Two very different kinds of mountain stay in Verbier have joined forces. The Lodge, Virgin Limited Edition's private luxury chalet in the resort, and Cabane Tortin, an independently run high-alpine hut sitting at 3,000 metres beside the Tortin Glacier, are now sold together as one continuous seven-night journey for private groups of eight to 10 guests. The format: three nights at The Lodge, three at Cabane Tortin, then a final night back at the chalet, with April 2027 slots open now and extra dates on request across the winter.
The appeal is what the altitude unlocks. Cabane Tortin sits well above the main lift network, so its season peaks in April, when spring snow is stable and daylight stretches long. Because guests are already above the lifts, they can ski outside normal operating hours — the Mont Fort lift runs 08:45 to 16:00 — meaning guaranteed first tracks, last tracks and, in April, up to seven hours of extra sunlight on the mountain beyond standard lift time. You arrive by ski, snowshoe or snowmobile, with porters hauling the luggage, and the reward is floor-to-ceiling windows framing 4,000-metre peaks, plus extras like sunrise hikes, sunset fondue facing the Mont Blanc massif and torchlit descents under the stars.
Back down in the village, The Lodge covers the softer side of the trip: an indoor pool, hot tubs, treatment rooms, a private chef running foraging outings, cheesemaking at the local laiterie and paragliding for the brave. Both properties are fully hosted and all-inclusive, with the same ski instructor and mountain guide staying with your group throughout, private driving, a curated Swiss wine cellar at the cabane and a 24-hour car service at the chalet. Staying at The Lodge either side of the high-altitude stretch also helps with acclimatisation.
The catch is the price: seven nights start from CHF 116,000 total for the whole party — roughly CHF 11,600 to 14,500 per person depending on group size — though stay lengths can be tailored. Bookings go through The Lodge's reservations team. It's pitched at experienced skiers chasing quiet slopes and the growing 'luxury of silence' trend, and honestly, if you've ever wanted the high alps to yourself at dawn, this is about as close as it gets without owning a mountain.
