It’s that time of year again when the jury is out as the votes stack up for the World Ski Awards. The public votes close on Friday September 22, so please go follow the links below and vote! Remember hospitality industry and journalist votes count five times the wait of any other vote. The competition, now in its fifth year, celebrates the very best of the international ski industry. Bramble Ski and Haute Montagne have more nominations than ever before and are incredibly proud to have such broad representation. Over the next two weeks, we’ll give you a closer look at the various categories in which we feature, kicking off today with Austria’s Best Ski Chalet, where we have three exceptional chalets represented: Überhaus, Chalet 1597, and Chalet Maria Schnee.

The exceptional Überhaus has been nominated Austria’s Best Ski Chalet in the World Ski Awards for the past two years. And as the 2017 World Ski Awards draws ever nearer, we’re hoping to make this year a hat-trick. We’ll need your help with this.

Chalet 1597 has taken the crown in previous ceremonies, and has been nominated again this year, alongside Chalet Maria Schnee in St. Anton. Below, we take a closer look at the Austrian ski chalet nominees for this year.

Überhaus

ÜberhHaus is two-time previous winner of this prestigious award. Perched proudly on the side of the piste in the sought-after Oberlech enclave, you will find a ski chalet to rival all other chalets in the region. Überhaus is a prestigious luxury residence, four floors of pure indulgence, and one of Lech’s finest architectural feats.

Überhaus is all about relaxation and wellbeing; a private spa, complete with sauna, hammam and massage room, as well as fitness and entertainment areas are just some of the standout features.

Sumptuous suites and bedrooms offer ten adults and four children the chance to sleep in pure comfort every night. Its elevated on-piste location ensures panoramic views of the mountains, and a stunning outdoor hot tub allows guests to relax their aching muscles after a long day on the slopes.

Chalet 1597

Originally built in – yes, you guessed it! – 1597, this incredible chalet has been lovingly refurbished with no attention to detail spared. One of the finest chalets in Lech, this enchanting property is designed with comfort and luxury in mind. Antique pieces, indulgent furnishings and fabrics, and traditional features come together to create a chic yet dramatic alpine home.

The chalet sleeps 12 people in five bedrooms – perfect for large families or groups of friends. Relax on the terrace and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, take in the latest blockbuster in the private cinema room, or explore the chalet’s traditional stone cave wine cellar.

Chalet 1597 has previously won the award of Austria’s Best Ski Chalet.

Chalet Maria Schnee

The wonderful standalone Chalet Maria Schnee, is a unique development situated in St. Anton. A perfect blend of traditional alpine architecture, modern art, and amenities make it the ideal winter retreat for family and friends.

Spread across three floors, Maria Schnee comfortably sleeps 15 people in seven bedrooms. A sunken living room allows guests to relax by a wood-burning fireplace, or sit around the huge dining table to enjoy a sumptuous five-course feast. A dedicated cinema room, hammam, sauna, spa, and range of mod-cons make this chalet the perfect mountain home for any Austrian ski adventure.

A vote for Austria’s finest

Austria has seen a surge of luxury properties in recent years, yet very few rival the majesty of chalets such as Überhaus, Maria Schnee, and Chalet 1957. And with ski resorts like Lech and St. Anton becoming increasingly popular, Bramble Ski and Haute Montagne are excited to be a part of their growth.

We are delighted to represent these luxury ski chalets in Austria in the World Ski Awards this year, an event which celebrates and rewards excellence in the ski property industry. A warm thank you to everyone who has already voted!
