Escaping to a snowy mountain resort, enjoying the beautiful scenery, good food and exquisite wine is the best way to relax the mind and refresh the soul. Whether travelling with family, friends or solo, we are sure to have the perfect property for you.
I am a skier but also can snowboard.
Favourite resorts: Chamonix, Val d’Isere and St. Anton.
Favourite properties: Chalet Twenty 26 (Morzine), Debussy (Morzine) Chalet Bel Sol (Val d’Isère) The Fairmont Chateau (Whistler).
Favourite lunch and après: Zum Zee in Zermatt and La Folie Douce in Val d’Isère.
My tip: A guide is a great way to explore a new area as they will know the quietest slopes and the best restaurants. If you own ski boots, start ‘wearing them in’ a few days before you depart. The first day back will be so much easier!
