Guestbook

'Chalet Kernow is one notch above'

'For a luxurious family skiing holiday look no further than this chalet'

Smith tip

Verbier is one of the sunniest resorts in the Swiss Alps and lies in a cauldron-shaped valley, which intensifies the glare off the snow. Chalet Kernow provides its guests with a daily skiing kit, including the all-important sun screen. You can also book tanning treatments if you get those telltale ‘panda eyes’ – alternatively, keep your sunglasses on at all times.
