The Art of the Private Alpine Escape

For those who prefer their winter escapes with privacy, space and discretion, these exceptional mountain retreats combine breathtaking Alpine scenery with extraordinary residences, impeccable service and the freedom to shape every detail of your stay.

Ultima Promenade
Gstaad, Switzerland

Few Alpine addresses capture Gstaad’s understated glamour quite like Ultima Promenade. Behind its elegant historic façade lies an extraordinary private retreat, where two generous living rooms open onto wraparound terraces and a spectacular double-height dining room sets the scene for long, leisurely evenings. The real indulgence lies downstairs: an entire floor dedicated to wellness and entertainment, with a private spa, swimming pool, cinema, games room, boutique and cigar lounge.

Ultima Megève
Megève, France

Two beautifully restored timber-and-stone chalets form Ultima Megève, surrounded by snowy pastures yet close to the pleasures of the village. Beyond its refined interiors are an underground nightclub, private cinema, wine cellar and expansive spa, while a dedicated butler, chauffeur-driven vehicle and personalised unpacking and packing service ensure every detail is handled discreetly.

Julisam
Kitzbühel Alps, Austria

Julisam offers a rare alternative to the traditional luxury hotel: an entirely private mountain estate where the pace and service are dictated by you. Tucked into the mountains between Kitzbühel and Salzburg, this retreat combines understated interiors, beautiful natural surroundings and an exceptional sense of privacy and security. There are no prescribed routines or rigid schedules; every aspect of the stay, from the pace of the day to the level of service, can be tailored entirely around the guests.

Chesa El Toula
St. Moritz, Switzerland

For those who appreciate discreet glamour, Chesa El Toula offers a beautifully considered take on the St. Moritz chalet. Across five floors and 900 square metres, traditional Engadin character is paired with Italian marble and stone and exquisite designer pieces from names including Le Corbusier, Rugiano, Casa Milano and Porta Romana. After a day on the slopes, retreat to the fireside living room and bar, and leave dinner to a private chef in the fully equipped professional kitchen.

Chalet Arte
Dolomites, Italy

For a quieter interpretation of Alpine luxury, Chalet Arte occupies a spectacular position above the valley with direct access to the ski slopes. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the dramatic Dolomite peaks, while three beautifully designed bedrooms provide an intimate base for a private winter escape. Inside, local timber and stone are juxtaposed with contemporary design, creating a warm, serene retreat that feels particularly inviting once the mountains disappear beneath the evening snow.
