Sir Richard Branson's Luxury Ski Chalet Reopens This Winter

If you're looking for someplace to spend all the money you've saved from not traveling in 2020, look no further than The Lodge, Richard Branson's Swiss Alps private ski chalet.

The Lodge, part of the luxury collection of properties from Virgin Limited Edition will once again be re-opening its doors this December, welcoming guests back for the winter season.

Its timely re-opening coincides with the relaxation of Switzerland's quarantine conditions from almost all countries, meaning travelers no longer need to quarantine on arrival leaving plenty of opportunities to enjoy the slopes and some much-needed mountain air.

Perched high in the Swiss Alps, and complete with nine stunning bedrooms and suites, an indoor pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs and a friendly team of experienced staff including Michelin-star trained chefs, The Lodge is a true alpine paradise, ideal for the ultimate luxury ski holiday.

With the option to book The Lodge exclusively, it offers the perfect winter escape in the current climate. Exclusive use rates, of nine rooms accommodating up to eighteen guests, start from CHF 150,000 ($164,750) for a seven-night stay and are valid for arrivals from 13th December 2020 - 11th April 2021, subject to availability.

For the first time The Lodge will also be introducing new rates for smaller groups, offering the option to book up to six rooms from only CHF 110,000 ($120,800), or, up to four rooms at CHF 90,000 ($98,875) for a seven-night stay, whilst still having exclusivity of The Lodge. Stays of three or four nights will also be possible for select dates in the season.

All rates are inclusive of luxury accommodations, all meals including a light lunch for those guests not eating on the mountain, all drinks including a top-quality wine list and house champagne, a dedicated team, inclusive of a driver service within Verbier, plus all local taxes.

Ashley Walker, General Manager at The Lodge commented, "We are so excited to be re-opening our doors and welcoming our guests back for the winter season. While The Lodge has been temporarily closed, there has been an enormous amount of work behind the scenes from our team to ensure we are in the very best position to welcome back our guests with meticulous safety and hygiene measures, ensuring complete peace of mind and trust in everything we do."

"We are working closely with local authorities to ensure we are meeting all local safety regulations," continued Walker, "but Verbier will still very much be open and our beautiful lodge set at the foothills of the mountain offers the ultimate privacy with all of the extra little touches and luxuries you have come to expect from any of our Virgin Limited Edition properties."
