Dramatic in the day time but cosy at night, the living area is dominated by a huge fireplace constructed out of stone helicoptered down from the mountain – perfect for settling down after a hard days skiing or hiking in front of a log fire with a glass of wine. Alternatively , jump into the hot tub for an outside perspective.

The raised dining area also enjoys the views . It consists of a solid oak dining table for 12 and a bespoke kitchen hand built out of reclaimed old wood which looks down onto the living area and through the double height windows to the valley below.

The Swiss Alps / Valais/Swiss Alps region

The Swiss Alps offer fantastic holidays and plenty to do in summer as well as winter.
Apart from world class skiing , the Valais region has a Mediterranean climate in summer and benefits from 300 days sunshine per year. Lake Geneva is 45 minutes away ; for a cultural tour Martigny offers the Pierre Giadda Foundation with its Roman Museum; at the other extreme for the children there is Happyland , Switzerlands largest theme park 30 minutes away ; Waterworld is fun for all and there is a superb golf course at Crans Montana 30 minutes from the chalet .

The Nendaz / Haute Nendaz area

Haute Nendaz is a year round resort with plenty to see and do in summer as well as winter.

It is at the centre of the Four Valleys ski area , one of only seven ski areas worldwide to hold 5 stars of excellence. There are 412km of pistes and 92 lifts giving access to snow parks for children; steady pisted skiing amongst trees with stops at gorgeous characterful mountain restaurants through to extensive off piste - there is something for everyone .
The 4 Valleys traditionally benefit from good snow due to their height and Nendaz further benefits from reliable snow because it is north facing .The first cable up from Nendaz rises to Tracouet at 2200m which houses a superb children's snow park area. There is a large restaurant at Tracouet and adult skiing is available directly from here across the whole resort which has a huge range of slopes and restaurants for everyone. Heading to the highest point of the ski area, one climbs to Mont Fort at 3300m ( 4th picture) from which it is possible to ski off into the back bowl for conditions as challenging off piste as the most hardened skier could wish for.

The region benefits from 300 days sunshine every year and as well as the activities in The Valais region , Haute Nendaz offers a multitude of activities from 250 km of mapped hiking trails and 98 km along the bisses water tributaries to the Rhine below , 200 km of mountain bike trails ; canyoning ; paragliding; kickboarding ; swimming , tennis , spas, through a packed schedule of activities as helpfully set out on the www.nendaz.ch website. Nendaz is large enough to offer a full choice of restaurants apres ski , shops and sports , but small enough to retain a family friendly resort charm.

Nendaz benefits from exceptionally quick transfer times from airports
- it is a 20 min drive from Sion airport which is serviced by Snowjet from Stanstead
- it is a 90 min drive from Geneva which is serviced by Easyjet and BA , Swiss Air etc
Car hire is easily booked from both locations
Trains to Sion take around 60 mins and taxis are available up the mountain but are rather expensive - we advise car hire
There is a gentle 500m ski in to the chalet across a meadow and a 500 m walk to the edge of the piste in the morning or a 3 minute drive to the lift station car park where there are always plenty of spaces

“Chalet Wildhorn, Nendaz - a wonderful holiday experience” We have just returned from a week away at Chalet Wildhorn in Haute-Nendaz, Switzerland, where we celebrated my 40th Birthday with a group of invited friends. The chalet sleeps 12 comfortably with 6 ensuite double rooms. The open plan living/dining areas are true to the website pictures, and allow guests not only the opportunity to take in the most magnificent view, but also an opportunity to socialise without anyone feeling excluded, especially whilst preparing meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nicely appointed and the family room is good if you have children in the group. The open plan fire place in the lounge is also great for post ski day warm up, and post dinner drinks, but beware the price of wood when purchased from the local supermarkets. Speaking of local supermarkets, these are well stocked and offer a good range of products. We arranged to bring our own chalet hosts (both chefs by training), and both were very impressed by the range and quality of the kitchen appliances. The chalet is located above the village, and although not the easiest assess route, once we had mastered the art of putting on snow chains (a must), we did not have any problems with getting in or out of the driveway. I think one must appreciate that in Winter this is always going to be something to take into account (especially after some of the heaviest snowfalls since the 60's). The resort itself favours the more seasoned skier, with very little available for the novice. That said we had 6 first time/ newby skiers in our group. All took advantage of the lessons available through the ski schools, and by the end of the week had mastered the blue runs in the area. We also ventured to Thyon and Siviez during the week. Siviez a must see on a clear day. We took the lifts all the way up to the top of Mont Fort and it was stunning. The black and red runs in this area are definitely for the experienced skier. Our more seasoned skiers also took advantage of the ski in/ ski out from the chalet. We did not venture out in the evenings, but the resort does have a number of restaurants and bars/clubs. You can walk to and from the chalet into town, although this is about a 30 minute uphill return journey. In summary, this will be a holiday that our group will talk about for many years to come. Besides the non stop banter within the group, what also made the whole experience unforgettable was the location and the accommodation.

“Luxury well thought out chalet with awesome views.” We rented this chalet as 6 couples in March 2011. Every couple had an awesome room. The scale & layout of the communal areas is fantastic - this is exactly the kind of chalet you would want to own!... more

“Outstanding luxury ski chalet” Chalet Wildhorn is perched high on a steep hillside, with a triple-storey picture window giving a breathtaking view over the valley below. The main living area, comprising an enormous lounge area and a mezzanine kitchen and dining area has a stunning interior design, with high ceilings with massive wooden beams and floors in polished wood and natural stone, complemented by interesting rugs. The centrepiece is a superb stone fireplace with a ventilation system that ensures a roaring open fire. The bedrooms have beds with top-quality matresses and stylish soft furnishings, while the en-suite bathrooms continue the modern wood and stone design theme. The ski slopes are a five minute walk away for skiers of intermediate ability and upwards - alternatively the main ski lift is three minutes drive away. I can't wait to go back!

“Great Chalet - can ski even in late March” We and another family stayed here at the end of the British Easter school holidays. Ample space for four adults and the five children between us. Once you have found the place (tricky - get *exact* instructions or you'll end up wasting half an hour as we did) the place is spectacular. The view across the valley: stunning. The beds and bathrooms: exquisite. The comforts, wifi and UK Sky TV: ideal. There was even a spare TV where we could plug in and link the kids' Xbox! Booking the recomended catered dinner is definitely worth it for a few nights. As it was end of season we had to drive ten mins up the mountain to get to the nearest lift to skiable snow. We are not experienced skiers so can't really comment on the slopes but we had a great time at Chalet Wildhorn.

Apologies that Swiss labour costs are so high but they are very helpful and efficient.
