Winter is officially here, and ski season is in full swing. Planning makes perfect, especially when it comes to the ideal Christmas holiday.
There are two ways to go about a winter vacation, it is either you escape the snow or fully immerse in it, and today’s article is all about the latter. We have our sights set on sharing the perfect luxury winter getaways in the Alps where you can get your annual fix of fresh mountain air, off-piste trails and breathtaking alpine views.
Even though your skiing skills are a bit rusty at the moment, staying at any of the luxury ski hotels on our featured list will offer you an experience that is nothing short of exceptional for when you are spending winter in the European peaks of Austria, France and Switzerland.
AMAN LE MÉLÉZIN, COURCHEVEL, FRANCE
Aman Le Mélézin has been an alpine legend since opening in 1992 and has offered France’s finest all-round ski experience from its breathtaking setting in Courchevel 1850 for exactly three decades. They have just reopened for the ski season last 9 December 2022. This hotel is as much a culinary and wellness destination as it is a renowned ski retreat. They will be celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, marking the occasion in true elegance.
Aman Le Mélézin sits directly on Bellecôte Piste with awe-inspiring mountain and forest vistas, Aman Le Mélézin resides in one of the most desirable locales in Courchevel 1850 in the heart of the Three Valleys. Guests staying in the hotel’s 31 luxurious suites — most with balconies or extensive terraces, several with outdoor cedar hot tubs and all with stellar views — are offered ski-in/ski-out services, as well as a comprehensive wellness sanctuary and a selection of fine dining restaurants and convivial après ski areas. The restaurants include Nama, Aman’s signature Japanese restaurant, and an expansive sun terrace and bar just a short hop away from all the village has to offer.
HOTEL DAS CENTRAL, SÖLDEN, AUSTRIA
This luxury hotel is the perfect winter destination for avid fans of Bond films. Channel your inner 007 and spend your next ski holiday at Hotel Das Central in the Austrian resort of Sölden. The hotel’s iconic ICE Q restaurant that was featured in the 105 Bond film, Spectre, serves martinis shaken not stirred, and offers guests a lovely selection of seasonal dishes while enjoying panoramic views of the Ötztal mountains. There is more for keen Bond fans at the hotel’s museum that is fully dedicated to the world’s greatest spy, or you can take it even further by booking the hotel’s signature 007 experience.
Das central is conveniently located 500 metres away from the slopes and offers guests a private shuttle service to the lift all day, every day. After a day of exhilaration, you can unwind in one of the Luxury Suites, where you can cosy up by an open fireplace in the living room, or plunge into the bubbles of your private jacuzzi on the terrace.
GSTAAD PALACE, GSTAAD, SWITZERLAND
Nestled in the rolling snowy hills of the Bernese Oberland, Gstaad Palace is the ideal destination for a picturesque fairytale winter retreat. The hotel boasts 90 luxurious rooms and suites that are housed in the hotel’s castle towers to provide spectacular panoramic views over the snow-clad peaks and combine elegant contemporary design with alpine cosiness, featuring lavish fur throws and oak furnishings.

For the accomplished skier, there’s the legendary black ‘Tiger Run’ piste on the Wasserngrat, which is accessible by chairlift, or alternatively an endless choice of blue runs which trace the soft inclines of the Eggli. A network of cross-country skiing routes from Sparenmoos to Zweisimmen, through to the beautiful Turbach valley invites visitors to immerse themselves in a wintry landscape.
After an exhilarating day on the slopes, the world-class Gstaad Palace spa offers a world of relaxation with its nine treatment rooms including a new restorative spa garden, indoor swimming pool and outdoor jacuzzi with flawless alpine views.
