Luxurious Ski Chalets To Visit This Winter
For those who want to combine skiing with some luxury and comfort, the right ski chalet can make all the difference. Whether you’re looking for breathtaking views, top-notch amenities, or impeccable service, these luxury ski chalets are guaranteed to elevate your winter holiday. Here are some of the best destinations to consider this winter.
The Arula Chalets, Austria
The Arula Chalets are two unique luxury chalets in the middle of the spectacular Arlberg mountain scenery. The team of butlers, the concierge service, plus chefs, housekeepers, drivers, and therapists will look after you and your loved ones, so you can expect plenty of pampering. The remarkable interiors of both chalets were done by London-based Afs Mehrai and Amy Mercer, who work together under the label 2 AM design. With a graffiti wall, a self-playing Steinway Piano, a secret door hidden in a bookshelf, as well as a casino table, shuffleboard and a private ice rink, you don’t have to leave the chalets for entertainment. Located on the slopes in winter and embedded into the green fields in summer, the Arula Chalets are perfectly integrated into the Austrian mountain landscape of Lech.

Heinz Julen Loft, Switzerland
A Manhattan-style loft property, Heinz Julen Loft was the personal home of famous local architect Heinz Julen and where he threw some of his most legendary parties. Hosting is one use for this six-person chalet, or else it’s just the ideal place to come and chill out after a day on the slopes with its far-reaching views. The living area boasts a table that raises and lowers from the coffee table to the dining table, which is pretty James Bond-coded. And this is probably where Bond would want to reside. Luxury-loving Roger Moore Bond, that is.
