Skyfall Penthouse is part of a recently completed chalet that stands out as the first building to be built in the exclusive hamlet of St. Christoph in the last 50 years.
Perched at 1800m in the heart of the majestic Arlberg this mountain home is really outstanding that blends perfectly new and old-world design, with great attention to detail and bespoke furnishings throughout.
Skyfall Penthouse spreads over two floors, it is a true ski-in property, literally set into the mountainside ensuring that returning skiers simply step inside off the slope. Alternatively, the penthouse is accessed by a lift from the ground floor taking you directly into the apartment and to the same point as when you ski into the property.
The entrance area introduces you to the apartment’s continuous theme of rustic charm mixed with contemporary flair. The walls are clad in a visually-stunning and unique design of wooden bricks. To your left is the ski and boot room where century-old re-purposed wood paneling and punchy art and furnishings make a statement. There is also a guest WC here. Beyond the boot room is a single staff bedroom with en-suite shower room. A short passageway leads into the living area or enter the kitchen to the right of the entrance.
The well-equipped kitchen is bright and tastefully completed with dark marble counter-tops and engaging contemporary artworks which adorn one wall. It leads into the dining area and there is the option for these two rooms to be divided by a glass-paneled sliding door, increasing guests’ privacy. The dining table seats ten around a beautiful solid wood table.
Enter the living room through one of two doorways leading off the dining room. This simply gorgeous room features a large open fireplace and offers ample seating in a large L-shaped sofa or one of two elegant arm chairs. The daylight pours into this room through the many windows, which allow breathtaking mountain views. Curtains drawn at night transform it into a lavish and cozy room where to enjoy a glass of champagne and relive the day’s adventures.
A cinema room with a large screen and Apple technology completes the lower floor.
A staircase at the entrance area leads to the sleeping area upstairs where you will also find the Hamman and sauna. The Hamman is a bold design of emerald green mosaic tiles and the sauna is greatly enhanced by the windows providing rejuvenating light and discrete views onto the slopes.
The four bedrooms are thoughtfully located at each corner of this floor each affording views so that no guest can complain. They are accessed by a corridor which forms an open quadrangle that looks down to the living area below.
The first bedroom is a charming double bunk room with en-suite shower room, ideal for children. Next is the beautiful master bedroom which has a fixed king-sized bed and an en-suite bath and shower room with a roll-top bath and a rain shower and double sinks. The bedroom is embellished with photographs and memorabilia from Mount Everest. The third bedroom has a fixed king-sized bed and en-suite bathroom with Antarctica being the chosen theme destination for this room.
The fourth bedroom is a fixed twin room with en-suite bathroom and windows looking down to the ski hill. All rooms have built-in cupboards.
