Introducing the recently opened Chalet Balthazar, Villars, offering luxury chalet- style accommodation with personal five star concierge. Based on site, the bi-lingual English owners are on hand to provide essential advice and make any necessary arrangements to ensure a stress free ski-break. From organising logistics of ski hire, passes and lessons to arranging skidoo rides to mountain refuges, from arranging a baby sitter, masseur or private chef, nothing is too much trouble. What’s more, their wealth of insider knowledge will help guests get the best out of their holiday.

Situated in pole position, in the heart of Villars ski resort, Chalet Balthazar is only a two minute walk to the ski train (so early risers can be first on the slopes) and just a stone’s throw from nearby shops, bars and restaurants. It offers mountain lovers a luxurious, but affordable holiday in the ultimate home-from-home environment. Comfortably furnished in chalet chic style featuring rustic wood interiors and real log fires, there are spacious balconies to enjoy the stunning mountain views and underfloor heating throughout. The ensuite bathrooms feature deep baths and power showers, designed to soothe aching muscles, while Superkingsize beds and goose feather bedding guarantee a good night’s sleep. After a hard day’s skiing, guests can relax with the latest audio visual entertainment, including 40” flat screen TVs, DVDs, Sky+, Wii, iPod docking stations and free wifi service.

Available for weekly, monthly, seasonal or yearly rental, Chalet Balthazar’s prices are very competitive and start at £1,500 per week for the larger apartments and £450 per week for smaller apartments.
