Chalets for Celebrating the New Year
New Year in the mountains has an atmosphere all of its own. Snow-covered villages, long lunches, celebratory dinners and midnight fireworks make the Alps a memorable place to see in the year, particularly when your group has the privacy of an exceptional chalet to return to.
Our New Year collection includes properties in some of the most celebrated Alpine destinations, including Verbier, Méribel, Courchevel 1850, Val d’Isère and Tignes. For families and groups of friends, a private chalet creates somewhere everyone can gather while still having the resort and mountains on the doorstep.
New Year is also one of the highest-demand periods in the ski calendar. The most desirable chalets can be secured well in advance, while minimum stays, arrival dates and service arrangements can differ from the rest of the season.
Our team works with these properties and their operators throughout the year, so we understand not only which chalets look suited to a celebration, but how they operate over New Year. We can help you navigate availability, location, service and the wider arrangements required to make the week feel properly special.
This is only a small selection of our portfolio.
Why spend New Year in the Alps?
New Year in the mountains combines skiing with one of the most atmospheric weeks of the winter. Snow-covered villages, long lunches, celebratory dinners and resort festivities make it an unforgettable time to bring family and friends together.
A private chalet gives the group somewhere of its own to celebrate, whether the plan is a relaxed dinner beside the fire or a larger occasion before heading into the resort at midnight.
Choosing the right resort for New Year
Our collection includes New Year properties in resorts such as Verbier, Méribel, Courchevel 1850, Val d'Isère and Tignes. Each offers a different atmosphere, from lively resort centres to chalets where the celebration can remain almost entirely private.
The right choice depends on your group. Families may prioritise space and easy skiing, while groups of friends might place restaurants, bars and resort atmosphere much higher on the list.
Why plan New Year early?
New Year is one of the most sought-after periods in the Alpine calendar. The best properties can be secured many months ahead, and operators may use different arrival dates, minimum stays or service packages during the festive period.
Our specialists work closely with chalet operators and can explain those differences before you commit.
FAQs
When should I book a chalet for New Year?
We recommend planning as early as possible, particularly if you have a preferred resort, large group or specific chalet requirements.
Do ski resorts organise New Year's Eve celebrations?
Many do, although events vary by resort and year. Our team can advise on the character of the destination and our concierge team can assist with current plans closer to travel.
Can we arrange a special dinner in our chalet?
Depending on the property's service basis, festive dining may already be included or can sometimes be arranged separately. We will confirm exactly what applies to each chalet.
Is New Year suitable for families?
Yes. A private chalet can be particularly good for multi-generational families because celebrations can happen at home while skiing and resort activities remain easily accessible.
