Chalet Oberbort: A New Icon of Alpine Grandeur in Gstaad
High above the storied slopes of Gstaad, a new icon of alpine living has emerged. Chalet Oberbort, unveiled by Unica Capital, is a landmark achievement that redefines both scale and sensibility in mountain residences. Spanning more than 7,000 square metres, the estate is officially recognised as the world’s largest private chalet, setting a new global benchmark for contemporary alpine luxury.
Situated in Gstaad’s coveted Oberbort enclave, a discreet address long favoured by royalty, cultural icons and global tastemakers, Chalet Oberbort enjoys sweeping mountain views, exceptional privacy and seamless access to the village’s Michelin starred dining, luxury boutiques and international schools. With nearby private airfields, the residence is effortlessly accessible year round, serving both winter ski seasons and summer alpine retreats.
A Living Sculpture in the Swiss Alps
Conceived as a living sculpture embedded within the alpine landscape, Chalet Oberbort is not merely a residence but an immersive experience of space, materiality and calm. The estate comprises three interconnected chalets, unified through a masterful architectural vision that balances grandeur with intimacy. Within, 19 ensuite bedrooms including 11 principal suites and eight premium staff bedrooms are arranged across expansive volumes defined by soaring ceilings, natural light and a refined spatial rhythm.
The architectural language is rooted in regional heritage while confidently contemporary. A rich palette of aged timber, brushed bronze, locally quarried stone and tactile natural textiles creates interiors that feel both grounded and elevated. Bespoke joinery, artisan finishes and nuanced lighting frame each space, allowing the architecture to honour the fleeting beauty of alpine light, snow and silence.
Unica Capital’s commitment to sustainability is intrinsic to the project, expressed through locally sourced materials, enduring craftsmanship and a profound respect for the surrounding landscape and privacy.
Wellness as a Way of Life
At the heart of Chalet Oberbort lies a 1,500 square metre wellness and fitness sanctuary that elevates wellbeing into a daily ritual. Designed as a holistic retreat, the spa features dual thermal pools, snow showers, a hammam, an alpine sauna, cold plunge facilities and private treatment suites. Throughout the residence, calming palettes, organic gardens and seamless indoor outdoor flow foster a deep connection to nature.
Here, wellness is not an amenity but a philosophy, felt from the moment of arrival and carried through every corner of the home.
A Private Resort Experience
Chalet Oberbort establishes a new standard for ultra luxury living by combining the discretion of a private residence with the curated experiences of an exclusive resort. A dedicated entertainment wing includes a private cinema, Formula One simulator, bowling alley, dance floor, wine cellar, cigar room and ski room, each space designed for effortless enjoyment and refined leisure.
Swiss billionaire entrepreneur Byron Baciocchi, Chairman and CEO of Unica Capital, describes the vision succinctly: “With Chalet Oberbort, we set out to create more than a residence. We wanted to evoke a sense of quiet majesty, a place where architectural form, emotional atmosphere and material integrity come together. True luxury is how a space makes you feel, not simply what it contains.”
An Alpine Benchmark
Available for limited seasonal use in both summer and winter, Chalet Oberbort stands as the purest expression of Unica Capital’s design led philosophy and deep understanding of modern ultra high net worth lifestyles. Defined not only by its unprecedented scale but by its restraint, serenity and emotional depth, it represents a new reference point for contemporary mountain living.
