One of the most snow-sure areas of the Alps, the Arlberg region offers extensive skiing and pretty Tyrolean chalets. Red Savannah's portfolio in Arlberg includes: St Anton, where the après-ski scene competes with outstanding skiing; St Christophe, where the Austrian National Ski Team trains and where ski lift capacity exceeds accommodation almost three times over; and Lech, one of the most sought after alpine resorts for its charm and high sunny slopes. One of the prettiest ski destinations, the Swiss resort of Zermatt ticks all of the ski holiday 'must-have' boxes. Despite its growth from traditional alpine farming village to 21st century resort, Zermatt has retained the character that made it a highlight of the 19th century Grand Tour. Marvellous skiing, including excellent off-piste, is complemented by first-class cuisine at some of the best restaurants in Europe.
Examples from the expanded Red Savannah portfolio include:
Skyfall, St Christoph, Arlberg Region, Austria 2 – 5 bedrooms
Brand new for 2014/2015 season, Skyfall is the first, and possibly last, chalet to be built in St Christoph for fifty years due to strict planning regulations. The chalet comprises four separate apartments ranging from two to five bedrooms, which can be rented individually or together for larger parties. Interior design by David Linley uses materials, such as reclaimed Austrian Stone Hearted Spruce, granite floors and worktops, beaten copper splash-backs and stainless steel appliances to create an environment that is at the same time traditional and ultra-cool. Apartment 004 was a winner at the 2014 Design Et Al Awards in 2014. A private cinema and spa occupy guests during downtime and access to the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel grants admittance to the pool, children's club, excellent wine cellar and three restaurants. The sleek and efficient St. Christophbahn lift station is just fifty steps away from the front door.
Apartments 001 and 003 from £8,500 per week for up to 6 guests in winter on a self-catered basis (£6,800 per week during summer).
Apartment 002 from £18,000 per week for up to 10 guests on a self-catered basis (£25,000 on a full service basis).
Apartment 004 from £20,000 per week for up to 11 guests on a self-catered basis (£27,000 on a full service basis).

Chalet Heidi, Zermatt, Switzerland
A radical refurbishment has not spoilt one of Zermatt's most charming apartments. Situated on the first floor of one of Zermatt's original village buildings in the heart of Zermatt, Chalet Heidi has all the character one would expect of an alpine chalet – weathered wood panelling, aged granite walls, wood beamed ceilings and a stone fire stove – but brand new bathrooms, contemporary kitchen, WiFi and modern furnishings add to its desirability.
From £4,274 per week for up to 6 guests on a self-catering basis including a full concierge service.

Heinz Julen Loft, Zermatt, Switzerland 3
Named after its designer, Heinz Julen Loft is an ultra-cool Manhattan loft style apartment with panoramic views over the village. Design uses glass, steel, wood and textured concrete throughout though clever use of throws, leather and wood add warmth. Julen's signature touches are evident in the fireplace cradled in a wall of glass and the brilliant dining table which can be lowered and raised as required via an ingenious pulley. A mezzanine entertainment area is accessed from the massive living-dining room via a beautifully designed steel and glass staircase. Internal and external glass walls create a sense of light and space.
From £6,945 per week for up to 6 guest on a self-catered basis (£9,934 per week on a catered basis) including a full concierge service.
