The Fourth Day Changes Everything: How Ultima Collection Redefines Short Alpine Getaways
When it comes to mountain escapes, dates are usually squeezed tightly between work schedules, deadlines, and flight times. We are used to planning our trips back-to-back, packing maximum activity into a strict timeframe. But what if, right now, during the planning stage, you allowed yourself a little luxury — adding just one extra day to your calendar?
Not to set another record on the slopes. But for that seamless transition, a buffer day that allows you to truly decompress before returning to the city’s hustle. A day when you can wake up without an alarm, enjoy an unhurried breakfast overlooking the mountains, and not worry about checking out in an hour.
The ultra-premium properties of the Ultima Collection make this choice completely natural. This spring and summer, the brand’s iconic hotels — Ultima Courchevel in France and Ultima Gstaad in Switzerland — are offering the exclusive Extended Stay privilege. It is an elegant reason to rethink your plans and gift yourself extra time, as the hotel takes care of this buffer day.

More Than Just a Hotel: The Ultima Collection Philosophy
Why choose Ultima for this kind of getaway? This brand masterfully blurs the lines between the services of a five-star grand hotel and the absolute intimacy of a private residence. There are no noisy lobbies, queues at the reception, or intrusive schedules. Your space is an autonomous world of luxury, where you alone set the pace.
Ultima Hotel Courchevel: Uncompromising Ski-in/Ski-out
The complex is located in the prestigious, sun-drenched Belvédère neighborhood (Courchevel 1650), at an altitude of 1,750 meters. This destination is designed for those who value the sporting dynamics of Les 3 Vallées but refuse to compromise on flawless comfort and privacy.
-
Flawless Location: Direct slope access (ski-in/ski-out) lets you enjoy skiing from the first to the last minute, while in the evening, you can easily reach the social hub of Courchevel 1850 using the hotel’s complimentary shuttle service.
-
Design and Atmosphere: 13 luxury chalets, each offering one to five bedrooms. The interiors blend traditional Alpine wood with marble bathrooms, spacious walk-in dressing rooms, and balconies boasting panoramic mountain views.
-
Gastronomy and Service: Breakfasts are served directly in your residence. This winter, the hotel also offers a unique experience — the In-Chalet Experience by the world-renowned Zuma restaurant, allowing you to enjoy innovative Japanese cuisine in complete seclusion.
The planned extra night via the Extended Stay offer changes the entire rhythm of your departure. You can ski until the lifts close on your final day, calmly return to the hotel, soothe your muscles in one of the complex’s two state-of-the-art spa centers, pack unhurriedly, and head to the airport without the slightest stress, keeping your room right up until you leave.
Ultima Hotel Gstaad: Swiss Luxury and Total Relaxation
If Courchevel is about drive, Gstaad is a manifesto of true hedonism, tranquility, and deep restoration. It is a classic Alpine fairytale, reimagined through the lens of ultra-modern design.
-
Aesthetics and Art: Traditional wooden facades hide a striking combination of textures inside — Baccarat crystal, bronze fireplaces, custom-made furniture, and an impressive collection of contemporary art.
-
Exclusive Accommodation: Spacious suites and luxury residences are designed so that you feel like the only guest in the hotel. Views of the Bernese Alps from your balcony invite long, lingering morning coffees.
-
Ultima Spa: A massive heated pool, innovative treatments by the science-led brand Augustinus Bader, and an on-site Longevity Clinic allow you to spend the day in a state of absolute zen.
The extra day in Gstaad is the perfect buffer before returning to business. Imagine: waking up on the morning you were originally supposed to be on a plane, enjoying a chef-prepared breakfast, spending hours in the spa, and only then, fully recharged, heading home.
FAQ: Frequent Questions About the Extended Stay Offer
Can I use the complimentary night just for a late check-out?
Yes, the room remains entirely at your disposal until your departure. This is an ideal scenario to rest after skiing, take a shower, and comfortably wait for a night flight without needing to sleep over.
Does the offer apply to all room categories?
The Extended Stay privilege applies only to select categories of luxury suites and residences. Availability for this offer must always be confirmed for your specific travel dates.
Do I need to pay extra for spa access on the bonus days?
No, unlimited access to the pools and thermal zones is fully included in your rate throughout your entire stay. Only individual treatments (massages and aesthetics) are billed separately.
Can these offers be combined for longer stays?
The core 4=3 and 7=5 promotions do not stack automatically. If you are planning a trip of 8 nights or more, bespoke conditions are discussed directly during booking.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, the Ultima Collection residences are dog-friendly (a daily fee applies). A bespoke dog bed and bowls will be prepared for your pet. The main requirements are prior approval before arrival and the restriction of animals from spa centers and restaurants.
