10 of the Most Romantic Ski Hotels

The Most Romantic Ski Hotels for Luxury Lovers

Le Strato

  • If your idea of the best romantic ski hotel involves sheer extravagance book into Le Strato in Courchevel 1850. It’s got spectacular interiors, a ski in ski out location, private balconies and a super spa!
  • Another of our Guru’s best romantic ski hotels for luxury lovers is the Riffelalp resort above Zermatt. Europe's highest five star hotel, the Riffelalp is only accessible only by rail or mountain path but boasts breathtaking views of the iconic Matterhorn.
  • Also in Switzerland, Verbier's only five star hotel is also on our list of the best romantic ski hotels. Located in the quieter part of town the Chalet d'Adrien has stunning views of the Grand Massif. Book either the Tormantine or Benoîte des Alpes suite and you'll have your very own private log fire to cosy up beside.

The Most Romantic Ski Hotels for Food Lovers

Cheeses at La Bouitte

  • If you and your paramour are looking for the best romantic ski hotel with a gourmet menu, look no further than La Bouitte in St Martin de Belleville. This traditional farmhouse has a Michelin star, quaint wood panelled rooms and a great spa.
  • The Hameau Albert Premier in Chamonix is another foodie paradise; Michelin starred cuisine accompanies stylish accommodation close to the centre of town.

L'Helios

  • L'Helios in Méribel is one of the newer additions to the Trois Vallées huge range of accommodation. Ideally located on the piste, it offers roaring log fires, a south facing terrace with great views over the valley, a private cinema and a luxury spa. Plus a Michelin and Gault & Millau recommended restaurant.

The Most Romantic Ski Hotels for Lovers of Pampering

Alpaga

  • The Alpaga in Megéve is a beautifully presented ‘modern rustic’ style hotel - think sanded wood, cashmere rugs, plaids and fake furs - with a fabulous spa, cosy bar and private chef service if you're staying in one of their chalets.
  • For our best romantic ski hotels in Austria, try the Kristiania in Lech, where understated luxury has been described as "Heidi meets Calvin Klein”. Its USP are its ski valets and bath butlers.
  • Just down the road in Zurs you'll find the pampering Thurners Alpenhof. There is an in-house ski/snowboard instructor, gourmet food and the service is excellent and imaginative.

The Most Romantic Ski Hotels for Lovers of Great Value

Hotel Julen

  • If you j’adore Zermatt, but the Riffelalp is out of your price range, book into the Julen, one of the best value of our best romantic ski hotels. It’s been in same family since 1937 and is traditionally decorated with contemporary twists; wooden chalet style walls compete with zebra print rugs, cushions and red upholstery. Reserve the luxury suite and you'll get fabulous Matterhorn views too.
