Launched in 2018, The Chalet Edit is an award-winning luxury ski-chalet company that specialises in creating exceptional tailor-made ski chalet holidays to Europe’s leading ski resorts. With first-hand knowledge of destinations, off-market properties and a dedicated concierge service, the expert team provides an effortless and exclusive service that’s blazing a trail in the industry.
The hassle-free little black book of ski
A modern take on luxury chalet booking, it aims to guide and inspire guests by taking away the stress and hassle of finding and booking a ski-chalet holiday. Operating in sought-after European destinations such as Courchevel 1850, Chamonix, Pragelato, Morzine, Val D’Isere, Verbier, Zermatt, Meribel, Crans Montana and Les Gets, The Chalet Edit covers an expansive territory to give clients a wide range of options. The portfolio lends itself to both personal and corporate stays, with properties sleeping up to 28 guests. The Chalet Edit is described by TTG Luxury as “The hassle-free little black book of ski” (December 2018) and by Tatler as being “A hand-picked collection of stunning chalets” (November 2018).
A female founder
The business was founded by mountain enthusiast and industry expert Anna Sampson. With over 17 years of experience in this field, Anna had already managed and grown several acclaimed chalet booking agencies, including Alpine Answers, Powder Byrne and Firefly Collection. Sampson is therefore (and thus far) somewhat of an anomaly in the luxury travel sector, where female founders are in the minority — something she, and The Chalet Edit, are helping to change. From its base in Fulham, London, and led by Anna, the travel company provides consultations and handcrafts holidays in the most magical locations.
Exclusive off-market properties
The carefully edited portfolio of 800 vetted chalets is combined with a whole host of ‘off-market properties’, alongside a complimentary travel concierge service with clients’ needs at the forefront of every booking. As each has been personally visited by a specialist, The Chalet Edit is able to offer personalised recommendations, with a thorough and first-hand knowledge of what will work best for your group and a commitment to achieving the best possible price.
Ultra-luxe amenities
The collection includes spectacular properties with features such as hot tubs, private cinemas, steam rooms, infinity swimming pools, saunas, massage rooms and ski-in-ski-out facilities, all catering to your specific needs and desires — one even has its own Bamford Spa with a therapist on hand to help guests relax and ease into the break.
Pre-arrival
Planning the finer details of an overseas trip with a large number of people and limited on-the-ground knowledge can prove challenging and time-consuming. But this is where Anna and her dedicated team save the day, with a wealth of experience, impartial knowledge and an in-depth understanding of the idiosyncrasies involved in high-end travel. Some of the chalets are fully staffed as standard; with others, there’s the option of opting for specific services, such as a private butler, an in-resort driver or a personal chef on hand to create Michelin-level meals — either for the duration, or set periods. It’s all about designing the ideal escape for the individuals and groups in question, rather than a one size fits all approach.
Your wish is The Chalet Edit’s command…
And the bespoke level of service continues long after securing your perfect chalet. The concierge arranges everything, be it child care, equipment hire with in-chalet fittings, ski passes (this is a no queue zone), lessons and trusted transfers; they recommend the best après ski spots; and programmed activities to excite you and your guests, such as husky sledging, heli-skiing, exhilarating night sledging, unique spa treatments, one to one yoga sessions and romantic picnics on the piste. If you wish to arrive by a private or shared jet, The Chalet Edit’s team makes it happen, so that every aspect of your trip, from start to finish, joins together seamlessly.
Luxury Travel Agency of the Year
This approach is certainly attracting recognition, both in client reviews and official accolades. In July 2022 The Chalet & Villa Edit was awarded the title of ‘Luxury Travel Agency of the Year’ in the London and the South East of England Prestige Awards. Selected by a panel of business leaders, the Prestige Awards acknowledges small and independent businesses that have proven to be the best in their market over the past 12 months and consistently offer excellence in service and product. The brand was also nominated Best Ski & Winter Sports Holiday Company in the British Travel Awards 2022.
Curating the ultimate ski holiday experience
Anna Sampson, Founder of The Chalet Edit & Villa Edit comments “I couldn’t be prouder of the achievements of the team and company over the last few years, which have been some of the trickiest the travel industry has ever faced. I have been in the travel industry for 17 years, but owning my own travel business has always been my goal. This is the recognition that I dreamed of when starting the business, and truly reflects the efforts and dedication of our small team. The personal service starts right from the planning through to returning home with first-hand knowledge of each destination. A holiday with The Chalet Edit is so much more than simply staying in a beautiful chalet – we ensure every holiday is completely tailor-made from transfers to childcare, events and parties. It is this attention to detail that ensures The Chalet Edit is the ultimate ski holiday experience.”
The beautiful hand-picked portfolio of properties, the dedicated team and the entirely bespoke nature of everything The Chalet Edit does are what truly sets this brand apart from other luxury chalet agencies. And it continues to go from strength to strength, with a promise to redefine luxury chalet booking
