Not only will the quality of each of the guests’ meals will be unsurpassable (imagine, for example, being whisked by helicopter up to a mountain top to watch sunrise, while Phil Howard creates an indulgent breakfast to power your run back down), but these completely unique experiences will be heightened by skiing time on the mountain with the chef, whose own piste ability is exceptional. Guests may choose to have meals prepared and served to them in their chalet, while those wishing to develop their cooking skills may enjoy a private cooking lesson with their chef, learning how to recreate some of those Michelin-worthy dishes at home.
