Formerly the rustic home of Swiss goat-herds, the chalet has been reborn as a chic Gstaad retreat for people with exquisite good taste. If you are seeking sophistication, privacy and jaw-dropping views, no need to look any further.
The property has a full team of staff including a chalet host, private chef, housekeeper and chauffeur. Everything is in its place, and all your wishes are fulfilled in this stunning yet comfortable Alpine sanctuary. Invite up to fourteen of your closest friends and relations to share the seven en-suite bedrooms and to immerse themselves in luxury.
You just know that this place is extra special. It’s not just the big ticket items such as the plush cinema room, it’s also the attention to detail. Delicately fragranced flowers and silver candelabras sit alongside objects d’art. Every room is beautiful and light-filled, combining natural wood and stone with elegant neutral furnishings. The chalet is the epitome of contemporary refinement.
Be at one with world as you luxuriate in the huge cedar hot tub on the terrace, looking out over pine trees, down the magnificent valley. Raise a glass to toast your friends, sitting nearby on soft fur throws, as your host brings another bottle. The chalet has an extensive living room with high ceilings and a roaring fire, plus a separate sitting room, so you don’t all have to be together all the time. It has a self-contained dining room, and the kitchen/diner is the perfect place to gather for breakfast.
A whole range of extras are available, from childcare and private ski instruction to beauty treatments, massages, and Pilates. Whatever takes your fancy, from a heli-skiing adventure to lunch at the Eagle Ski Club, just ask your obliging host. The inhabitants of the original farmhouse, dating back to 1857, would be astounded at the sheer luxury of the chalet with its cinema room, sauna, gym equipment, ski room, and heavenly bathrooms. The stunning views, however, have hardly changed.

January 13, 2021 at 12:08 pmEverything was great, we had a lovely short break in the the chalet. The location is very good – walking distance from all we needed. We found the house very relaxing to stay in and enjoyed the views of the valley, which looked particularly pretty with unexpectedly early snow on the mountains. The restaurant next door is good too. Chalet Balma is nicely furnished and well equipped.

December 30, 2020 at 7:44 pmWhen we arrived we were unsure of what to espect. As we were shown around the property our eyes widened with amazement, relief, pleasure and gratitude for the wonderful, high speck tidiness of the chalet we had rented from chlets. Everyone were over the moon with what we have come to. The view is amazing and when the sun shined I couldn’t help staring at it .The chalet has plenty of space for large groups and is kitted out with all the facilities you could need. It has easy access to transport and is on the edge of a fabulous Swiss town with all the facilities any family would need. Thanks to Viktoria and her team for being helpful in all the booking and support leading up to the trip and in showing us around the chalet. I’m now looking forward to booking with Viktoria again in one of her other properties, if they are anywhere near the standard of this one then we are all in for a treat. Thanks again, Chalet Balma!

December 29, 2019 at 8:10 amThree generations meet for a Christmas family reunion and go skiing. This chalet in Gstaad is ideal for it. Luxurious and spacious, its indoors is inviting. Overlooking the valley and mere metres away from the bus (while still keeping three cars snow-free), its outdoors calls for action.

December 28, 2018 at 1:08 pmEverything is great during our stay and we had a great time. We especially appreciate that Gerg came to the airport to pick us up. The view was awesome, Chalet Balma clean and comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!
