This season, Powder Byrne celebrates 30 years of experience and knowledge in luxury ski holidays. The company, founded by Rory Byrne, has cemented its reputation in the ski travel industry and knows the UK market inside out. Since 2006, Powder Byrne has been able to use its consumer insight into the ski traveller to design and create exclusive properties to buy, which truly reflect what people want from their dream ski home…

For the ultimate investment this season that will be enjoyed by the whole family; Powder Byrne Properties offers the rare and exciting opportunity to buy a dream Alpine home in the postcard-perfect resort of Arosa in Switzerland. The new project - Chesa Araus - comprises of nine luxury boutique apartments for sale now and for completion in 2016.

The exciting project offers prospective buyers the opportunity to invest in expertly designed boutique properties in one of Switzerland’s finest mountain resorts. The nine freehold two and three bedroom apartments are built to the highest specification standards and offer buyers complimentary membership to the Swiss Owners Collection - allowing access to exclusive Powder Byrne resort services (including a bespoke management service to assist with the day-to-day running of the property) and renting out the apartments to like minded people when owners are not in residence.

Each apartment has spacious entertaining areas, open fireplaces, designer kitchens and breath-taking views over Arosa while communal specifications include a luxurious ‘Boot Room’ with an honesty bar, a private gym and a wellness area with sauna and steam room.

The company’s experienced architectural and design team has used the balance of local natural materials and high tech appliances to create the perfect Alpine pied-à-terre. Powder Byrne’s focus on high-spec design, combined with the company’s in depth knowledge and experience in the property market in Switzerland, ensures that purchasing the dream Alpine home from home is an enjoyable and hassle-free experience. As a “true investment to enjoy”, the owners and their families are also able to cover running costs by renting through Powder Byrne to like-minded people. With 30 years of experience, the experts at Powder Byrne Properties encourage just two to three weeks of rental each year, allowing owners to cover the majority of their running and financing costs for the apartment while not over-using the property through continuous and careless rentals. Planned effectively with guidance from the team, the owners of an apartment in Chesa Araus will be able to ski virtually free for 10 years and enjoy a high-quality product throughout its lifespan.

Chesa Araus’ prime location in Arosa means owners have spectacular uninterrupted south facing mountain views and can enjoy everything Arosa has to offer as a popular year-round destination. The picturesque and charming Swiss village is located at the end of the beautiful Schanfigger Valley surrounded by the stunning Graubünden mountains and only two and a half hours from Zurich airport. The destination benefits from long sunny days throughout the year and an outstanding snow record in winter. It has been a ski destination for almost 100 years, popular with European royals and celebrities, and it now has 225kms of piste skiing, making it one of the largest ski areas in Switzerland thanks to a new and exciting peak-to-peak link with the neighbouring resort of Lenzerheide.

Chesa Araus properties are now on sale off-plan with prices between CHF 995,000 - CHF 4,000,000
(c. £650,000 - £2,600,000) and will be completed by early 2016.
