Chalet Hotel Montpelier, Verbier, Switzerland

Chalet Hotel Montpelier

The addition of the Montpelier to our portfolio in Verbier last year was something of a coup as it is an exceptionally well-regarded hotel locally. With its superb facilities coupled with our friendly and professional Chalet Hotel service, our first guests were more than happy with this fabulously well-appointed hotel and it has already become a firm favourite.

'Location location, location!'

The Chalet Hotel Montpelier is well placed in Verbier . It is just a short stroll to the resort centre with its fabulous shops and restaurants, as well as the numerous aprés ski venues, assuming that you wish to go out and leave behind the comfortable Chalet Hotel and its leisure facilities.

Ski Area Access

The quickest way to get to the Médran lifts is by the frequent and free bus service that stops just 100m from the front door. As with all things Swiss, you can rely on its timekeeping and efficiency so you will never be kept waiting long. For those who prefer to make their own way to the lifts, it is a 10-12 minutes' walk.

Excellent Chalet Hotel Facilities

Entering the Chalet Hotel Montpelier you are immediately struck by its welcoming warmth and charm. The stunning reception area, bar, lounge and dining rooms are cleverly inter-linked ensuring a soothing and ambient cosiness overall.

The excellent bedrooms are split over four floors on two separate sides of the hotel, each with their own stairway and lift. The bedrooms range in size from single bedrooms to suites that will sleep up to four guests and most have en suite facilities and balconies. The impressive suites have two separate sleeping areas; a twin bedroom and a lounge with one or two sofa-beds, so offer a unique opportunity for two friends to have separate and spacious sleeping quarters at minimal additional cost. One, Suite 312, even has two separate bathrooms both with bath and wc!

The 'pièce de la resistance' in the Chalet Hotel Montpelier has to be the Wellness Spa with its indoor swimming pool with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a south-facing terrace across the valley and to the mountains beyond. The pool has a special feature for those with energy to swim against its exhausting current as well as an attractive cascading fountain. The additional sauna and steam room offer further ways to unwind before sitting poolside and relaxing whilst soaking up the awesome Alpine views.

Occupancy: 83 - 101 guests guests

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff involved in food preparation are trained to the City & Guilds qualification – Level 2 in Food Safety during the pre-season training course. There is a continental breakfast is every morning and a breakfast hot option, afternoon tea and evening dinners are provided for six days of the week in both chalets and Chalet Hotels.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a hot option, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff day off, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff day off. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready.

Piste Picnics

Our Chalet Hotels can also prepare a packed lunch for you on request, at a small local charge. For skiers keen to keep their Euro-spending to an absolute minimum, this is the ideal way to keep your costs down!

Children's High Tea

In chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 11 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Families in Chalet Hotels

Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge of £39 at the time of booking only.

Dinner in Chalet Hotels

In the evenings our chefs will cook you a three-course meal six nights a week. Before your meal, there is a glass of prosecco and canapés served in the bar. The three courses consist of an appetiser, main course and dessert – with unlimited complimentary red, white and rosé wine during service! There is also an option for vegetarians.

There is a choice of appetiser, main course and dessert or cheese and your order is usually taken in the morning and then is served to your table.

On the staff one night off per week just a continental breakfast is provided and it’s a great opportunity for you to experience some local restaurants in your resort. Speak to your resort representative or Chalet Hotel Manager for recommendations and help with reservations.

Vegetarian and Special Diets

Vegetarian options are available in our properties – just advise us at time of bookings so that we can ensure that our staff can prepare. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared. Our Chalet Hosts will discuss your dietary requirements with you upon arrival to the chalet or Chalet Hotel.

Christmas and New Year

All of our chalets and Chalet Hotels will serve a traditional Christmas dinner with a glass of Champagne to start off the evening. This will include roast turkey with all of the trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, crackers and party hats plus a fantastic Alpine atmosphere in which to enjoy the day.

A special festive menu will also be served on New Year’s Eve, alongside the added bonus that many resorts put on fantastic firework displays. A glass of fizz, whilst watching fireworks over the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.. what better way to bring in the New Year!

Our Quality Wines

We are very proud of our wine selection for chalets and Chalet Hotels, which combines crisp and fruity whites with medium to full-bodied reds, for a variety of palates. We select our wines in conjunction with our good friends Nicolas and Véronique – the third generation in the Perret family’s fine wine business based in the Savoie. Nicolas is a qualified wine expert, having trained at the prestigious Burgundy Wine University in Beaune. Each season in October, Nicolas & Véronique bring over a new selection for us to sample (someone has to do it!) and together we choose our wines for the coming season, based on our menus and their pure enjoyment factor. Wine is an incredibly subjective and emotive subject, however, the feedback we have received from our guests over recent seasons endorses our aims of providing wines to enhance your meal and to suit most tastes. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do!
