Our Alpine Story
The company was started by a husband and wife team with just one chalet trading under the name of White Mountain Chalets. From these humble origins, we've since grown to become the chalet company in Saint Martin de Belleville, boasting four luxury chalets and counting.
In 2025, the business was acquired and rebranded as Mercury Alpine Chalets. While the original founders have moved on, the core values they established—warm hospitality, attention to detail, and creating unforgettable alpine experiences—remain at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud to continue offering the same trusted service, luxury accommodation, and commitment to excellence that guests have come to expect. The business remains a true family affair with our partners and young families very much part of the team. Whether it's trying out the latest ski hire service with the children or sampling the season’s wine choices, it can be a tough job at times!
Family continues to be at the heart of everything we do. We have the privilege of opening up these beautiful homes to our guests, and creating their very own, mountain-retreat home from home - and one in which every little detail is taken care of. Looking after families, friends and couples, with many of our guests returning year after year; they very much feel like part of our Mercury Alpine family. We strive to offer remarkable holidays in the mountains with a personable and relaxed service provided by our 25 strong team, all within our portfolio of beautiful and luxurious chalets.
A key part of a Mercury Alpine Chalet holiday is our eye for detail, we are obsessed with the little things - the perfect afternoon tea spread, the manic morning ski school rush taken care of and executed with military precision, evening turn-down service as an art, children treated and fed like kings, and service which strikes just the right balance between friendliness and formality. These are some of the secret ingredients that help create the magic of a Mercury Alpine Chalet holiday.
