Five minutes from the GreenGo — the legendary Palace Hotel nightclub where Roger Moore, Elizabeth Taylor, and Princess Diana have all danced since 1971 — and minutes from the piste, Chalet Colombe sits in the coveted Bissen quarter of Gstaad with views across to the Palace itself and the sweeping face of the Diablerets Glacier. At €100,000 per week it occupies the very top of the Gstaad rental market, and it earns that position in every detail: traditional old-timber architecture that belongs entirely to the Bernese Oberland, and interiors that balance modern art, antiques, and contemporary design into something that can only be described as the height of Alpine chic.
Seven ensuite bedroom suites spread across three distinct units accommodate up to 14 guests with the kind of flexibility that suits large family groups and friends travelling together in equal measure. The kitchen, dining room, and living room occupy the second floor and open onto a terrace with a BBQ corner and glacier views that make every meal — indoors or out — a quietly spectacular occasion. For the hours after skiing, the chalet's own indoor spa is a destination in itself: a private retreat from the cold that means there is no need to leave the warmth of the chalet before the evening begins.
Gstaad village, the ski lifts, boutiques, and the full social calendar of one of Switzerland's most exclusive resorts are all within minutes. Chalet Colombe is built and designed for both winter and summer, and is available year-round.
