Christmas and New Year chalet in the AlpsThe two most sought-after weeks
The Christmas and New Year weeks are the most contested of the Alpine winter. Chalet, private chef, tree and decor, bespoke New Year celebration and private fireworks: we secure the whole of it before the last availabilities are gone.
At Christmas and New Year, the finest chalets in Courchevel, Megeve, Val d Isere, Verbier and Chamonix are often booked from the previous spring. Past autumn, only a handful of addresses remain, and the best go first. Our role: to open those confidential availabilities for you and turn these two weeks into a family moment with no logistics on your shoulders.
Private chef for the celebration, decoration and tree delivered and installed, gifts sourced and wrapped, dedicated ski instructor for the children, transfers from Geneva or the altiport, a starred table on the evening of the 31st: every detail is agreed with you beforehand, then executed without your having to think about it.
A celebration orchestrated end to end
Six strands so Christmas and New Year stay a memory, never a logistics exercise.

Frequently asked questions
When should a chalet be booked for Christmas or New Year?
+
The finest addresses are often booked from the previous spring. We nonetheless keep access to last-minute availability: even in late autumn there are still solutions, provided you decide quickly.
Are private fireworks possible?
+
Yes, subject to municipal authorisation and weather conditions. We file the requests and coordinate a licensed pyrotechnician where the resort allows it.
Can you handle the gifts and the tree?
+
Yes. We source and wrap the gifts to your list, install the tree and decoration before your arrival, and can arrange a staged handover on Christmas evening.
Is the private chef available on the evening of the 31st?
+
Yes, provided you secure them early: the best seasonal chefs are booked months ahead for New Year Eve. We secure that date as a priority.
Do you offer childcare during the celebration?
+
Yes, with qualified, English-speaking staff if needed, so the adults fully enjoy New Year Eve while the children are cared for at the chalet.
In which resorts do you operate for the holidays?
+
Courchevel, Megeve, Val d Isere, Verbier and Chamonix directly, and other Alpine resorts on request according to your habits.
