Chalet Perfection in St Anton

Chalet Perfection in St Anton

Published on 13/06/2020 by Finest Holidays - Luxury Travel

If you are planning a winter skiing escape to St Anton then Finest Holidays – Luxury Travel has two fantastic luxury chalets to catch your eyes. These large group chalets are landmarks in their own right, bringing new dimensions of style and opulence to Austria’s most stylish skiing resort.

The chalets are Villekulla and Lena, and they can be found overlooking the slopes; a short stroll from the main piste back into St Anton; and close to the Nassereinbahn lifts.

These ski chalets are unique and can accommodate large groups, summer and winter, hosting parties of  12 in Villekula, and 17 (plus 5) in Lena. These are rare and prized properties by any standards, but their location in the sophisticated setting of St Anton puts them in another dimension.

St Anton is surely Austria’s top ski resort, and, according to many one of the top handful in the Alps. World-class skiing comes across a huge ski area shared with Lech (305km of pistes, 200km off-piste), and that offers a great variety of experiences, including fantastic boarding.

The resort itself is a winning mix of style, a lively social scene, and traditional Alpine village ambience.

While it hasn’t perhaps got the historic cachet of St Moritz or Courchevel, St Anton is regarded as a world capital of après, thanks largely to two bars: Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh.

St Anton’s slopes are super accessible, with reliable ski-able snow running towards the villages, and 88 lifts and cable cars. It’s a great setting for beginners, advanced, and seasoned off-piste explorers.

The luxury chalets we have are perfect to return to after a busy day’s skiing.

A Luxury Playground for Grown Ups

If you read the Pippi Longstocking books – or are reading them to your children – you’ll recognize the magical name, Villekulla.

Pippi would have loved to have played in this superb Alpine chalet, and with six superb bedrooms for 12 guests, she would have had room to do so in style. With ski-in access, this new chalet is a superb addition to the St Anton scene, and showcases and has the cool clean Scandi lines and blonde wood to match its name.

Villekulla is also super-cozy, while delivering a cool, under-stated, and laid-back feel.

There’s no need to embellish in such a wonderful location, with the ski-run into town – and many great restaurants and bars – just outside.

Topped with an open-plan living and dining space complete with big, south-facing balcony and sun terrace, Villekulla is a brillant family winter home from home, but certainly has all the trimmings (Smart TV, two terrace hot tubs, private balconies and more) to suit the most demanding grown up guests.

A New Horizon

Chalet Lena is the biggest and probably the most impressive of these luxury holiday chalets. Lena can sleep 17 guests, (plus five), in nine bedrooms and offers 900m2 of living space. Perfect for a group of friends, corporate trips and large families.

This is a chalet full of highlights, and you will find your favorite spot, but the natural place to start might be in the wellness area. The spa is an oasis for relaxation after a day on the slopes. Timeless designed with a steam room, Finnish and Bio saunas, indoor/outdoor swimming pool and hot tub. There is also a treatment room for beauty treatments and massages to pamper yourself.

Big parties need space to get together, and the huge living room – with adjoining open-plan dining – sets the scene for an elegant, and outstanding chalet. The main living room enjoys superb views, with wall-sized windows, and two big balconies. Decorated in a classic, elegant style, this is a laid-back but chic space, with a focal-piece fireplace. Soft warm colors and the best fabrics combined with timber create a relaxed atmosphere. Head to the entertainment room to watch the latest movies or relax with a book in the privacy of the library. Chalet Lena has everything you would expect from a first class holiday retreat in the Alps.

Themed bedrooms are also true to the location, and Lena’s stratospheric standards, while everything from the gym to the ski room, the music systems to the library go above and beyond expectation in terms of quality and style. A truly magnificent chalet that will impress everyone with its wow effect. Not to forget the exclusive 5 star service. The Chalet Manager and Concierge will fulfill your every wish. The professional chef will prepare the most delicious dishes and serve the best wines to make your holiday an unforgettable experience.

Lena really is a property that lives up to any hype.

Pleasures and Diversions

In the Verwallstube, you can enjoy the height of dining excellence at more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Its gentle elegance and excellence is a nice counterpoint to the dancing down in the village bars.

Beyond the classic ski experience everything from helicopter trips to tobogganing or a horse drawn sleigh ride is on hand in St Anton.
