ELITE MOUNTAIN APARTMENT WITH OUTDOOR JACUZZI

12 guests|1 bedroom|5 bathrooms

A wind of freedom is blowing on Verbier, a resort at the heart of the Four Valleys, up in the Swiss Alps. Outdoor lovers ski the steep downhill runs of Attelas, Mont Gelé and Mont Fort. Daredevils venture out of the trails, as the whole area is a freeride capital, home to sport competitions such as Xtrême Verbier and the Patrouille des Glaciers. Regulars kindly initiate new comers to the exhilarating sensation of gliding on snow. These enthusiasts may then take a well-deserved rest in this apartment, whose renowned architect evidently knows all about living in the mountains. Fur rugs and finely crafted furniture nod to alpine traditions. The burning fire in the exposed stone hearth and the warm hues of the woodworks pleasantly contrast with the invigorating cold of winter. Outside, the wrap-around balcony seems to be floating in the clouds over the Val de Bagnes, coating itself with the hot tub steam and the sunset haze. Inside, comfort meets conviviality, from lounging in the sauna and hammam to gathering in the vast main room, cooking gourmet meals in the open-plan kitchen, conversing with guests around the large dining table or unwinding in the club chairs while watching a film out of the inexhaustible DVD collection of the house. After dark, adults and children may fall into a deep sleep in one of the four intimate, muted double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom or shower room, or in the twin bunk bedroom.
