Unica Capital unveils its most ambitious alpine project to date, Chalet Oberbort, Gstaad – a landmark estate that sets a new global benchmark for private mountain residences. Located in Gstaad’s coveted Oberbort enclave, this landmark development spans more than 7,000m2, positioning it as the world’s largest chalet and a singular achievement in design-led alpine architecture.
Conceived as a living sculpture embedded in the snowy slopes of Switzerland’s most prestigious ski destination, Chalet Oberbort is not simply a property, it is an immersive expression of scale, materiality and serenity. Designed with uncompromising attention to detail, the estate comprises three interconnected chalets, 19 ensuite bedrooms, a 1,500m² wellness sanctuary, and a rare constellation of curated ultra-luxury amenities.
An Architectural Statement for a Global Elite
Nestled within Gstaad’s Oberbort district – a discreet haven for royalty, visionaries and cultural icons – Chalet Oberbort occupies one of the most sought-after addresses in the Swiss Alps. The site offers panoramic mountain views, unrivalled privacy, and immediate proximity to Michelin-starred dining, luxury boutiques, and international schools. With nearby private airfields, the residence is accessible year-round for both winter and summer alpine seasons.
A Design Rooted in Landscape and Legacy
Inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region and shaped by contemporary sensibilities, the chalet’s design language blends aged timber, brushed bronze, locally quarried stone, and tactile natural textiles. The interiors reflect Unica Capital’s philosophy, prioritizing warmth, proportion and depth, where soaring ceilings and subtle lighting engage bespoke joinery, artisan finishes and carefully curated spatial rhythms to create a haven for the senses.
The architectural vision embraces both permanence and poetry: a retreat built to endure, while honoring the fleeting beauty of alpine light, snow and silence.
At Unica Capital, design and wellness are not merely aesthetic, but essential principles shaping every element of luxury living. Guided by a commitment to sustainable architecture, the use of natural and locally sourced materials, and profound respect for the landscape and privacy.
A Sanctuary of Wellness and Restoration
At Chalet Oberbort, wellness is more than a feature – it's a way of life. Anchored by 1,500m² spa and fitness center, the chalet offers an immersive retreat where restoration is woven into the everyday. From thermal pools and snow showers to a hammam, sauna and treatment suites, each element is designed to rebalance the body and mind. This philosophy extends throughout the home, where organic gardens, indoor-outdoor flow, and calming palettes foster a deep connection to nature. For Unica Capital, true luxury lies in how a space makes you feel – and here, wellness is felt from the moment one arrives.
A New Standard of Ultra-Luxury Living
Helmed by Swiss billionaire entrepreneur Byron Baciocchi, Unica Capital understands the evolving expectations of today’s most discerning clientele – those who seek more than design, but a lifestyle elevated in every dimension. At Chalet Oberbort, luxury is deeply personal. The residence combines the privacy and comfort of a home with the curated experiences of a private resort. A dedicated entertainment wing features a private cinema, Formula 1 simulator, dance floor, bowling alley, wine cellar, cigar room and ski room – all thoughtfully designed for effortless enjoyment. For Byron, luxury is about anticipating desire – and delivering it with precision, purpose and a sense of play. Chalet Oberbort - Gstaad is the embodiment of that vision.
“With Chalet Oberbort, we set out to create more than a residence – we wanted to evoke a sense of quiet majesty. It's a space where architectural form, emotional atmosphere and material integrity come together,” said Byron Baciocchi, Chairman and CEO at Unica Capital. “It reflects our belief that true luxury is how a space makes you feel – not just what it contains.”
