The Lodge in Verbier, Richard Branson’s Alpine Retreat

The Lodge In Winter

The Lodge Verbier, owned by the one and only Richard Branson, is a winter retreat that offers the highest standards of luxury that money can buy. The Ultimate Luxury Chalets team wanted to get an insight into what makes this incredible chalet and its service so unique……..

Besides being ski in/out, capable of hosting up to 18 adults and 6 children, The Lodge provides a completely bespoke experience for each of its guests. The concierge are on hand to organise tailored excursions such as mountain biking and paragliding in the summer. In the winter months guests have access to one of the largest ski domains in the world, providing varied skiing options for all abilities.

We take a more in depth look at the type of events that can be arranged at The Lodge…..

Guests won’t only be amazed by the calibre of chalet they are staying in but also the level of service that is provided is second to none. The food served at The Lodge is one of the highlights of a stay, with chefs being able to serve a mixture of Swiss and International cuisines, meaning even the pickiest of eaters won’t have tummy rumbles during the course of the ceremony. The very special first meal as a married couple can be as formal or informal as the couple wish it to be, with the team being able to offer multiple-course gourmet taster meals to home-style classics!

The menu is customised around the couple’s ideas and preferences, adding that special touch to an already momentous occasion.

Evenings are when the party starts and, weather permitting, the team at The Lodge Verbier can arrange an al-fresco dining experience, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh mountain air on the terrace of the chalet with an indulgent barbecue feast. Shuck an oyster, guzzle some champagne and soak up the views and natural beauty that will never be forgotten.

The Lodge Party Room

Richard Branson’s Chalet stocks a great range of international wines, top quality spirits, international beers and excellent house champagne. Pre or post wedding day, when the weather is glorious, The Lodge team can organise excursions and activities on the mountain. Don’t fancy leaving the Chalet? Guests can take a dip in the indoor heated pool, or soothe aching limbs in the steam room, and the indoor and outdoor hot tubs (with the obligatory champagne bucket obviously!), allowing you to feel a rested and relaxed as possible. After all, this partying malarky and indulgent eating is tough work, isn’t it?! For those that do feel a little too over-indulged, there is a fully equipped gym for you to blast a work-out  and attempt to sweat out the last night’s festivities.

The Lodge Outdoor Hot Tub

Time to let your hair down and show the rest of the party your moves!……The Lodge comes with an incredible and diverse party area to host unforgettable nights. Obviously there is the bar……a party chalet wouldn’t be complete without one. If guests want to dance the night away under a twinkling disco ball to the tunes played by your own private DJ, or if you wish to just relax and shoot some pool, the entertaining space in The Lodge provides a relaxed environment for all to enjoy.

If you decide to take the chalet exclusively for a wedding, your rate includes the 24 hour driver service within Verbier, taxes and a dedicated team of staff. Accommodation rates will vary depending on whether the guests choose to get married in the summer or in the winter season.
