Overview: chalet description: Chalet Nyumba description

If there was such a thing as the fairytale mountain hideaway, Chalet Nyumba would be it. Meaning “home” in Swahili, Nyumba is perched high above the village, with incredible views.

Nestled in a private corner of the exclusive Sonalon area in the heights of Verbier, Chalet Nyumba was completed in 2009. This beautiful 550 sqm chalet boasts a magnificent spa, finished in Italian marble. Sliding glass doors open up to the commanding views across the valley and the mountains beyond.

The main living room has a dramatic double height ceiling and is furnished with worn leather sofas and distressed wooden furniture. There is a stylish mix of alpine detailing, African artwork and carvings. In the cinema room there’s a projector screen and with access to a library of films; and if all that isn’t enough to keep the children entertained, there is also a games room with a pool table.

A proportion of the holiday price goes to the UK-registered “Give a Future Foundation”, which supports a variety of education projects for orphans and vulnerable children in Ethiopia.

Families: Chalet Nyumba for children

We understand how important it is for families that children get the most out of their ski holiday.

Ski Instruction

Verbier has several dedicated nursery slopes situated around the village and great ski schools. However, we understand first time skiers or more nervous children may need extra help or encouragement. Your concierge will discuss any concerns you have to make sure that you get exactly the right instructor or ski school. And don’t worry, your Chalet Manager will always be on hand to help iron out any problems should they arise.

Non-skiing activities

For the younger children, a morning’s skiing is often enough, but there are plenty of other activities to keep them entertained. From climbing walls to cookery lessons, your concierge will be happy to suggest fun non-skiing activities. All our chalets are well equipped to keep your children entertained.

Baby Equipment

Travelling with young children can be quite stressful. It can also involve bringing a fair bit of equipment. Your dedicated concierge will be able to help with this. Whether you are bringing a newborn or toddler we can arrange for whatever equipment you need. We have everything from sterilisers to stairgates and we will even buy nappies for you so that you can relax the moment you arrive.

Child-Friendly Meals

We also want our younger guests to enjoy their mealtimes and our friendly team of chefs can prepare early child-friendly dinners on request. Our chefs can accommodate even the fussiest of eaters, and we are very happy to plan a menu in advance following discussion with Mum and Dad.

Childcare

We work in close partnership with superb nanny and babysitting services . Some also run a kids club – a perfect option if you don’t want to come down the mountain to collect after ski school!

Meals: Chalet Nyumba food & drink

The best quality ingredients, locally sourced, carefully prepared, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. These are the cornerstones of the dining experience provided in a chalet.

Our Chefs

Our chefs are all professionally trained and very experienced. In fact, they come from around the globe to work for us in Verbier. They bring with them a huge variety of talent and technique, having worked in Michelin-starred restaurants such as Le Gavroche, Chez Bruce, The Square, L’Enclume, Chewton Glen and Launceston Place. Their greatest strengths however are their shared passion for food and service.

Bespoke Menus

Dining is a very important part of the experience, therefore we offer our guests a bespoke dining experience. This means that we welcome our guests to choose the type and style of food that they would like to eat. Our amazing chefs can create anything from a fine dining menu to a sharing feast cooked up on the firepits. For something a little different, they can serve an Asian influenced tasting menu. Alternatively, they can always keep it simple with ‘bistro’ style classics such as the perfect steak and chips. In addition they will prepare an earlier supper if there are children in your party.

Our in-house concierge team will work with you to ensure your chef has a proper grasp on your tastes. We will take note of any likes or dislikes, the intricacies of any varying dietary requirements and the cuisines you enjoy. Then, a few days before your holiday, if you would like, we will arrange a pre-arrival phone call with your chef. At this time you will be able to thoroughly discuss any dietaries and plan your menus in more detail.

Breakfasts

There is no doubt about it, on a ski holiday breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Our hosts will beautifully lay the breakfast table, prepare the latest weather report and be ready to welcome you with your fresh morning coffee. Meanwhile, our chefs will prepare a luxurious spread of locally sourced products. As well as fresh fruit platters, smoothies and bircher muesli, they will also offer a range of indulgent cooked breakfasts. So whether you’re rushing to get the children to ski school or prefer a more leisurely pace, a breakfast will set you up perfectly for a day on the slopes.

Tea or Cocktails?

After enjoying a day up the mountain, it’s time to relax. You can enjoy a freshly prepared afternoon tea, next to the roaring open log fire of your chalet. Or perhaps you would rather have a glass of champagne? It’s also a perfect time to enjoy the bubbling hot tub. And while you chill and reflect on the excitements of the day, your staff will be busy preparing your canapés and mixing the perfect cocktail.

Cotswold Gold

Our UK office is based in the Cotswolds and we’re proud to introduce the region’s award-winning Cotswold Gold Original Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil into our chalets. Cotswold Gold is already used in the kitchens of no fewer than 19 Michelin-star restaurants including Le Manoir aux Quat’saisons and Fera at Claridges.

Healthy Options

On our minds more recently is the importance and increasing awareness of your health and wellbeing. For those looking for a slightly lower calorie count at the end of your holiday, rest assured, we can easily make sure that you have an indulgent, yet healthy skiing holiday!

We update Chalet Nyumba's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

Established in 1937, posh party town Verbier covers a sunny plateau slap bang in the middle of Switzerland’s 4 valleys – which just happens to be one of Europe’s biggest and best ski areas. The easy-on-the-eye architecture’s a pretty mix of wood and slate, but it’s what you’ll find within some of these walls that’ll blow your socks off… Blending in with dozens of classic chalets and ski hotels, this place has some of the most luxurious lodgings on the planet. Some hotels come with designer suites an...
Besides being famous for its off-piste routes, Verbier’s well groomed slopes are well known as some of the most challenging in the Alps. Although it mainly attracts intermediate, advanced and expert level skiers seeking adventurous off-piste and steeps experience, the 37 local pistes covering 100km provide for all abilities. The resort has three areas specifically for beginners, including the gentle slopes at Les Moulins, which has a children’s area and Les Esserts, with its 120m magic carpet. Those with a b...
Many say Verbier’s après is the main reason to visit – it’s certainly some of the best in the world and if you want to increase the odds of bumping into Prince Harry or Leonardo di Caprio on the dance floor, there’s no better place to party. From a good old pint in a lively pub (we love Nelson’s and Pub Mont Fort) to swanky cocktails with the socialites at Cordee de Alps, the nightlife is wonderfully varied. An absolute legend is the Farinet - with a huge sliding roof, a commanding position over the mai...

The tranquil location and commanding position of this stunning, contemporary property offers some of the most spectacular views in Verbier. The mountain vistas visible through the double height floor to ceiling windows of the living room or the plate glass walls of the luxury spa bring the outside in and constantly remind you why you love being in the mountains. This vast and spacious chalet is set out over 4 floors and can sleep up to 14 people making it an ideal retreat for families. A truly stunning spa with lavish facilities include an ‘L’ shaped pool, hammam, indoor and exterior jacuzzi, sauna and a cold water plunge pool. Stairs lead to a mezzanine office, which the kids will love and up to the stunning master bedroom which features a beautiful en-suite marble bathroom and traditional roaring log fire. There’s a large children’s play room on the lower ground floor where they can occupy themselves for hours on end and a fully equipped cinema room, perfect for all the family.
