About the resort

View all 6 photos

The moment the helicopter skims over the Southern Alps and settles into an alpine meadow, Minaret Station Alpine Lodge announces itself as something far beyond a typical mountain escape. Hidden at the head of a glacial valley, this extraordinarily remote retreat pairs cinematic scenery with a level of access and privacy few properties on earth can match. With just four sheepskin-carpeted chalets, each with its own deck and hot tub, the lodge feels deeply personal and quietly indulgent. Days unfold through bespoke heli-adventures—picnics on high plateaus, skiing or biking from remote peaks, jet boating across wild lakes, and fishing crystalline rivers—before returning for gourmet all-inclusive dining, then fireside hours in the cozy library and lounge.
