Cordee Des Alpes Hotel & Residence

Hotel Overview

Designed with both International and local architects who have extensive knowledge and experience of building in the region, using the finest local materials and finishings, La Cordées design will reflect the Alpine environment and flavours which make Verbier so unique. 

When you arrive at La Cordée you will see an authentic canvas rucksack, wooden ice axe and leather climbing boots used by climbers during what was probably the most exciting era of European alpinism. Over 100 years ago, every summer climber from all over Europe arrived in the Alps to attempt to summit unconquered mountains peaks. With them would arrive the Alps first tourists, spectators and walkers with travel trunks keen to enjoy summer in the Alps. 

The first hotels were built and the Swiss began developing their unparalleled sense of service and the alpine holiday experience was born. Shortly after, skiing became a sport, the first lifts were installed and ski holidays became the winter holiday of choice for Europe’s elite.
