Cordée des Alpes
Chic Alpine lodge boutique
Close to the buzzy après-ski heart of Verbier, this 32-key outpost occupying two floors of a traditional all-wood lodge offers a gamut of top-notch comforts paired to a discerning interior design befitting its Alpine locale – think vintage climbing gear as decor and sumptuous aged woods that give a rugged edge to the cosseting spaces. Summertime playground that it is, the region’s four valleys truly come alive with the winter snow – peppered with restaurants throughout the 410 kilometres of slopes (serviced by 90 lifts), pistes good for skiers and boarders alike plus the thrill of heliskiing and ice climbing are both possible – a cornucopia of options made easy by the hotel’s own “ski man” on hand to prep your equipment and make a recommendation or two.
