Celebrity spotting season has begun in the Alpine resort of Verbier, with celebrity chef and Great Britiish Bake Off Judge Paul Hollywood spotted on an alpine retreat with girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam.

The couple have been staying at the luxury Chalet d'Adrien, and have reportedly been seen using the spa facilities, taking snowy walks, and spending afternoons on the slopes. Verbier is well know for the celebrities that visit, and singer James Blunt is a regular face, with his own chalet in resort. Blunt is also co-owner of the Le Vache restaurant with England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio and superbike racer Carl Foggarty, and even managed to have a lift named after him. Adventurer and TV star Bear Grylls can also be spotted in Verbier, often spending much of the season in residence in his private chalet with family and friends. Of course most Verbier locals are now accustomed to seeing Virgin founder Richard Branson in town. The down-to-earth billionaire can even sometimes be spotted in local pubs such as Pub Mont Fort.

Possibly some of the most well-known celebrities around the world, the Royals, are regular visitors to Verbier. Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson own an incredible £13 million chalet here, with Andrew living in Verbier for a large chunk of the year. In recent years Prince William and Kate have been spotted dancing away in Farinet nightclub, the town’s most exclusive bar. So, if you want to rub shoulders with the rich and famous while enjoying some of the best snow in Europe, as well as its royally famous nightlife, book your Verbier holiday this season.
