From the powder bowls of Whistler to the tree-lined trails of Tremblant, North Americans are no strangers to world-class skiing. But cross the Atlantic, you’ll find a different kind of alpine experience — one where your morning descent ends with an espresso in the sun, and your evenings unfold in a chalet with a private chef and cellar. Welcome to the world of European luxury ski holidays — no one knows it better than The Luxury Chalet Company.
The Independent Experts in European Ski Luxury
Founded by Cameron Temple, a lifelong skier with a sharp eye for quality and detail, The Luxury Chalet Company began as a passion project shaped on the slopes of the Alps. Years of exploring Europe’s most exclusive resorts led to an idea: bring together a portfolio of alpine properties in a single site that matched the high standards of the travellers who stay in them.
What started with a handful of standout lodges has evolved into a network of more than 1,000 premium properties — from sleek, ski-in/ski-out apartments to grand chalets with helipads, private spas, and cellars stocked with rare vintages. But beyond the square footage and spa treatments, it’s the company’s tailored, insider-led approach that keeps its clients coming back season after season.
Based in London and operating across France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, The Luxury Chalet Company has become the go-to specialist for travellers seeking more than just a place to stay. Whether booking a catered luxury ski chalet for a family celebration or uncovering a private, off-market escape known only to seasoned skiers, the team combines deep resort knowledge with meticulous attention to detail. Making luxury ski travel feel as effortless as it is exceptional.
Where to Ski: Europe’s Best in Class
Europe’s mountain resorts offer more than just skiing — they deliver culture, history, cuisine, and character in a way that’s entirely their own. In France, standout names include Courchevel 1850, where pristine pistes, luxury boutiques, and Michelin-starred dining sit high in the iconic Three Valleys, as well as Val d’Isère, which, together with neighbouring Tignes, forms the vast Espace Killy.

Over in Switzerland, Verbier draws an international crowd with its legendary freeride terrain and lively après-ski scene, while Zermatt, nestled under the mighty Matterhorn, offers year-round glacier skiing, car-free tranquillity, and some of the most refined luxury ski chalets in Europe.

Austria, known for its warm hospitality and serious ski credentials, shines with resorts like St. Anton, famous for steep descents and energetic après, and Lech, a more peaceful yet no less luxurious alternative with excellent snow and charming village life. View Austrian Luxury Chalets here.
In Italy, Cervinia stands out as a rising favourite, offering long, open runs, incredible scenery, and direct lift access to Zermatt, all paired with authentic Italian hospitality and cuisine. View Italian Luxury Chalets here.
Wherever you choose to base yourself, each of Europe’s luxury ski resorts offers its own take on the alpine dream — and The Luxury Chalet Company ensures you experience them at their best.
Exceptional Chalets, Hand-Picked by Experts
The chalets in The Luxury Chalet Company portfolio aren’t just places to stay but rather destinations in their own right. Selected for their impeccable design, premium location, and exceptional service, each one offers a unique take on alpine luxury.
Take No.14 in Verbier, for example — a beautifully designed retreat with bespoke interiors, a full private spa, and an in-house team. With its cedar hot tubs, cinema room, and family-friendly touches, it’s a property that balances sophistication with genuine, welcoming comfort.
In Courchevel 1850, Chalet Ormello offers slopeside access paired with grand architecture, soaring ceilings, and standout social spaces, including a private bar and games room. It’s an ideal base for groups who want to ski hard by day and unwind in style by night.
Further east, Chalet 1551 in Lech channels typical Austrian character with high-end design, panoramic views, and direct ski-in/ski-out access. A serene spa suite, handpicked interiors, and a chauffeur-driven Range Rover complete the picture of refined, easy luxury.
And in Cervinia, Chalet La Fenice spans six floors and blends traditional materials with contemporary detailing — all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Matterhorn. Its wellness area, private cinema, and elegant entertaining spaces make it a standout for families or groups seeking total privacy and polish.
From ski-in/ski-out masterpieces in Val d’Isère to discreet family chalets in Lech, each property in the portfolio is hand-selected by The Luxury Chalet Company team, not property managers or owners, and placed into one of four categories:
- Ultimate – Seven-night stays over €100,000, with full staff, spa facilities, gourmet chefs, and in-resort chauffeurs. These are the flagship catered luxury ski chalets of the Alps.
- Luxury – Valued between €15,000 and €100,000, these high-end chalets and penthouses offer serious comfort, professional staff, and optional catering — perfect for family holidays or small groups.
- 4 Lux* – Quality properties for those looking for refined accommodation on a smaller budget. Often self-catered, these chalets and apartments still feature amenities like saunas and private terraces.
- Hidden Collection – Off-market and invitation-only, this ultra-exclusive category includes chalets so private they’re invisible online. Reserved for returning clients, some require NDAs and come with the option to bring your own staff.
