Swiss tennis star Roger Federer recently bought a home in the Swiss village of Valbella, part of the large Lenzerheide-Valbella ski area in the canton of Graubunden.
Federer (27), who lost his world number one place to Raphael Nadal after five years has won 13 grand slam titles and earned more than $40m during his career to date. He owns other properties in Switzerland and a condo in Dubai.
Lenzerheide-Valbella has nearly 100 miles of (155km) of piste and is due to add nearly half as much terrain again for winter 2009-10 with the completion of a ski link to the neighbouring resort of Arosa, already included on a shared lift ticket.
