If privacy and enhanced comfort are as important to you as the skiing itself, here are five exclusive-use alpine properties that really are in a class of their own. Whether you opt for high altitude seclusion or cultivated village living, you can expect incredible interiors, stunning vistas, expert service and the sense of staying somewhere that understands what modern luxury travellers look for.
Chalet Zermatt Peak holds the title of World’s Best Ski Chalet 2025 for the sixth year running and it continues to justify the acclaim. Overlooking the village of Zermatt, this extraordinary dwelling delivers a quietly confident style of luxury. Accessed via a private tunnel, you stay across six floors with five deluxe en suite bedrooms, an indoor outdoor jacuzzi and wellness centre. Floor to ceiling glass connects the interiors to the mountains and service is delivered with a level of attention that sets the property apart.
Named the World’s Best New Ski Chalet 2025, Cabane Tortin sits high above Verbier and offers rare seclusion at 3,000 metres. Entirely off grid, yet wholly indulgent, you arrive by gondola, skis or snowmobile and step into panoramic living spaces, warm timber and a walnut lined sauna. Guided adventures begin on untouched snow and evenings are shaped by a private chef who prepares multi course menus that showcase regional ingredients.
In the Austrian Alps, Eriro offers a clean, contemporary approach to mountain hospitality. The nine suites are built in pale local wood and designed to maximise natural light. The spa is set into the hillside with pools and saunas that overlook the peaks. Dining follows a zero-waste philosophy led by local produce while the guided activities encourage you to explore the surrounding forest and alpine terrain.
Chalet Escapade in Saint Martin de Belleville gives you a refined take on classic alpine living. Vaulted ceilings, timber interiors and wide mountain views set a calm inviting mood and the private cinema and spa add an extra level of comfort. With quick access to the Trois Vallées and spacious living areas that work well for groups, the chalet offers a smooth blend of warmth and understated luxury.
Chalet Ancolie sits in the centre of Saint Nicolas de Véroce, close to the Évasion Mont Blanc ski area, and combines an elegant exclusive-use base with access to additional facilities at the nearby Armancette Hotel. Inside you will find warm timber light-filled spaces and a fire-lit living room that sets the tone for relaxed evenings. The spa with its sauna, jacuzzi and hammam elevates the experience still further and a private chef is available for tailored dinners.
