Overview
An intoxicating take on the traditional ski hotel, Experimental Chalet Verbier brings superlative cocktails and Seventies glamour to the heart of Swiss ski resort Verbier. This mountain bolthole is a high-altitude outpost of Experimental Group, and so the bar is the social hub, proving a definitive spot for après-ski soirees, and the Alpine-inspired restaurant freshens up old favourites like tartiflette. If you’re still going strong at close, take the party downstairs to the Farm Club, the longstanding cornerstone of Verbier nightlife.

In the know
Also need to know:
All of the common areas are wheelchair accessible, and there are three specially adapted rooms.The interiors are the work of Paris-based architect and interior designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, whose previous commissions includes lavish Venetian apartments, Parisian boutiques and Hong Kong nightclubs. In his typical style, he hasn’t shied away from combining diverse styles: in the rooms, you’ll see Edelweiss carpets mingled with Twenties furniture and Sixties art.
Packing tips:
With the Farm Club just downstairs, you won’t have to trudge through any snow to get there, meaning you can wear not-so-sensible shoes without risk to life and limb.
Dress code:
Cream cashmere roll necks, suede and mountaineer-style boots will keep you right.

Dining information
Restaurant:
Having already taken Paris and London by storm, Frenchie founder Gregory Marchand knows just what it takes to make regional cuisine sing. As with his other restaurants, it’s the local produce that dictates the menu, not the other way round. Trout is on the menu because it can be line caught in crystal-clear mountain lakes; the tartiflette earns its place because of creamy reblochon cheese from Savoy. Alongside the regular menu, there are sharing dishes cooked en cocotte and light bites that can be ordered throughout the day.
Top Table:
Settle into the sunken area by the fire.
Last Orders:
Breakfast is served from 7.30am to 10.30am. The restaurant is open from 7.30pm to 10.30pm daily. Drinks flow in the cocktail bar from 6pm to 2am.
Room Service:
One hot dish and two cold dishes are available every day.
Hotel Bar:
The bar is where a lobby would normally be, turning the ground floor into a cocktail-laced social hub. As with the other Experimental hotels, the drinks are the cornerstone of the experience – a menu of signature and new creations will be on offer, but the barmen are more than capable of going off menu to fulfil a custom request. During the day, post up by the fire or head out to catch a few rays on the sun-soaked terrace; after dark, the bar becomes the perfect prelude to the Verbier’s famous Farm Club, which is just downstairs.
