When I walked into Chalet Sagarmata my first impression was WOW and that really didn’t stop until I’d closed the door and left this marvellous luxury chalet behind me. The chalet has a large open plan dining and lounge area with double height ceilings and windows that provide a light, airy and spacious ambiance. It is contemporary in design yet still provides a cosy and intimate atmosphere.

I loved the unique features like the school of fish chandelier and an indoor BBQ separating the kitchen from the main living area but what really makes this room, in fact the whole chalet so special are the magnificent views. Draw back the curtains, envelop yourself in the comfort of an oversized chair and bask in a room full of light and warmth with overwhelming uninterrupted panoramic mountain vistas. It’s certainly hard to leave this room and why would you? Perhaps to ease the days’ exertions away in the equally spectacular spa area.

The chalet spa is truly sensational with a full glass fronted 25m swimming pool, providing yet more fabulous mountain views, looking out towards the ski area of Bruson on the other side of the valley. The spa also welcomes you to relax in its sauna or steam room and for those not so faint hearted a dip in the ice plunge pool will certainly leave you feeling invigorated and no doubt ready to sample the culinary delights provide by your professional chef.

After an evening shared in the company of friends and family, toasting the days’ exploits with fine wines it’s time to retire to one of the 7 en-suite bedrooms. All are beautifully designed and spacious with individually designed bathrooms and all providing yet more astonishing panoramic views. Luxury like this does come with a price tag but with a starting price of 45,630 CHF on catered chalet basis, we consider it an excellent option with outstanding service levels.

Should you wish to holiday in the most exclusive location that Verbier has to offer then head to the Sonalon district at the height of the village affording privacy and panoramic views across the resort.

Chalet Mon Izba is a fine example of a luxury chalet in Verbier. The chalet sleeps up to 12 people in 5 spacious en-suite bedrooms and provides stunning mountain vistas. This ski chalet is traditionally furnished and authentically Alpine in its design. The rooms are all spacious with high ceilings and picture windows flooding them with light.

The open plan lounge is designed in such a way that each area feels quite separate from the other. The lounge is centred on a large fireplace providing a warm and cosy place to relax, put your feet up and enjoy the simple pleasure of conversation with family and friends. Tucked slightly out of sight from the lounge is the dining table, a great space for intimate candlelit dinners that might well carry on into the early hours of the morning.

Food and wine lovers will no doubt adore the wine cellar complete with table and chairs. This really is a fabulous space to enjoy some pre-dinner nibbles and aperitif or maybe an after dinner port and cheeseboard. If chilling out and watching a movie after dinner is more your thing, then take advantage of the chalets cinema room. Add in come popcorn and you have the perfect movie night without leaving the comfort of your private home.

All 5 en-suite bedrooms are beautiful but the master suite really is something special. Who doesn’t love to snuggle down at night and fall asleep to the sound of their own crackling fireplace and then wake up to incredible mountain views seen directly from your bed. The private balcony is perfect for enjoying the first coffee of the morning whilst eyeing which ski slopes your going to head for first. The master suite also comes with walk in wardrobe and a bath with a view that will take your breath away.

When you see that chalet spa area you may well choose to take a day or two off from skiing and simply relax in the conform of your private luxury chalet. Start with an invigorating gym session, take a swim in the large swimming pool, follow this with a sauna or steam and end your day with an in house massage or even better a glass of champagne in the outdoor hot tub positioned to maximise the view.

Mon Izba is truly one of the finest and most charming ski chalets in Verbier. The chalet is available fully staffed with an experience and profession team as well as with in-resort chauffeur service from 56,800 CHF per week (food and drink cost additional).
