Travel Goals: 4 Stunning Ski Stays In Europe

SWITZERLAND

It’s a relatively small country but Switzerland packs a punch as a skiing destination; two of the best regarded areas are St Moritz and Verbier.

Badrutt’s Palace Hotel

With over 350 kilometres of slopes, the mountains around St Moritz in Switzerland are known for superb cross-country skiing. The Engadin valley is also home to some of the country’s best runs. The eye-catching, historic Badrutt’s Palace Hotel has a heated outdoor pool and an ice rink, and offers a free transfer to the valley station.

The Lodge

If you enjoy doing your ski trips in a big group, The Lodge is the perfect place to stay. The impressive ninebedroom Swiss chalet can accommodate up to 18 adults in nine bedrooms and up to six children and teens in a specially designed bunkroom. Located in popular Verbier, it’s also only 250 metres from the area’s main ski lifts.

FRANCE

Our focus here is on Courchevel, part of the Trois Vallées (Three Valleys), which together constitute the biggest alpine ski domain in the world.

Cheval Blanc Courchevel

This property in Courchevel offers direct ski-in, ski-out access to the beautiful Trois Vallées, whose 600km of ski slopes include 120km that are ideal for cross-country skiing. Cheval Blanc’s ski ambassadeurs will settle everything for you, from warmed boots to skis, so you can be off in a jiffy. After a long day in the powder, enjoy a relaxing spa treatment and a dip in the hot tub.
