The Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall has announced it is set to launch a pop-up chalet in St Anton, Austria next year.
The company has launched a partnership with Kaluma Ski in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Watergate Bay’s “ski resort on the beach” vision.
The pop-up has 10 en suite rooms and a series of spacious living areas, including a large living room and bar with open fireplace, dining room, TV snug, private sauna and massage rooms for up to 27 guests.
A Watergate Bay Hotel and Kaluma Ski concierge will be based at Chalet Montfort throughout guests’ stays, to help them get the most from their time in the mountains.
This announcement is part of a wider year of events celebrating Watergate Bay’s unique ‘ski resort on a beach’ vision, following on from the free-to-attend family festival ‘Arts on the Beach’ this June.
More events will be added to the 25th anniversary celebrations in the coming months, with announcements to follow shortly.
Will Ashworth, Watergate Bay Hotel founder and executive director, said: “Growing up, my summers were spent on the beach at Watergate Bay, mainly in the waves – while winters were all about the mountains, making the most of the snow.
“I’ve always felt that there’s a real synergy between the slopes and Watergate. Active days in the elements, relaxed evenings with friends, buzzing culture, quiet moments. It’s all about that unique balance that leaves you feeling energised and calm at the same time. Working closely with Kaluma Ski, we’ve designed an incredible alpine experience that takes all the hassle out of arranging a holiday, giving you more time to focus on what’s important.”
Andy Butterworth, Kaluma Ski, added: “We’re so excited to be able to bring a totally new experience to the Watergate Bay community. From getting together with family and friends in the mountains, to being active in the fresh alpine air and retreating inside to eat and drink well in a stylish and cosy chalet with a knowledgeable host on hand – we’ve put together the ultimate Austrian ski trip for guests to relax into.”
