Description

With its dark walls, silhouetted against the snow, Black Pearl truly lives up to its name. It’s a gem of a find, dotted among other luxury ski chalets, but with a style all its own.

Inside, traditional chalet style combines with eastern influences to create a dark and sophisticated atmosphere that’s impossible not to relax in.

Lounge on any of the capacious sofas and armchairs, by roaring fires, or from under piles of blankets and throws. Catch up with friends about all the events of the day, or simply get lost in a good book, with a good bottle of wine by your side.

At mealtimes, the modern dining table, underneath a huge, twinkling chandelier, provides a wonderful backdrop for long, leisurely meals. Enjoy seasonal and local food and fine wines, matched with good conversation long into the night.

After you return from the slopes each day and fill up on afternoon tea, you’ll have a good few hours for some downtime before dinner. Relax in the piano lounge or games room, head to the private cinema room for a movie, or throw on your dressing gown and pad down to the private spa, with pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, Hammam, massage room and state-of-the-art gym.

After a gourmet dinner cooked by your private chef, enjoy nightcaps on the terrace, and then retire to luxury en-suite bedrooms. The two master bedrooms (each with their own open fireplace for a rustic, winter wonderland feel) are interconnected, with walk-in wardrobes and Jacuzzis. Then there are two suites, each with a lounge area, and four further bedrooms. All the bedrooms have TVs, DVD players, mini bars and Wifi as standard, making each bedroom its own boutique bolthole in the snow.
