Chalet Oberbort, a new ultra-luxury estate in Gstaad, Switzerland, has been announced as the largest private chalet globally, set to span over 7,000 m2 upon its completion in December 2028. This property is part of Unica Capital’s portfolio of exclusive estates and is being positioned as an unrivaled alpine experience, particularly suited for multi-generational family gatherings and luxury winter escapes.

Located in Gstaad’s prestigious ski region, the chalet offers direct ski-in/ski-out access and proximity to high-end amenities, including boutique shopping and Michelin-starred dining, while maintaining complete privacy. The size of the estate accommodates an extensive array of exclusive internal features. These amenities include a private cinema, a Formula 1 simulator, a bowling alley, a dance floor, a cigar lounge, a wine cellar, and a large ski room.

A major highlight is the dedicated 1,500 m2 wellness sanctuary, which features dual thermal pools, a hammam, an alpine sauna, snow showers, a cold plunge pool, and private treatment suites.

The project is presented as representing a shift in how the ultra-wealthy approach travel and ownership. Instead of focusing on permanence, seasonal estates like Oberbort are reserved for special, high-quality family time, blending luxury and privacy. Furthermore, the construction of the chalet is prioritizing sustainability, with the aim to reduce carbon output by 35% and utilize over 70% locally sourced materials, integrating environmental responsibility into the property’s design and lifestyle.
