When a luxury ski in ski out chalet sees you from pool to piste in the blink of an eye, it's a tough one to rival. The attention to detail that goes into developing these properties is mind-blowing and each location is carefully picked to make your stay as convenient and luxurious as can be. For us, a slopeside location is the ultimate tick on our 5-star catered chalet wish list.
These are the chalets where you can breakfast like a king, slip into heated boots and ski straight out onto the mountain. Picture yourself returning to the crackling fire, high tea and wellness facilities ready and waiting when you ski back at the end of the day. Discover the epitome of alpine luxury with our ski-in/ski-out chalets for an unforgettable mountain retreat.

France proudly wears the European crown for luxury ski-in/ski-out chalets. If there are advanced skiers in your party, the Chopine in Meribel can be reached off-piste. Val d'Isere's private La Legettaz complex (including chalets Kilimanjaro and Lafitena) has a heavenly position by red Piste M, which leads to the lovely Solaise sector and on into the vast Espace Killy. For an exhilarating start to the day, Chalet Montana's on the edge of La Face, Val's rather challenging Olympic black run. Elephant Blanc is terrifically positioned for families - even cautious skiers can use the blue Solaise piste from the door and the beginner slopes are within easy reach.
While luxury ski-in/ski-out chalets aren't Austria's forte, skiing to and from your chalet isn't essential. Most luxury chalet packages include chauffeur services to whisk you from A to B at your leisure. St Anton is a popular resort for chalets. Here, the super-swanky Chalet Monte Vera is conveniently opposite a bus that whisks you right to the lifts in a matter of minutes.
Switzerland's finest resorts offer ultimate slopeside living in luxurious ski-in/ski-out havens. Verbier's stunning panoramas are easily accessible from a selection of posh chalets. Chalet Sorojassa, tucked away in a quiet forest nook, lets you ski down a charming tree-lined path straight to your door. Chalet Bellaiuva, nestled amidst the pines, puts you right next to the piste. And Chalet Mowgli on the edge of Le Rouge piste makes sure you can ski until your legs (and heart) are content. Zermatt's majestic Matterhorn adds another layer of magic to the mix. Elena, perfectly positioned for ski-in/ski-out access in good snow conditions, guarantees convenience and breathtaking views.
While Italy's iconic Cervinia, Sestriere, and Sauze d'Oulx may have purpose-built ski-in/ski-out hotels, doorstep skiing to luxury chalets is less common. Instead, discover a different kind of convenience, where ski buses whisk you to powder playgrounds and local hospitality warms your soul after every run.
