Kareena-Saif stay together in 300 year old Swiss chalet
The eco-friendly couple will be staying in a 300-year-old chalet that runs on solar energyKareena Kapoor loves being eco-friendly. She left last night for Switzerland on a 10-day trip with beau Saif Ali Khan.
The couple will be staying at a chalet-hut owned by the Gstaad Palace which runs on solar energy.
Says a source, "Bebo and Saif believe in preserving the eco-system in their own way. Last year, she had promoted eco-friendly handbags. Every year, they re-cycle their fir trees during Christmas.
This year, Kareena and Saif will be staying for a few days at the Gstaad Palace in Switzerland and then shift to a wooden hut (the Walig Hut) built like a small 18th century chalet at 5000 feet above sea level.
The 300-year old hut has been carefully restored with basic plumbing and solar-powered electric lighting. Saif loves skiing, so every year the couple have been spending their New Year's on the Swiss Alps."
The chalet-hut is very expensive costing over £1, 000 per night for two adults. This includes a sumptuous three-course meal with wine and champagne.
The chalet hut where Saif and Kareena will be stayingThe hut's back-to-nature experience is an attraction to people who normally live their lives in comfort.

A wide variety of activities such as golf, heli-skiing, hot-air-ballooning et al are available near the hotel."

Before leaving for Switzerland, Kareena took an entire day off from work and spent it with her dad Randhir Kapoor.

33 on January 1: Vidya Balan stays home on birthday
Vidya Balan spends her 33rd birthday with her parentsVidya Balan turns 33 on January 1. The actress plans on bringing in her birthday and the new year at her parents' place in Khar.
Initially, she was planning to spend the special day with friends, but given the fact that she's been on the road promoting No One Killed Jessica for the last few weeks, Balan wants to be with her mom and dad.
A source close to Vidya says, "She's been in and out of Mumbai for the last six months. Earlier she was shooting for Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani for almost two months.
After that she got into the promotion of Jessica travelling to almost every major city. Her schedule hasn't given her any chance to spend time with her parents."
Since her birthday and New Year fall on the same day, Vidya has a double reason to celebrate.
Despite buying a new apartment in Khar, the actress wasn't able to renovate the place or spend time in it. Her New Year resolution is to buy some antique furniture and do up her place.
Every year, Vidya prefers to keep her birthday a low-key affair. Rather than go out with friends, she enjoys spending quality time with her parents. "This year will be no different.
She will bring in her birthday and the new year at her parents' house. Since she doesn't believe in cutting a cake, her mom plans to prepare a sweet dish on the occasion."
After the release of No One Killed Jessica, Vidya plans to start preparing for her next film Balaji's Dirty Pictures based on the life of Silk Smitha.
