The snow reports are fantastic and you’ve just got enough time in your busy schedule to fit in a cheeky extra ski holiday. You need somewhere lovely, that isn’t too big for your select group and is close to the lifts and Verbier’s legendary shops, bars and restaurants.

Let us introduce you to  Hickory  - this lovely two-bedroom chalet apartment is in an ideal position, just off Place Centrale in the heart of the resort. It has recently been renovated to an exceptional standard using reclaimed untreated wood to give the chalet a cosy atmosphere. 

The kitchen and bathrooms also feature reclaimed wood combined with modern fixtures and fittings.  Chalet Hickory has a master bedroom with a super-king double bed and an en-suite bathroom with jacuzzi bath, two basins and separate shower.  The second bedroom has a king size bed and it has an ingenious cupboard that opens to provide a third bed, making it ideal for 3 children. This bedroom also has an en-suite shower room.  The living room has comfy, soft seating and a large open fire with stone surround. The open plan kitchen is fully equipped and the dining table easily seats six people.

If that wasn’t enough the apartment also has a shared 8m indoor swimming pool and sauna as well as a dedicated parking space if you decide to drive out. Just like those little gift wrapped boxes at Christmas, wonderful things come in small sizes.
