The Yorks' chalet and a generation of royal winters

Verbier

Switzerland · December to April

The Duke and Duchess of York kept their chalet here and the next generation grew up on these slopes. Verbier balances serious off-piste terrain with a social season that runs from December to Easter — chalets are inherited, and the best tables know exactly who is in town.

Why it stays exclusive

·Chalets that pass between families rather than appearing on the market
·Le Rouge and the Carrefour tables booked by name, not by app
·Backcountry terrain that filters out everyone but the properly guided

What is possible here

·Heli-skiing the Petit Combin with a UIAGM guide, lunch on a summit ridge
·A private table at Le Mille 8 after the lifts close, raclette by the fire
·The Verbier Xtreme face from the spectator deck, aperitif in hand
·A moonlit snowshoe to an alpine farm for fondue and wood-smoked meats
