The chalet is in Zermatt, a ski town in the southern, German-speaking part of Switzerland, just north of the Italian border. The chalet is available for rent in week-long increments, according to its website. While the chalet is booked up for many of the remaining winter weekends, it is still available for some at a cool starting price point of US$45,000 a week.
The World Ski Awards looks at the best ski chalet – among other categories, like Best Ski Resort – in each of the world’s top 25 ski tourism countries. Votes are then cast by professionals working in the ski industry. Chalet Les Anges, with its 2017 and 2018 wins, unseated the 2016 winner, Canada’s Bighorn Revelstoke. Here's a look at the Swiss chalet: The Chalet Les Anges is located in Zermatt, a famous ski resort town in the Swiss Alps. It offers spectacular views of one of Europe’s most iconic peaks, the Matterhorn …
