The Yorks have been enjoying winter holidays in Verbier ever since
the Princesses were little, although it has been reported that Sarah and her
former husband, Prince Andrew, have put their luxury abode, Chalet
Helora, on the market for £18.6m, six years after buying it. The property is
said to boast fantastic views over the Bagnes valley.

The Duchess first visited Verbier, in the canton of Valais, when she was
16 but started skiing at the age of three. She also briefly worked as a chalet
girl before joining the royal family.
Sarah previously told Swiss Newspaper Le Nouvelliste: “Since that
first visit, I have regularly returned for holidays to Verbier. My family has
followed me over the years. We feel free and happy; we feel at home. Anyway, I
call it ‘my home.”
The Duchess launched her Storytime
With Fergie And Friends YouTube channel at the start of the first
lockdown in 2020. The project sees her reading a traditional children’s story
daily, as well as sharing arts and crafts ideas and fun recipes.
