Courchevel 1850 is a benchmark of luxury winter getaways, so the Edelweiss chalet exudes the same dazzling opulence. It boasts a ski room which opens onto a piste, and a huge spa with jacuzzi and sauna.
You can’t get closer to the slopes than Oberlech’s ÜberHaus, which plays host to an outdoor hot tub that’s positioned just next to the pistes. Guests can relax in the private bar, wellness area or cinema room.
More Bond-lair than ski chalet, Chalet Zermatt Peak sits above the Matterhorn village; offering sweeping views, utterly sleek furnishings and huge crystal chandeliers, this is a high-impact property at high altitudes.
Pine Lodge Dolomites is a boutique chalet, the brainchild of a Italian hotelier and a British interior designer. The property offers fine views over the village and is only a few metres away from the nearest ski-lift.
With a fleet of staff on hand to cater for guests’ every whim, a wine cellar filled with the finest tipples and a lavish spa, Chalet N ensures skiers can glide right from the snowy slopes of Alberg into paramount luxury.
One Oak’s floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound terrace command views of Mont Blanc. The chalet even comes equipped with its own chef, and has an entire level dedicated to a lavish master bedroom suite.
Fusing rustic charm with upscale style, the SHL chalet in the heart of Méribel has been crafted from ancient wood and has a wine cellar built into the mountain rock. The chalet lies just 60m away from a blue piste.
For those after relaxation rather than recreation on the slopes, head to No.14 in Verbier. It boasts a 10m swimming pool, steam room, a spa replenished with Bamford spa products and an outdoor hot-tub.
The Chalet Kilimanjaro promises nothing less than exclusivity. Not only is it wired with the latest entertainment systems, but it’s also host to a state-of-the-art fitness centre and five huge bedrooms.
Bring the apres-ski activities to your doorstep at Le Petit Palais Chalet, which comes equipped with its own nightclub, a chef and private terrace with views of the Bellecote piste. Perfect for a few sundowners.
