far flung friday: verbier

 

given a choice...i would easily opt for sun over snow. but with a light dusting of powerdy goodness on the ground and the christmas lights all aglow... and what could really be better than cuddling up in front of a fire with mr c and 5 of our best couple friends?
 who wants in???



verbier is one of europe’s premier ski resorts and the largest of the 4 valley ski region in the swiss alps. alongside aavoleyres, bruson and mt fort, verbier is renowned for its skiing prowess.

this luxury ski chalet is nestled high above the main village in the exclusive hamlet (i heart hamlets) of clambin and is accessed on skis via the blue clambin piste. bellaiuva is actually 2 chalets combined together, both over 100 years old. it includes a ‘wet room’ complete with heated boot warmers and clothes dryers. on the first floor, there is a high tech media room and a brazilian slate steam bath with rain shower big enough for 2....ummm.  the chalet also has a ski-doo and snow vehicle and on the third day when all the girls wish for a little escape...we'll zoom down to the main village for a drink and to dish about the uber hot ski instructor how awesome our boys are :)



the chalet’s name means “beautiful view” in local patois and we will indeed be blown away by the pristine, stunning views of the valley and village below. after long days exploring the slopes...we'll grab bottles of bubbly and hit the hot tub daring one another to make snow angels in the virgin snow.



and after the hot tub....i'll do my best to rock my fuzzy boots and leg warmers.

..because why not???
 in verbier....anything goes

at the end of the week....
we'll decide that these trips must become a tradition
....and we'll start planning our next adventure....

kisses ~ mrs m
