One mountain. Forty chalets. Snow that answers to no one.
A private alpine estate above the treeline — 110 kilometres of groomed silence, glacier chalets warmed by copper fires, and a thermal spa steaming into the pines.
Velmont was never meant to be a resort. In 1962 it was a single timber refuge at 2 400 metres, kept by a family who believed a mountain should be earned. Three generations later, forty chalets stand where the refuge did — and the mountain is still private.
Days here are measured in first tracks and long lunches. The pistes close to the public at dusk; after that, the mountain belongs to the house — moonlit descents, torchlit fondue, and the hush of snowfall on cedar roofs.
Seven pistes on one private massif. Choose a run from the index — and the mountain tells you what it asks of you.
Lift status and wait times refresh as the day breathes — exactly what the concierge sees from the valley station.
“Eight minutes in the gondola, and every obligation you own stays down in the valley.”
Cedar walls, a stone hearth laid each evening, and a window bench built for watching snow fall on the village roofs.
A great arched window holds the entire massif. Wake to alpenglow, breakfast on the terrace, ski to the door by afternoon.
Your own timber house at the forest's edge — four bedrooms, a private chef, a cinema, and a snowcat on call for midnight summit runs.
Five tables on one mountain — from a glass dining room hung over the valley to a candlelit fromagerie dug into hundred-year-old cellar stone.
The spa keeps mountain hours — dawn plunges before first lift, lantern-lit soaks after last. Heat, cold, and the smell of cedar; nothing else asked of you.
The season runs 12 December to 19 April. Every pass carries the thermal house, the gondolas, and first tracks on Sundays.
Forty chalets. One private mountain. The concierge holds your dates for forty-eight hours — no payment until you arrive.
Your request is with the Valley Station. A concierge will telephone before the day is out to set your dates.
