point. There are 12 bedrooms in total at the property, enough to sleep 27 according to the listing.

The previous owner thought of everything when it comes to entertainment. Kids will be delighted by the performance stage (complete with curtains) and play area while adults indulge at the wet bar. Not a bad place to be snowed in at or to unwind après-ski with so many options for enjoyment indoors.

Speaking of après-ski, it would be an oversight not to mention the well crafted ski room for storing winter gear. As a home in close proximity to world-class skiing, this feature is not only a luxury but a necessity.

Many Pinterest-worthy dining experiences await on the terrace. The Swiss chalet charm is especially evident outdoors where we see the traditional wood carving along the baluster. The oversized space looking out over the natural surround makes an ideal lounge space throughout the year.

Just across the property from the primary residence, the guest chalet is warm and inviting with its own kitchen, dining area, and living space. A perfect retreat for those looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the main house.
