Verbier, Switzerland—Luxury and budget skiers and adventurers can stay atop Tortin Glacier, high above the ski resort town of Verbier, thanks to a two-level accommodation strategy at the new Cabane Tortinthat opened December 15, 2024. Whether you choose the uber-luxurious option or go the more budget-friendly route, you’ll have unlimited access to the famed powder fields and off-piste, backcountry skiing at 9,500 feet elevation.

Luxury Option: Cabane Tortin, approximately $66,200 (60,000 CHF)/3 nights full board/6 guests

The upper levels of the architect-designed Cabane Tortin provide a peak experience with luxurious amenities and panoramic views of the snow-covered Swiss Alps. Book the three-bedroom cabane chalet as your own, with tailor-made itineraries and a personal staff. A private chef prepares meals and ski picnics, pairing wines from the wine cellar for evening apres-ski gatherings. A mountain ski guide designs and accompanies ski adventures, and in-chalet spa treatments can be arranged. 

Budget Option: Bivouac des Gentianes, approximately $2,200 (2,000 CHF) per night/up to 8 guests

On occasions when the Cabane Tortin is not booked, the Bivouac des Gentianes opens up on the lower level as a traditional mountain refuge for ski tourers, mountaineers and walkers. It is available on a self-catering basis and sleeps up to 8 guests in double pods located in one room. There is also a kitchen, seating area and one bathroom with shower. Bivouac is not sold on a per person basis, and is only available when the upper level is not occupied. 

Cabane Tortin immerses guests in the natural beauty of the rugged mountain environment with the minimal footprint of an eco-sensitive lodge designed by architect Snorre Stinessen. Ski-in ski-out access at the edge of the glacier puts adventurers in the midst of untracked powder and backcountry skiing across expansive, ungroomed terrain and steep, mogul-studded slopes with long, vertical descents.
