The Best Luxury Ski Resorts For Winter 2023/2024

Courchevel 1850

Courchevel 1850 needs little introduction. Earning a reputation as one of the most luxurious ski resorts, this alpine village has glamour and wealth in abundance. If you really want the true Courchevel experience, land by private jet at Courchevel’s Altiport, right on the slopes. It’s one way to make an entrance.

Whilst most people come to Courchevel for the skiing, thanks to its easy access to the Three Valleys, and the high number of luxury ski-in/ski-out chalets, off the slopes there is plenty to keep you busy. There are flagship stores here for most of the world’s leading brands in fashion, jewellery and sporting goods. Chanel on the Slopes does have a ring to it! And foodies will delight. Courchevel fine dining restaurants hold an incredible 14 stars between them. For such a small town, it is impressive the number of world-class gastronomic experiences on offer. Be sure to try 1947 at Cheval Blanc, a 3-star Michelin restaurant that needs to be on your bucket list. It is a small intimate restaurant and is the ultimate taste of exclusivity in Courchevel.

Val-d’Isère

Whilst more relaxed than Courchevel, Val-d’Isère is no less luxurious and continues to be one of the most popular luxury ski resorts. Sitting at 1800m, Val-d’Isère is home to one of the longest winter seasons in Europe, attracting international visitors wanting to discover the vibrant Espace-Killy ski area. And thanks to the high number of ultra-luxury ski-in/ski-out chalets, skiing and opulence go hand and hand here. 

But what Val-d’Isère does best is après-ski. And it all begins with the infamous La Folie Douce which has been amazing people since 1980. Drink champagne, and dance as the sun sets, all before returning to your luxury chalet. Bliss. And if you are looking for drinks by the fire, head to La Table de l’Ours, one of Val-d’Isère’s Michelin-starred restaurant.

Zermatt

Iconic thanks to the Matterhorn, the best thing about Zermatt is the level of privacy it offers. Arrive by train (or helicopter) and step into another world. A picture-perfect ski resort, with luxury touches everywhere you look. Stroll along the Bahnhofstrasse and you will discover a top-class shopping experience. Based in the Swiss Alps, this resort is the place to come if you need a new watch, as there is no shortage of premier watch boutiques.

For those seeking culinary excellence, Zermatt will not disappoint. After Seven in the Backstage Hotel, Alpine Gourmet Prato Borni in the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, Ristorante Capri in the Mont Cervin Palace, Brasserie Uno and Aroleid Restaurant have all been awarded a Michelin Star and should be added to your must-visit list.

Verbier

Popular with royals and celebrities, Verbier will always make the list of the best luxury ski resorts. This prestigious alpine village is home to some of the most luxurious ski chalets – think expansive spas, private cinemas, prime locations, and expertly trained staff. But away from your home away from home, there is so much to discover. 

The apres ski in Verbier is some of the best across the Alps and certainly in Switzerland.  Perched on the edge of the mountain at Ruinettes, Ice Cube hosts a DJ on the terrace most afternoons. And if you have one too many glasses of champagne, you can hop on the nearby Medran gondola home. The infamous Le Rouge après bar and restaurant should not be missed. Find a spot on the rooftop bar and dance away to the resident DJ.

And if you don’t want the night to end yet, The Farm Club is the place for you. A Verbier institution since the 1970s, here decadence will welcome you the moment you step through the doors.
