Hip Chalets is a company dedicated to providing ski holidays with a stylish twist combined with a standard of service for even the most discerning of customers.

We operate in the Chamonix valley (Mont Blanc), with 16 years of experience in the Alps. We also operate in Ibiza during the summer as Hip Holidays Ltd.

Hip Chalets Ltd. is run by renowned artist and designer Jamie Strachan – formerly British no1 free ride skier and his model fiancé and former Swedish rock-climbing champion, Julia Bergklint.

Since the company started in November 2006, Hip Chalets has catered for over 500 guests in its boutique styled chalets and establishments. This winter the focus is even stronger on delivering the ultimate alpine experience in chalets that provide something extra special for hip alpine adventurers.

Our outstanding concierge service will help you find the best mountain guides, ski instructors, nannies, VIP tables and restaurant bookings, as well as night-time ski-doo excursions, Huski sledging, Heli skiing, Spa trips and much, much more.


Celebrities

Among our happy clients are Kylie Minogue, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Caprice.


What makes a 'hip' chalet?

In a few words, “hip” can mean stylish, chic, fashionable, well designed or cool. That means us taking time when choosing our chalets so that they fit at least one or all of these conditions.

We don’t settle for anything that lacks the characteristics of a hip chalet. Old or new, our chalets must pass the test!

When a client steps through the door to one of our chalets for the first time, they need to feel an instant warmth and connection to the space in the same way that we do. We really know what our discerning clients are looking for.

We both have traveled to the four corners of the earth with our skis. We have skied in some of the most exotic locations imaginable, from the north island of Hokido in Japan to heli skiing in New Zealand and even first descents in Alaska.

But we haven’t found anywhere on the planet that can match the diversity and richness of the European Alps. This is why we choose to live in the heart of the Alps, the Mecca for Alpine sports - Chamonix.

We look forward to welcoming you this season and  sharing the secrets and joys of this enchanting and inspiring valley!


With kind regards.. 


Jamie & Julia
