Nothing transforms winter doldrums into winter magic faster than a stay in a private Swiss chalet. Enhancing the luxury scene in the iconic alpine town of Gstaad, Ultima Collection has introduced Ultima Promenade Gstaad. This sumptuous chalet, set along the town’s historic promenade, was originally built as a private retreat for Prince Karim Aga Khan IV.

Accommodating up to 20 guests, the chalet boasts a generous living room with wraparound balconies and an open fireplace, alongside a dramatic dining room with soaring ceilings. Social and entertainment spaces include a private cinema, cigar lounge, game room and a private disco. Spread across four floors, the residence offers eight luxurious bedroom suites plus a dedicated children’s dormitory.
One entire floor is devoted to wellness and relaxation. Guests can enjoy a sauna, whirlpool, hammam, cooling plunge pool, snow shower and a massage room. There is also a well-equipped fitness gym and an indoor pool, making it easy to maintain routines regardless of the weather. Ultima Collection’s wellness team arranges personalized training sessions, curated wellness programs and signature spa treatments using premium product lines.

Throughout the chalet, luxurious materials have been selected and crafted to create a refined alpine atmosphere: cashmere and silk textiles, hand-finished designer fabrics, bespoke Italian furnishings, teak, marble and bronze accents. To make each stay unique, Ultima Collection collaborates with Artion Galleries to curate artwork tailored to guests’ tastes prior to arrival.
Service at Ultima Promenade Gstaad is highly personalized. The property includes a dedicated house manager, a massage therapist, a private chef, butlers and a chauffeur. For dining options, guests can walk to Ultima Hotel Gstaad next door, which features the first Zuma pop-up restaurant in Switzerland for the winter season. The menu highlights dishes such as spicy beef tenderloin with sesame, red chili and sweet soy, as well as an assortment of fresh sashimi available through in-room dining.
For those who prefer to remain in their private retreat, the chalet team can arrange a curated gastronomy experience prepared by a private Zuma chef, delivered to the comfort of the chalet. Whether seeking family gatherings, wellness-focused escapes or lively evenings with friends, Ultima Promenade Gstaad combines alpine charm, discreet luxury and tailor-made service for an exceptional winter stay.
