Top of the range catered chalets are all the rage
Swiss ski resorts have been offering Christmas discounts to counteract the effects of the strong franc and Europe’s financial woes. But the high end chalet business is doing a roaring trade, with some clients paying up to SFr 200,000 ($215,000) per week for catered chalets in resorts such as Verbier, Gstaad and Crans Montana.

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
