I thought my holiday would be good but I was unprepared for how brilliant I would feel by the end of the week evening standard

summary
where to stay
need to know

Famous for its fabulous skiing, the Swiss Alps are now building a reputation for fun summer adventures too.

We currently have just just two recommended places to stay in the Swiss Alps:

Sir Richard Branson's luxury Lodge in Verbier can be booked on an exclusive basis or on a per room basis, depending on the size of your group, and when you wish to travel.
The recently opened (December 2012) Alpina Gstaad is a supremely luxurious hotel with just 56 gorgeous bedrooms and suites, and a wonderful Six Senses Spa.

We can organise both winter ski trips and summer mountain adventures to both properties. Whichever you choose, you can be sure of a sensational experience.

Weather and when to go

The temperature drops off in November and snow starts falling and can continue right through to March with it rarely going above zero or below -10: perfect conditions! In the Summer it warms up hitting the high twenties and the Spring and Autumn see temperatures in the mid to high teens.

The Alpina Gstaad is the first 5 star luxury hotel to open in this pretty Swiss village for over a century. It's been worth the wait!

the lodge

swiss alps, switzerland room per night from £599

The Lodge is Sir Richard Branson’s stunning nine bedroom chalet in Verbier, one of the Alp’s most exclusive resorts and Europe’s hottest ski spots. Situated on a quiet road just 250m from the main ski lifts and backing onto one of the returning pistes, The Lodge is in a perfect location for the slopes. Also great in the summer!
