From large ski areas to more exclusive locales, enjoy your downhill experience while staying at popular ski resorts. Unless of course you prefer to immerse yourself in winter’s paradise by hiking along snow-covered trails with snowshoes or led by sled dogs! And finally, as night falls, when all the skiers have left the mountain and a majestic calm has descended on the trails, enjoy a glass of mulled wine by the fireside, take advantage of wholesome spa treatments or share a gourmet dinner at the summit. A ski vacation with Relais & Châteaux allows you to fully enjoy the sport while recharging your batteries.
