The complex – which will measure 7,000 sqm – will cost between £11million and £13million to rent out per year and is due to be built by 2028 and will host the ‘ultra rich’
The world’s largest ski chalet aimed at the super rich is being built in the Alps by a former Miss World’s husband. Swiss property tycoon Byron Baciocchi, 36, is developing a lavish private mountain residence in the upscale resort town of Gstaad in Switzerland.
It is reportedly within easy reach of Gstaad Mountain rides ski area, private airfields, Michelin-starred dining and luxury boutiques. Baciocchi – whose partner is Czech model and beauty queen Krystyna Pyszková, who won Miss World in 2023 – said he was targeting “ultra-high-net-worth individuals” with his new venture.
It will cost a cool 12m to 14m Swiss francs (£11m to £13m) per year to rent out and likely be complete by 2028.
The complex will measure a staggering 7,000 square metres spread across three interconnecting buildings with 11 en-suite bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and eight staff bedrooms. Speaking to The Telegraph, Baciocchi said: “Privacy, safety and year-round lifestyle continuity are now top priorities.
“As a discreet Alpine enclave with world-class skiing and consistently strong property values, it offers exactly the kind of rare, high-quality asset today’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals are seeking.”
Baciocchi, who welcomed daughter Aurora in September with his model partner, expects Royal families and billionaire tech founders to be likely candidates to rent the chalet – to be called Chalet Oberbort.
He said there was a growing demand among the super wealthy for “seasonal estates” where family can gather in the winter.
Included in the chalet will be a 1,500 square metre “wellness sanctuary” with dual thermal pools, a Middle Eastern-style hammam steam room, alpine sauna, snow showers, a cold plunge and private treatment suites.
An entertainment wing will feature a private cinema, Formula 1 simulator, dance floor, bowling alley, wine cellar, cigar lounge and ski room.
Baciocchi founded his first company at 21 before co-founding Ultima Capital with French billionaire Max-Hervé George in 2012.
He sold his stake to Luxembourgian investment group in 2023 in a deal worth $1.4bn (£1bn).
He then founded popery investment firm Unica Capital in 2021 which has since a amassed a property portfolio worth £630m.
As well as Gstaad, the property tycoon is also developing luxury villas and chalets in locations such as Geneva and Crans-Montana, another region of the Swiss alps.
