For many of us the perfect ski holiday must combine wonderful skiing, great après-ski and comfortable, spacious accommodation with authentic Savoyard charm. And warm welcome, naturally. To inspire you in your own quest for a luxury ski experience this winter we’ve put together an exclusive selection of wonderful destinations and places to stay.

THE AWARD-WINNING Arc 1950 Le Village has perhaps the perfect location, offering doorstep skiing, yet with all the facilities a resort needs within just a few steps from its premium accommodation. The colourful, pedestrian village also has a choice of bars and restaurants plus chic boutiques, ski-wear shops and equipment hire.

Les Arcs resort review

Les Arcs has been a firm favourite with a whole generation of French family skiers, who appreciate its combination of extensive and accessible high-altitude skiing with lots of self-catering accommodation. The British, too, have taken it to their hearts in increasing numbers, particularly since the liaison with La Plagne opened things up still further to create the vast Paradiski area. Add the direct funicular link to Bourg St Maurice, for slick transfers to overnight rail services direct from London and you have an unbeatable package.
