Luxury Ski Holiday Deals
Top luxury ski resorts in Europe
It's almost impossible to look past the Alps when thinking about the world’s most luxurious resorts. If a high-end, exclusive experience from start to finish is at the top of your dream holiday wishlist, here are some of Erna Low's top luxury ski resort recommendations:
- St. Moritz, Switzerland
It's almost mandatory to mention St. Moritz in any luxury ski resort lowdown. This iconic resort has been a playground for the rich and famous for decades – and with designer boutiques, gourmet dining and 5-star hotels where absolutely every wish and whim is catered for aplenty, it’s pretty easy to see why! The slopes are equally as impressive thanks to St. Moritz’s pristine pistes and reliable snow coverage that provides a fun challenge for skiers of all levels and abilities. Once you’ve had your fill of snow-time for the day, get tired muscles ready for another round of action in a thermal spa or sip a glass of champagne by the fire at one of the resort’s numerous high-end bars. - Courchevel 1850, France
Courchevel 1850 is often referred to as the sparkly jewel of the impressive Three Valleys, and it’s not hard to understand why! The resort is awash with exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants, lavish chalets with private spas and even 6-star hotels. The slopes are incredible, with the interconnected ski area accounting for over 600km of pistes, 337 runs, 4 glaciers and 180 ski lifts. And if that wasn’t enough, the luxury ski-in, ski-out accommodation options make getting to the slopes super-easy; because walking in ski boots is so last season! - Lech, Austria
In short, Lech blends authentic, old-world charm with modern elegance. Looking like something you’d seen inside a snow globe (okay, not the best analogy but you get the idea!), this highly picturesque resort has elegant 5-star hotels, chocolate box chalets and a low-key luxe vibe that screams VIP; perhaps just some of the qualities that have attracted some of the world's most esteemed royals, including the Princess of Wales, to the resort for their winter getaway. The Arlberg ski area delivers an incredible selection of varied terrain; perfect for experienced skiers and freeriders looking for a larger area to explore. Plus, don’t miss the chance to stop and refuel in one of the gourmet mountain huts for a taste of private luxury during a full day on the hill.
Beyond the slopes: Luxury après-ski
Whether you’re looking for luxury or not, skiing and après-ski go together like skis and ski boots! From table-top dancing with perpetual champagne showers to a low-key night out sitting by the fireside while listening to live jazz music, luxury après-ski is the proverbial cherry on top of an unforgettable trip. Here are some of the resorts in France, Austria and Switzerland that we think take après-ski to a whole new level.
- St. Anton, Austria
Part of the incredible interconnected Ski Alberg area, St Anton is one of the Alps’ top-tier destinations for jaw-dropping skiing, high-end holiday-making comforts and an epic “party-till-the-early-hours” atmosphere. In particular, St. Anton’s après-ski scene is the stuff of legends. MooserWirt and Krazy Kanguruh are two of the most notorious party venues this side of the Alps, both of which serve up a great selection of beers, signature shots and live music. If you’re after something a little more toned down, check out the Hazienda Bar for some expertly crafted cocktails. - Verbier, Switzerland
If there’s anything Verbier definitely knows how to do in style, it’s apres-ski! Voted the Best Après Ski Bar Worldwide by ‘Which”, Verbier combines world-class skiing with unmissable late-night partying, making it a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun-filled winter adventure. The famous Farinet Lounge Bar is a particular highlight, which serves up live bands, a high-energy crowd and over 30 signature cocktails! W Hotel’s terrace offers laidback vibes and jaw-dropping sunset views, while Verbier’s luxury chalets and spas provide the ultimate private luxury experience – perfect for enjoying a quiet evening with friends over a few cheeky glasses of wine. - Val d’Isère, France
Of course, we had to mention Val d’Isère in our round-up of epic après-ski action! Located well above 2,000m, a visit to the infamous (and original) Le Folie Douce will make you feel like you’re partying on top of the world. But be warned – the altitude has been known to cause a little dizziness, especially after a few beers and signature shots! Back down in resort, there are plenty of wine bars, restaurants and spa hotels serving up a touch of after-hours luxury.
