Comprising an exquisite collection of private chalets in Verbier, Gstaad, Crans-Montana, St. Anton, Lech and Tignes, Bramble Ski is pleased to reveal its three newest offerings: The Backstage Loft and Chalet Shalimar in Zermatt, Switzerland and Ma Datcha in Megeve, France.

Between them, these properties boast a wealth of exceptional facilities for an ultra-indulgent alpine break, including hot tubs, gyms, hammams, saunas, an outdoor heated pool and private cinema.

With the two new resorts on its books, Bramble Ski’s renowned service is now even further reaching across the Alps. As with all Bramble Ski properties, flawless service is paramount and each chalet is staffed by a team of professionals who are the very best in their field. Daily housekeeping, a concierge service before and during the stay and two days of private ski instruction with Bramble’s innovative ski-instructor-concierge come as standard with all catered bookings.

The Backstage Loft, Zermatt
This spectacular chalet takes the concept of a typical alpine property and turns it on its head. The brainchild of acclaimed architect and designer Heinz Julien, The Backstage Loft is a blend of clean, contemporary lines, floor-to-ceiling glass and modern furnishings — a striking contrast to other historic wooden chalets found in the area.

Sleeping 10 in five stylishly adorned bedrooms, the chalet boasts an indoor hot tub with views of the Matterhorn, a cinema room, gym, sauna, hammam and a dining table that can be winched up onto the ceiling after dinner. The impressive hot tub is located to the side of the main living room and encased in four glass walls, one of which will swing open at the touch of a button, magically transforming the indoor hot tub into an outdoor one.

The chalet has spectacular views of the iconic Matterhorn and is just a two minute stroll from Klein Matterhorn lift station and three from Central Church Square. Nestled on the edge of the river this alpine abode could not be better placed.

Chalet Shalimar, Zermatt
With arguably some of the best views of the Matterhorn in Zermatt visible from Chalet Shalimar’s expansive balconies, this property matches the prestige and natural beauty of its surroundings with comfort, space and style.

This traditional chalet provides alpine charm and a homely atmosphere in an enviable location, with ski-to-the-door access and the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise gondola only a 10 minute stroll away. When not enjoying the slopes, guests can indulge in the wellness and spa area in Chalet Shalimar at the heart of the property, with a sauna, hammam, massage suite and an indoor pool affording spectacular views of the snowy surroundings.

The property can even be divided into two separate apartments made up of four bedrooms and six bedrooms, each with separate living spaces and facilities for those who wanting to strike the right balance between privacy and the convenience of close-proximity.

Ma Datcha, Megeve
One of the most sought after addresses in this French resort and Bramble Ski’s first Megeve property, this ultra-lux chalet sleeps 14 in seven bedrooms and is located a short stroll from the town centre and the Rochbrune gondola.

The lush, private gardens that surround the exclusive property boast a large, outdoor heated pool and heat hot tub. If guests fancy entertaining indoors they can enjoy the cosy and contemporary sitting room, where the collection of American vintage art that adorns the walls will provide a sophisticated atmosphere as well an excellent conversation starter.
