Triple Creek Ranch | Montana
It’s only fitting we begin in Big Sky Country, right? Those expansive mountain views are mesmerizing, luring skiers from all over the world. Triple Creek is lovely because everyone is spread out in their own log cabin, but they gather together for world-class meals at night. With easy access to skiing and snowshoeing, this is an adventurer’s paradise.
Dunton Hot Springs | Colorado
Nestled deep in the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado Rockies, you’ll find healing hot springs to soothe your soul after a day out on the slopes.

Everything here is an exquisite entanglement of time, starting with the ancient hand-hewn cabins that are expertly furnished and ending with the sensuous hot springs that shimmer beneath the snow banks.

And, when you cap off your day with the gourmet menu featured at their onsite restaurant, Wyld, you’ll never want to leave.
Alta Peruvian Lodge | Utah
The Peruvian takes on the look of a European lodge and has an equally interesting story to boot: it served as nurse’s barracks during World War II. As a beautifully resorted building, you can take advantage of any number of classes here. They’re known for transforming even the most basic skier into an adequate one. The focus here is on community. Folks love to gather in the common areas for a drink or a dip in the hot tub.

With floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere you turn, there’s no shortage of showstopping views, whether you’re enjoying a meal, a spa service, or luxuriating right from your room.
Club Med La Rosière | France
Let’s hop over to France for another reliable experience at another Club Med destination. About a mile high in the sky, this resort is cheerfully known as the “Balcony of the Tarentaiseki,” given its south-facing panoramic views. Here, the chalets have a classically beautiful feel, made of stone, wood, and slate. And they all give way to a charming village that always has an event or two going on. You’ll also find yourself indulging in a facial, massage, or perfectly tailored treatment a time or two before dining in delight at their onsite eatery, Le Mont Valezan.
Hotel Le Mottaret | France
To experience another authentic chalet high up in the sky, be sure to check out Hotel Le Mottaret, as well. They’ve mastered the art of ambiance here, with their deep reds, warm tones, and a roaring fireplace in the lounge. As part of their all-inclusive package, you can even indulge in a mid-day meal on the terrace at Café del Mott. Hot drinks are freely available all day long and serve as the perfect appetizer to your day on the slopes or on-site ski lessons with their talented teachers.
Ski Portillo | Chile
When we think of Chile – and most of South America – we think of enchanting coastlines and lush forests. However, we must not overlook the many reasons for spending time at Ski Portillo. Here, you’ll find slopes for every level that are blissfully lacking in crowds. And, when you’re back at the resort, you’ll find an equally charming atmosphere in which to relax. With their ski-in and ski-out access, you couldn’t ask for anything more – but you should. Their après ski scene is equally delightful, thanks to their Chilean wines and dinner dishes.

Indeed, every need will be met while you’re here, pleasing your taste buds, muscles, and adventure-seeking soul.
Club Med Pragelato Sestriere | Italy
The Italian Alps should do it, right? Nestled into a serene valley in Piedmont, Club Med Pragelato Vialattea embodies the charm and elegance of a ski chalet that surrounds a picture-perfect fountain. When you’re not nibbling on the Genovese focaccia, you’ll be gearing up to hit the slopes of the renowned Olympic Via Lattea. The next day, you might want to snowshoe through the snow-capped pine trees before returning to luxuriate in their Finnish sauna.
Adler Lodge Alpe | Italy
The folks at Adler like to describe their haven as a hideaway. And they’re certainly correct. Here, the staff will treat you so well that you’ll feel like you’re coming home. Everything is pretty as a picture, especially when you’re dipping your toes into the warm waters of their spa, surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
