The Boutique Chalet Company

What The Boutique Chalet Company does

The Boutique Chalet Company, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bath, England, is a private luxury ski chalet operator managing a hand-picked portfolio of premium properties across three French Alpine destinations: Morzine and Les Gets in the Portes du Soleil, and Méribel in the Three Valleys. The company operates roughly 28–32 properties ranging from three-bedroom apartments to extensive private estates, structured across three tiers — Luxury Ski Chalets and Apartments (full-service or self-catered), The Exclusive Collection (700m2+ residences with hotel-grade service), and specialised seasonal offerings. It employs approximately 20 staff across offices in Bath and Morzine, plus a London phone presence, with year-round mountain teams supplemented by seasonal staff employed on French contracts compliant with EU directives.

The product surface spans property rental, full concierge services (transfers, lift passes, ski lessons, equipment hire, guides, restaurant and spa reservations), and signature in-chalet experiences including Kaiseki Japanese fine dining and an exclusive Bamford Spa partnership — the only arrangement globally offering Bamford's treatment menu in a private property. The company manages and staffs properties directly for owners, with revenue derived from accommodation rentals, service packages (catered and self-catered tiers), premium signature experiences, and event-anchored short breaks such as Tour de France packages. Distribution is sales-led, combining direct bookings via website, phone, email and live chat with specialist travel consultants, a password-protected travel-agent portal, and a multi-channel content marketing presence across a journal, films, and social platforms.

The go-to-market targets affluent leisure travellers, families seeking childcare-supported ski holidays, corporate groups, UHNW individuals, and sports-event travellers, with the Exclusive Collection and BC Corporate Ski sub-brands explicitly serving the top two segments. Pricing is quote-based and varies by property, season, and service package.
