Our Curated Selection of Ski Destinations, Hotels and Resorts
🇨🇭 Switzerland
Zermatt
Cervo Mountain Resort – Ski-in/ski-out design hotel with woodsy-chic rooms, après-ski fire pits, and just enough edge to feel cool without losing its coziness.
Riffelalp Resort 2222m – A cable car ride above town, this alpine retreat feels like another world entirely—serene, snow-globe views, and pure magic at altitude.
The Omnia – Contemporary, moody, and literally built into the rock face. It’s James Bond goes skiing.
Mont Cervin Palace – Zermatt’s grande dame. Ski right to the door, hand your boots to someone else, and head straight for the spa. Elegant but never stuffy, with plenty of kid-friendly perks.
St. Moritz & Engadin
Kulm Hotel St. Moritz – A legend since 1856, where fireplaces roar, white-gloved service still charms, and après-ski feels like a social season all its own.
Badrutt’s Palace – Winter glamour at its finest—crystal chandeliers, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and an ice rink right out front. The kind of place where snow feels like confetti.
Andermatt
The Chedi Andermatt – Sexy lighting, roaring fireplaces, an outrageous spa, and a ski butler who makes sure you never touch your own boots.
Crans-Montana
Six Senses Crans-Montana – Wellness-first luxury where the spa is as much a destination as the slopes. Stylish, sustainable, and deeply restorative.
Crans Ambassador – Light-filled rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a breezy terrace for winter sun, and a sense of modern alpine ease.
Verbier
W Verbier – Youthful energy, ski-in/ski-out convenience, a buzzy après scene, and rooms that prove modern can still be cozy.
Gstaad
Gstaad Palace – The grande dame on the hill, lit up like a castle in the snow. Old-school glamour (think Elizabeth Taylor and royalty), with a world-class spa, sweeping views, and après-ski that feels more champagne flute than beer stein.
Alpina Gstaad – Chalet style reimagined. Modern architecture, contemporary art, and one of the best spas in Switzerland (hello, Six Senses). It’s polished but never pretentious.
Engelberg
Kempinski Palace Engelberg – A grand dame reimagined. Stately architecture meets playful family programming and a rooftop pool that overlooks the Alps.
🇮🇹 Italy
Cervinia
Hotel Hermitage, Relais & Châteaux – A family-run alpine classic that feels like a warm hug wrapped in cashmere. Nestled at the foot of the Matterhorn on the Italian side, it is all wood-beamed coziness, fireplaces, and balconies with sweeping views of the slopes. The service is famously personal, with old-world European hospitality that means they remember your favorite wine and have it waiting after a day on the glacier. The spa is intimate but excellent, with mountain-facing pools and treatments that soothe both ski legs and city stress. It is less flashy than Zermatt across the border and that is exactly the point.
