The season of snow
From December to spring, the Alps belong to the skier. Each of our destinations has a character all its own, from the glaciers of Zermatt and the freeride couloirs of Verbier to the linked vastness of the Three Valleys and the timeless elegance of the Arlberg. Below, the winter highlights of every resort in our collection.
Zermatt
Beneath the iconic Matterhorn, car-free Zermatt offers some of the highest and most snow-sure skiing in the Alps: over 360km of pistes linked across the border to Cervinia in Italy, glacier runs open even in midwinter, and the Gornergrat railway to breathtaking views and Michelin-level mountain dining.
Verbier
The gateway to the vast 4 Vallées, with some 410km of runs, Verbier is the freeride capital of the Alps: legendary off-piste, the Freeride World Tour finals on the Bec des Rosses, and one of the most electric high-altitude après-ski scenes anywhere.
Courchevel
The most exclusive corner of the Three Valleys, the world's largest linked ski area at around 600km. Courchevel 1850 pairs effortless skiing with designer boutiques, its own altiport and more Michelin stars than any other resort in the Alps.
Méribel
The pretty, chalet-built heart of the Three Valleys, with direct access to all three valleys from the door. Tree-lined runs, gentle nursery slopes and a warm, refined atmosphere make it a favourite for families and connoisseurs alike.
Val d'Isère
Linked with Tignes to form one of the world's great ski areas of around 300km, Val d'Isère delivers snow-sure, high-altitude skiing late into spring, the famous Face de Bellevarde World Cup run and a sophisticated village après-ski.
Lech
The discreet, aristocratic heart of the Arlberg, linked with St Anton and Zürs across more than 300km. Home of the celebrated Der Weisse Ring circuit, with impeccable grooming, understated luxury and an exclusive calm far from the day-trippers.
St Anton
The spiritual home of alpine skiing in the Arlberg: challenging terrain, deep and reliable off-piste, and the legendary slope-side après-ski of the Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh.
