High above the Tortin Glacier in the Swiss Alps, Cabane Tortin is not simply a luxury lodge—it’s a feat of altitude, architecture, and ambition.

At 3,000 meters, this secluded retreat offers a rare kind of silence, broken only by the crunch of fresh powder and the whisper of wind across panoramic glass. For high-net-worth travellers who measure luxury not in opulence but in originality, Cabane Tortin is a revelation.

Designed by award-winning Norwegian architect Snorre Stinessen, the structure is a study in elemental elegance. Glass, timber, and stone are composed with surgical precision, framing uninterrupted views of the 4 Vallées ski domain. The 33-foot window that dominates the ground floor is not just a design flourish—it’s a portal to the sublime. Inside, walnut-lined interiors, a glass-encased fireplace, and a moveable master bed allow guests to choose their perspective: stargazing, snowfall, or fireside retreat.

This is not a place for passive luxury. Cabane Tortin is engineered for those who seek motion, mastery, and solitude. Guests are guaranteed first tracks on untouched terrain, with night skiing available after public hours. Days are curated with guided glacier expeditions, while evenings unfold with chef-prepared cuisine, glacier picnics, and the restorative heat of a wood-fired sauna suspended above the valley.

The experience is offered exclusively as a private buyout, accommodating up to six adults and four young adults. At 48,000 CHF for two nights, it’s a price point that speaks to its audience—those who value discretion, rarity, and the kind of luxury that whispers rather than shouts.

Cabane Tortin is also a benchmark in sustainable design. Entirely off-grid, it runs on solar power, uses renewable wood-fired heating, and draws water from its own natural spring. This commitment to minimal environmental impact adds a layer of integrity to its indulgence—a quiet nod to the future of responsible travel.

Since its opening in December 2024, Cabane Tortin has redefined what it means to escape. It’s not a Bond fantasy – it’s something more grounded, more deliberate. Think of it as a sanctuary for strategists, a place where altitude sharpens clarity and isolation breeds insight.

For business travellers who operate at the highest level, this is not just a retreat—it’s a reset. A rare perch above the noise, where decisions are made in the rarefied air of the Alps.

And now, with REYA Communications appointed as the U.S. PR agency of record, Cabane Tortin is poised to connect with a global audience of ultra-discerning travellers who value experience over excess and precision over pomp.
