Chalet Gelinotte, Verbier, Switzerland

Chalet Gelinotte (sleeps 8). Chalet Gelinotte is one of those typical Verbier old-house chalets which one associates with this leading Swiss resort and which so many of you love and return to year after year.  A little on the old-fashioned side, this lovely traditional, freestanding chalet provides the perfect solution for friends and families to join together and enjoy a stress-free, laid back and comfortable holiday.

Nestled harmoniously in the predominantly chalet populated area of Les Esserts, its charm lies in its lovely living room with open log fire and wood-panelled rooms. The views towards Bruson, the Petit Combin and across the valley are fabulous and can be taken in under the evening sun with a large glass of wine on the super balcony after a hard day on the slopes.  

Chalet Gelinotte is situated close to our equally lovely Chalet Oliquin and is a very easy 6/7 minutes walk to the uncrowded Savoleyres lift.  Alternatively you can take advantage of the super-efficient free bus service in Verbier which stops nearby and which will take you either down to Medran in town or up to Carrefour which provides a completely stress-free start to your day, linking into the system part-way up the mountain. Place Centrale is about 15 minutes (downhill) walk however there are a few great and hugely popular bars and restaurants closeby.

You will be warmly welcomed to The Gelinotte by one of our individually-selected chalet hosts who lives out but closeby.

​Did You Know:  The English translation of Gelinotte is "Grouse" probably most well-known for Famous Grouse Whiskey... something that may be called for after completing Verbier's legentary Tortin !

We offer our properties on a flexible catering basis therefore providing our guests with as much choice as possible when choosing a fully-catered, part-catered or self-catered chalet or apartment. Your preferences will be discussed at the time of booking and a tailor-made itinerary will be costed based on your requirements.

Our chalet hosts all enjoy cooking and take pride in what they serve and whilst they are not necessarily qualified chefs, they have good experience of dinner party cooking and many of them will have attended one of the well-regarded cookery schools with whom we work closely to ensure the highest calibre of staff possible.

If choosing the fully catered or part catered option, you will be assured of good home-cooked food prepared and served by our specially selected chalet hosts. We do not offer luxury items or haute cuisine, we serve good wholesome hearty food fit for anyone after a hard day on the slopes. Menus will be varied and may include local dishes as well as the more traditional UK favourites such as roasts, lasagne or casseroles.

Our menus have been formed over many years taking into account previous guests’ likes and recommendations and whilst we believe this plan to offer excellent variety, there will be the odd occasion when a dish might not be well-received. We would ask you therefore that if you have any specific dietary requirements or a yearning for dishes in particular, you enquire before booking your holiday and provide us with as much notice as possible regarding specific diets such as vegetarian, vegan, celiac or non-dairy etc.
