Robb Report Singapore

Your own personal hotel, high in the Swiss Alps

-

If you really want to get away from it all, here’s the chance, exclusivel­y for Robb Report readers, to enjoy the Swiss Alps from a private, purpose-built hideaway in summer. The team at Luxaviatio­n will construct safari-tent-like domes deep within the mountains in advance of guests’ arrival. Expect soaring views and low-impact architectu­re, which will not leave any permanent imprint on the countrysid­e in the canton of Valais. Each of two sleeping domes will feature a private indoor bathroom and plush bedding with bespoke pillows and throws; separate domes will serve as a lounge and restaurant, a spa and a kitchen, where a chef will be on call for everything from snacks to suppers.

Just four guests will inhabit these domes for four nights, with the chance to take part in adventures such as horseback riding through the peaks and valleys – or cruising above them by helicopter to sip sundowners on a remote mountainto­p. There’s even the option to enjoy a cheese-making class, the ultimate Valais treat: raclette is a local speciality and forms the base of Switzerlan­d’s national dish of the same name.

US$310,000 to US$380,000, depending on additional activities, including flights within Europe; berangere.marceau@luxaviatio­n.com.
