About the home

Experience the chic luxury of the stunning Chalet Auriane which is open for winter skiing trips and summer escapes.

Chalet Auriane is a newly built chalet in the Verbier 4 Valleys ski system built to the highest luxury specifications in a traditional style but with a stunning contemporary interior - offering every comfort and facility to the discerning skier. A proper ski holiday should offer freedom to do what you want when you want. The real luxury with Chalet Auriane is that you have everything offered by the finest hotels without having to conform to any of their rules.

Chalet Auriane offers its guests an on piste location with easy ski-in ski-out access, a luxury leisure spa room with sauna, hammam, river shower and relaxation area including an outdoor Jacuzzi.

Chalet Auriane is fully managed by experienced full-time staff who will cater to your every need. The talented cook will produce traditional and modern cuisine for you throughout your stay according to your wishes.

The chalet has been designed by a team of architects and interior designers utilising stone, wood and steel to create a harmonious light-filled space perfect for relaxing in.

With the best view over the valley, the chalet is spread over two floors perched on the side of the mountain. Access is either by skis directly from the piste or by a small private funicular lift system which will deliver you from the road to the front door. The chalet is ski-in ski-out located just 100 m from the main ski lift, so no problems with easy access.

The outdoor jacuzzi is located immediately adjacent to the relaxation spa room containing the novel Sanarium™ sauna system which allows every combination of heat therapy from traditional sauna through tropical rain forest to steam room.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Upstairs is a stunning 90m2 open plan living room/ dining room and kitchen with floor to ceiling picture windows guaranteeing breathtaking views. The rear wall constructed from local stones engenders a feeling of calm aided by the enormous comfortable sofas. The central uniquely designed fireplace links all aspects of the room and provides a focal point while you watch the cooks prepare your meals in the impressive ultramodern kitchen with its thick matt black granite work surfaces.

The chalet sleeps up to 12 guests (8 adults and 4 children) in five good sized en suite bedrooms, including a master suite, all of which have fabulous panoramic views. The master suite has to be seen to be believed. Lie in the hand-made super king size bed and watch a film on the 42” Panasonic TV or drink a glass of champagne while sharing the oversized bath and look out over the uninterrupted views over the valley. The walk in shower is encased by a beautiful single piece of stone complemented by teak flooring. The private secluded balcony allows complete seclusion.

For families, the chalet is a haven for the little ones with a selection of games, sledges, books and endless films.

Good food and wine are two of life's richer pleasures. Throughout your stay our talented cook, who is an experienced and creative artist, will produce modern and traditional cuisine to tantalize your taste buds. The cook will frequently take account of your likes and expectations, rarely sticking to a fixed menu plan.

Toddlers and younger children are not left out. Combined with a little magic and some help from the mums, the cook will plan special menus, ensuring the little ones also enjoy wonderful food during their luxury ski holiday and at a time best suited to them.

As ever, it is up to you to set the pace and dining can be as formal or relaxed as you wish. A typical day in Chalet Auriane starts off with morning tea served in bed, followed by a hearty breakfast. While you are out skiing, a sumptuous afternoon tea is prepared and laid out for your return. In the evening, relax with some pre-dinner champagne and canapés before sitting down to a 4 course meal. After dinner, enjoy coffee and chocolates in front of the roaring log fire, discussing the highlights of the day.

The evening meals are complemented by a selection of delicious white and red wines. You also have the option of purchasing even higher quality wines from our extensive à la carte list. The collection is predominantly focused on French classified wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Languedoc, but internationally recognised local wines have also been stored in the perfect cellaring conditions.

The Swiss Alps / Valais/Swiss Alps region

La Tzoumaz is part of the huge Verbier ski area just 90 minutes from Geneva and 25 minutes from Sion airport. The chalet is positioned directly on the piste slope in a private situation with fabulous south-facing views over the resort. La Tzoumaz is located in the adjacent valley to Verbier, being just a 5 minute cable car ride away.

The resort is north facing and has one of the best snow records in the Alps enjoying a ski-season from early December all the way through to late-April and usually offering better snow conditions than Verbier itself. Moreover its weather is usually clear when Verbier tends to cloud within its bowl. The brand new 8 man gondola system is the biggest and fastest in the 4 Valleys domain with a capacity of 2200 people per hour which links it directly to Verbier and the rest of the 4 Valleys. It ensures short queues even at the busiest times.

The Verbier / La Tzoumaz area

The ski runs of La Tzoumaz, Verbier and the 4 Valleys at 1550-3300m are vast, high and varied and will take your breath away. As a resort for skiers, they are second to none. They are awesome in skiable terrain, with 410 total km. of prepared slopes, awesome in lift capacity with 96 different means of uphill transportation and awesome in downright challenge.

However, it is suitable for all levels of skiers. There is adequate space for beginners with the nursery slope located close to the chalet. Almost immediately, first time skiers can get the feel of some high altitude skiing in a safe and sound environment.

Intermediate skiers will find the skiing on the Savoleyres slopes, close to the chalet, a dream. The wide smooth blue and red pistes are where Verbier’s ski instructors come to spend their days off. At the end of a hard day’s skiing you will wind your way through pine forests right to the door of the chalet. For better skiers, Verbier really comes into its own. Highlighted by Mont Fort at over 3,000m, with a near vertical descent onto the glacier (allowing summer skiing here as well), Verbier offers challenge and variety in just about every nook and cranny. Bumps, powder, unpisted and untested, it's all within the borders of this vast ski domain. There are a huge number of really challenging runs ensuring it is known by expert skiers far and wide, as one of the most difficult skiing resorts anywhere. For the advanced skier who wants a challenge try the mogul runs and the descents of Tortin and Col de Mines.

This is high-mountain skiing at its best. If you are a top-flight skier, you should find all the action you want on La Tzoumaz and Verbier's prepared slopes. However, if you still wish for more, the entire 4 Valley system beckons, allowing you to ski over to the slopes of Nendaz, Veysonnaz and even Thyon in the adjacent valleys. What's more, you can come back on the same day, on skis.

If this isn’t enough and you are still after more action, the resort also possesses the longest floodlit sledge run in Western Switzerland (at 11 kilometres) which passes by the chalet’s back-door. The resort is popular with families, having a small ski lift for children, a natural ice rink, and a heated swimming pool.
