With November underway, our team at Reservest is embracing the festive season fully. When it comes to exclusive holidays, we believe that nothing is more quintessentially Christmas than a getaway to a European ski resort.
Nights by the crackling fire and toasted marshmallows, mountains covered with snow, and decadent meals at award-winning restaurants - ski resorts offer a magical winter wonderland for families and friends with the added adventure of taking to the slopes for the thrill of skiing.
We share a few of our favourite accommodation options for a sophisticated skiing experience in Europe.
Exclusive Luxury at The Lodge
Virgin Limited Edition’s, The Lodge, offers guests an idyllic, all-inclusive Swiss Alps escape among the snowy peaks of Verbier, Switzerland. Built in the style reminiscent of a traditional ski chalet, the interior is spacious and features cosy yet stylish furnishings to create a lavish home away from home.
During the winter months, The Lodge can be booked for exclusive use as a private ski retreat for a large family or group of friends, sleeping up to 18 adults and six children. Three individually decorated bedrooms, four large bedrooms, two stunning master suites and The Bunkroom provide all the luxuries synonymous with the Virgin Limited Edition brand.
Guests have access to an indoor heated pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, a fully equipped gym and a sauna to relax and unwind between skiing sessions. Foodies will be in awe of the mouth-watering local and international dishes crafted by the culinary team – headed by a Michelin-trained chef – for feasts at the grand dining table.
Located within the Four Valleys area, this luxury offering is a skier’s paradise. The Lodge ensures a seamless skiing experience for guests, from arranging equipment hire and lift passes to offering skiing lessons and transfers to the lift station.
Lavish Apartments at Six Senses Residences Courchevel
Moving slightly south to the French Alps, Six Senses Residences Courchevel, situated in the heart of Courchevel, offers sophistication among snow-capped peaks. With a modern Alpine aesthetic, dazzling views and spacious living areas, the Two-Bedroom and Three-Bedroom Apartments are a favourite for luxury skiing accommodation.
These apartments are ideal for intimate groups of friends or family, sleeping four (two-bedroom) or six (three-bedroom) guests each. They feature sweeping vistas of the awe-inspiring mountains or of the courtyard below from the balcony or terrace, while the interior offers Alpine glamour. The open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area are serene spaces to reconnect and share stories of skiing, adventures and memories.
With scenes of Mont Blanc, freshly groomed pistes, and slopes catering for all levels, guests can discover a range of winter sports, including snow scootering, dog sledding, snowshoeing and ski-in/ski-out-style skiing.
Dining and wellness at Six Senses hotels never disappoint, and Residences Courchevel is no different. The Sumosan Japanese Restaurant serves signature sushi that delights the eyes and appetite, while the spa utilises smart tech to create wellness programmes that help guests sleep better, detox or recover after a day on the slopes.
Alpine Suites at Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz
Iconic for its glamour and captivating mountains, St. Moritz is the very definition of a chic skiing destination. Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski elevates this refined atmosphere even further, offering Deluxe and Premier Alpine Suites with awe-inspiring views of the Swiss Alps.
Ranging from two to five bedrooms, these suites are impeccably decorated with warm and homely elements while remaining incredibly modern. Bedrooms with top-quality linen, en-suite bathrooms, inviting living areas, a fully equipped kitchen and an optional butler service complete the offering.
The 19th-century Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz is a site to behold in and of itself, set against the backdrop of the Engadin Valley. Situated at the foot of a cable car, the hotel has unrivalled access to the Swiss slopes and hiking trails through the snow. For something different, guests can practise their skating skills on the natural ice rinks or experience the thrill of tobogganing.
Guests also have access to exceptional Italian cuisine at Ristorante Da Adriano, the award-winning breakfast buffet at Les Saisons, and the fabulous BILLIONAIRE dinner show and club experience.
