What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Wood-lined rooms and traditional checked Alpine textiles cocoon guests after hitting the slopes, whilst the floor-to-ceiling window flood rooms with summer sunlight.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched in Domaine de Rochegrise above Villars-sur-Ollon, the chalet offers direct slope access with a scenic mountain railway next door.
The rooms
Swiss fir walls, bespoke furnishings, and sleek slate wet rooms define the bedrooms, each opening onto a private balcony angled toward the peaks.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Cushioned loungers line the 14-meter heated indoor pool, set against wood-paneled walls and an open stone hearth.
Sauna and jacuzzi
A Finnish sauna sits beside a 35-degree jacuzzi looking across to the pool and stone fireplace.
Gym and yoga
Treadmills face snowy pines through wide windows, and summer brings yoga sessions among the surrounding trees.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Le Grizzly serves traditional fondue beside a rustic fireplace, and BeAr's Bar pours drinks beneath vaulted timber ceilings.