Luxury ski holidays for the family
![[EL_AltText_Deals3]](https://cdn2.ernalow.co.uk/images/landing/deals/EL3.jpg)
Treating your family to an indescribable luxury ski holiday is about more than just skiing – it’s about creating memories you’ll talk about for years to come. Europe is home to some incredible family-friendly luxury ski resorts that offer the perfect blend of fun slopes to play on, enjoyable off-hill activities and all the holiday-making facilities you could want from a luxury winter getaway with your favourite people. Here are some top picks:
- Méribel
Part of the impressive Three Valleys ski area, Méribel is an idyllic option for families seeking luxury along with “picture-perfect” Alpine charm. Up to 600km of interconnected slopes to explore means there are plenty of wide and spacious slopes for beginners as well as more challenging terrain for experienced skiers. In other words, there is more than enough for the entire family to enjoy. You’ll also find luxury chalets that come with private spas, indoor pools and catered dining. Take us there now! - Alpbach, Austria
Alpbach is a fantastic choice if you’re after a quieter resort with a picture-postcard-worthy resort centre. Known for its charming alpine architecture and welcoming atmosphere, it really is a hidden gem for families looking for a great place to ski. The resort is really well set up for beginner and intermediate skiers, with plenty of easy runs to practise on and excellent ski schools that cater for little children. Luxury hotels in Alpbach often include wellness facilities, kids’ play areas and family suites, ensuring everyone in the family has enough space to unwind. - Crans-Montana, Switzerland
Crans-Montana is a sunny paradise with breathtaking “these-can’t-be-real” views and a relaxed vibe that’s ideal for families. It boasts plenty of wide, easy slopes for kids and beginner skiers, plus fun activities like snow tubing and ice hockey for the little ones to enjoy when there aren’t two planks strapped to their feet! The resort is packed with high-end accommodation options that offer everything from private chefs to heated pools and playrooms. For grown-ups, there’s boutique shopping, fine dining and even a round of snow golf if you’re feeling up to it.
Luxury resorts with challenging pistes for advanced skiers
For the more experienced skiers among you, you’re no doubt looking for steeper red runs, black slopes and off-piste terrain to pit your wits and skills against. Luckily for you, Europe has no shortage of luxury resorts that offer a fun challenge alongside premium 5-star accommodation, gourmet food and epic après-ski. Here are some of the best luxury resorts for advanced skiers:
- St. Anton, Austria
St. Anton is so good; it made our lowdown of best resorts twice! Known as being legendary (yep, there’s that word again!) for its varied terrain and vibrant après-ski scene, the Valluga area is an absolute playground for experienced skiers thanks to its adrenaline-inducing off-piste runs. With its steep gradient and technical sections, the Kandahar black run is a particular highlight to tick off your bucket list. After an exhausting yet rewarding day of thrills, unwind in a luxury chalet or enjoy a few cheeky beers in the lively bars – as we’ve already mentioned, Mooserwirt is iconic for a reason. - Chamonix, France
While Chamonix is arguably not quite as high-end as other resorts, there is still something very chic and stylish about this resort. And, honestly, Chamonix’s off-piste notoriety is the stuff of legends. If you’re after a challenge, make a beeline for the Grands Montets area to test out its powder bowls, steep descents and narrow couloirs. The infamous Vallée Blanche is another backcountry highlight, offering an incredible glacier descent complete with a 2800 vertical drop! Seriously, try it only if you dare... - St. Moritz, Switzerland
St. Moritz is luxury skiing at its finest. While known for its glamour, it also boasts some pretty impressive and seriously tough runs. Advanced skiers will be more than happy tackling the steep black pistes on Corviglia or venturing into the off-piste terrain around Diavolezza. Plus, the resort’s high-end hotels, fancy spas and world-class dining make it very easy to balance adventure with indulgence.
Activities for non-skiers in a luxury ski resort
You don’t have to be a skier to make the most of a luxury ski holiday in the Alps. Dotted with world-class spas, 5-star chalets and high-end boutiques, there’s plenty to savour and do in a luxury ski resort. Here are some ideas of things to do:
- Relax and unwind in a spa
It’s no surprise that many luxury ski resorts are home to some of the best spas and wellness centres in the world. From the soothing thermal baths in St. Moritz to the serene wellness havens in Megève, you’ll find everything from dreamy massages to mineral-rich pools perfect for soaking in after a long and tiring day on the hill. - Shop ‘till you drop
Resorts like Cortina d’Ampezzo and St. Moritz are renowned for their designer boutiques, independent shops and art galleries. Wander through elegant cobbled streets, browse the latest designer drops or pick up a unique souvenir that means you’ll bring a piece of the Alps home with you. - Soak up the jaw-dropping scenery
Luxury ski resorts offer some of the most incredible landscapes in Europe. Seriously, you’ll need to pinch yourself to see if they’re real. Enjoy scenic walks, snowshoeing trails or even horse-drawn sleigh rides. The Dolomites, for instance, provide a jaw-dropping backdrop for relaxing days spent exploring or simply admiring the views from a cosy café.
