Independent Stay

(self-catered)

Self-catered luxury chalets for the independent traveller.

An Independent Stay is a luxury private chalet holiday built around complete freedom. Your pace, your plans - in an exclusive chalet in Verbier or Méribel, impeccably prepared and ready to make entirely your own. Dine out in the village, cook together after a day on the slopes, or simply settle into the quiet comfort of your mountain home. With the Armadillo team on hand throughout, the freedom is yours - the support is always there.

In Good Hands

From the moment you arrive, your Armadillo team is there. A personal welcome, a tour of the chalet, everything in place before you settle in. A locally sourced provisions basket awaits with a taste of the Alps to get you started. Your concierge is available every day from 08:30 to 18:00 throughout your stay.

Eating out

Verbier and Méribel have some of the best resort dining in the Alps. Local Alpine cooking, global cuisines, a Michelin-awarded restaurant in Méribel, family -friendly spots, and restaurants with DJs playing vinyl records and live jazz - the range is genuinely impressive. Your concierge knows the scene well and will secure the right table for your group

Housekeeping

While you're on the mountain, the chalet takes care of itself. Daily housekeeping, fresh Aesop amenities, linen changed mid-week - so that when you walk back through the door, everything is exactly as it should be. All you have to do is relax and enjoy every moment.

Concierge

Your Armadillo concierge is with you from the moment your booking is confirmed. Pre-arrival, we take care of everything - ski hire, lift passes, airport transfers, restaurant reservations, and anything beyond. In resort, your concierge is available daily from 08:30 to 18:00. And if you want to go further, the A La Carte menu is where your stay really takes shape.

Make your holiday your own

Not every group wants the same thing. The A La Carte menu is how your Independent Stay becomes entirely your own - adding the people, experiences, and touches that matter to your group, and nothing that doesn't. Every addition is organised by your concierge before you arrive. All requests should be made at least four weeks prior to arrival and are subject to availability.

A Taste Of What's Possible

A heli skiing morning followed by a wine masterclass in the evening. A ski touring guide into the backcountry, a fondue night back at the chalet. A private chef cooking to your tastes, a sommelier-selected wine cellar waiting on arrival. A yoga teacher, a massage therapist, a nanny for the little ones.

Your concierge builds it around you.
