Chalet Verwall (pronounced ‘Fair-val’) makes an excellent home for your Esprit ski holiday, and is proving a tremendous hit with Esprit families.

The location simply could not be bettered, at the end of a short, quiet cul-de-sac off Obergurgl’s main street, with the easiest possible access to and from the slopes, and accommodation ideally suited to families, with Suites 3 to 8 inclusive having two separate sleeping areas, private facilities and a small kitchenette.

Just 30m from the chalet’s ski-room door, you can step into your bindings and ski down to the Festkogl gondola – one of the area’s main high-speed lifts, and your best route straight up into the Obergurgl half of the ski area. From here, the choice is yours, either to ski the varied slopes above the village, or to take a blue or red run to the ‘Top Express’ gondola and whizz across to the wide open slopes of Hochgurgl.

The dining-room on the ground floor provides an ideal setting for adult dinner in the evenings, and can be a little snug at breakfast time when we have a full house! The separate lounge is up on the top floor, and with its quirky ‘hobbit-size’ doorway and sloping ceilings, makes for a cosy place to relax in its two connected rooms. Like the comfortable family suites themselves, the dining-room is furnished in traditional Tyrolean style.

Reflecting the chalet’s layout, for the most convivial evening atmosphere (and the least times up and down stairs!), our 4-course adult evening meals here vary slightly from the norm, with a daily cheeseboard as the fourth course, replacing our normal pre-dinner canapés and apéritif.
