esterez: Chalet Bella Coola Verbier, Swiss Alps, Switzerland

The ultimate private ski chalet is waiting at Bella Coola. Set in the heart of Verbier, this five-bedroom property is just a few minutes’ walk from shopping, dining and cable cars.

Its thoughtful interiors feature handpicked antiques alongside modern amenities like a spa and swimming pool. And this luxury vacation rental is available on a self-catered or fully catered basis, so you can choose the perfect vacation for your friends and family.

Self-catered stays at Bella Coola include daily housekeeping, while fully catered holidays include the services of a chalet manager, staff, driver and chef at breakfast, dinner and an après-ski snack session. Take in the mountain air—and views—from the terrace, or indulge in a glass of bubbly at the champagne bar after a day on the slopes. The lavish spa and wellness area, with its hammam and indoor pool, is just what’s needed after a day of challenging ski runs. Wi-Fi is available throughout the villa, and a central music server lets you play favorite albums in every room.

The property’s cozy, traditional interiors are spread out over four stories and linked by an elevator. Warm wood paneling and vaulted ceilings evoke the historic chalets of the Swiss Alps, as do carefully selected antique furnishings. The heart of the home is an inviting open-plan living space with a sitting area laid out around a fireplace, a formal dining area and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen.

The charm continues in the five bedrooms at Bella Coola, many of which have wood-paneled ceilings, four-poster beds and vintage photography from the Alps, and all of which have en-suite bathrooms. The master suite has a king bed and its own balcony looking out to the mountains, and the other four bedrooms have double beds. One of the double bedrooms has its own kitchenette and private terrace, and could be used as a honeymoon suite or in-law retreat.

Known for its thrilling off-piste skiing and glamorous nightlife, Verbier is one of the world’s best ski resorts—and Bella Coola is one of the finest villas in Verbier. The chalet is less than a 15-minute walk from three different cable cars, and less than a 10-minute walk from shopping, dining and après-ski entertainment in the Verbier village center. In the off-season, tee off against a stunning backdrop at Golf Club de Verbier, less than a mile from the villa.
