In another sign that the perception of Switzerland being too expensive for main stream ski holiday companies to operate is waning, leading operator Inghams have announced they are unveiling a new ‘Xtra Chalet’ in Verbier this winter, one of three the company is giving this new classification to.

“An ‘Xtra Chalet’ offers all the benefits enjoyed a chalet with a few welcome added extras included such as a full residents-only bar run by friendly Inghams bar staff, a hearty hot and cold skiers’ buffet breakfast, cakes and savouries for afternoon tea, a rosé wine as an additional wine choice at dinner as well as a local cheeseboard to top off the chalet dining experience,” explained a company spokesperson.

The Verbier property is the company’s ‘Chalet de Verbier’ which they have given an Inghams ‘four diamond’ rating to.

The company is offering seven nights there from £564 per person (based upon a max. occupancy of 4 people) for departures on 2nd January 2016. Price includes return flights from London Gatwick to Geneva and resort transfers.
