Celebs choose VIP SKI

POSTED: Tue June 25, 2013

Britain's golden girl cyclist Victoria Pendleton has now retired from the sport after impressing us all with her gold medal win at the Velodrome in the London 2012 Olympics. We were thrilled in February when she chose VIP SKI for her winter holiday in Verbier.

Victoria stayed with us in Chalet Tortin - one of our two 3 bedroom chalets in Verbier. In an enviable location just 3 minutes’ walk from the Medran lift and a little further to the resort centre. Chalet Tortin offers perfect accommodation ….for celebs!

Some of our other sports celeb guests have included Darren Gough, Sally Gunnel and David Gower.
