Hotels are familiar, and often, that's the appeal. Concierge desks, turndown service, and a spa on the lower level. But the magic of the mountains deserves something a little less expected. Something more personal.
There was a time when luxury meant monogrammed slippers, gleaming lobbies, and a breakfast buffet that stretched across continents. But in the hospitality world, a quiet shift is happening. More and more, the discerning adventurer is seeking something else entirely: space, connection, and authenticity. This is where the chalet comes into its own.
Live alpine authenticity at Chalet Foxden in Chamonix - ask us in advance for ski passes and have them waiting for you upon arrival
A hotel hosts you. Our ski chalets invite you to live like a local. The Alps are our mountains, the ones we ski, hike, and call home. And our local teams are part of the landscape. We know which hidden trail to take after a fresh snowfall, and the vintners whose bottles never reach a supermarket shelf.
With amenities you don't have to share and the space to truly unwind, your time in the Alps becomes more than a holiday. It's the authentic Alpine experience for those who feel at home here.
Book a local private chef with us during your stay at Chalet Savanna in Les Gets
Unlike hotels, where privacy is a corridor away, a chalet offers space to simply be. To gather around the fire after a day on the slopes. To share stories over a bottle of wine. To let your gear dry without dodging housekeeping carts. Our properties are thoughtfully curated sanctuaries, made for living, not just staying.
Dry your gear in Chalet Betula’s private ski room in Saint-Gervais, before a soak in the jacuzzi
Prefer the ease of a spa or a chef? You can have both, without the fixed hours or formalities. From in-chalet massages and private dining to daily cleaning and ski equipment delivered to your door, our à la carte services flow around your schedule, not the other way around. No knock at the door, just as you're settling in. Just seamless, tailored comfort.
Airport transfer? Massage? Ski lessons? We make it happen - Chalet La Cabane in Les Carroz
Wherever you go in the Alps, hotel rooms tend to blur together. Our chalets don't. Each one is anchored in its surroundings through local materials, intelligent design, and a commitment to the land, supporting the region as much as it showcases it. This isn't just another stay, it's a way to feel rooted in the landscape, even if only for a few days.
Make memories that last at Chalet Kerasia in Morzine
Choosing a chalet isn't about turning your back on comfort. It's about redefining it. More freedom, more intimacy, and more room to make the experience your own.
This ski season, explore the Alps the way they were meant to be lived: at your own pace, in your own space, with Emerald Stay.
