Right royal Danes look swish on Swiss slopes
09 February 2007

The Swiss slopes at Verbier continue to attract illustrious guests, as chic Danish royal Princess Mary, 35, descends on the slopes alongside her gorgeous 15-month-old son Christian and husband Frederick, the Crown Prince and heir to the Danish throne.

The Verbier resort is considered a cut above by our own royal family, too Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton have holidayed there, dining at the famous celebrity spot Chez Dany and going on to dance at Farm Club.

New money and old mingle at Verbier, apparently viewed by some Chelsea residents as a 'home from home' with the Sloane set migrating en masse to revel in a thriving apres-ski scene brightened by bars including Mont Fort and Farinet.

Spending opportunities for the more leisured visitor include Rolex and TAG outlets.

Public schoolboy songster James Blunt selected the environs of the resort for a recent property purchase making him a near neighbour of legendary singer Diana Ross.

And best of all, unlike many other European resorts, Verbier is enjoying excellent snow this winter, according to the Times.
