Cabin Tortin It looks more like the lair of a Bond Villain than a ski cabin. It comes at a price CHF 60,000 (£53,4000) for a 3-night stay. Check out the images.

It comes with a private chef, dedicated mountain guide, and all the luxuries of a five-star chalet.

It is claimed to be the most exclusive new ski retreat in the Swiss Alps and opens on 15 December 2024.

Unparalleled Access: Ski-in, ski-out directly onto the Tortin Glacier for world-class freeride terrain. For the less adventurous, arrive via Can-Am (tracked vehicle) across the glacier.

Ultra-Exclusive: Only 8 guests maximum, with a dedicated staff including a private chef and mountain guide

Sustainability Meets Luxury: Built on a pre-existing foundation to minimise environmental impact, featuring solar power and water sourced from a natural mountain spring

Price Tag: The base price for up to six people staying three nights is CHF 60,000 (£53,400)

For touring enthusiasts: When Cabin Tortin isn’t booked privately – adventurous ski tourers can use the downstairs high-end mountain refuge “Bivouac des Gentianes”

“Being at 3000m we recommend a few days acclimatising in Verbier before heading up. It is an exceptional place offering a unique experience,” said Camilla Brownlow from Mountainbeds, one of the agents of the Cabane Tortin.

Mountain Beds has been Verbier Experts for over 30 years and has access to a huge range of hotels, apartments and chalets, both catered and self-catered, in the Swiss resort.
