Prettiest ski resorts

Whilst every mountain has the most amazing views, the same can't always be said about the actual resort. Some were built for purpose in the 1960s and 1970s, and while truly excellent for skiing, charm wasn't always part of the brief.

However, when it comes to skiing, you can have it all. So here are our top resorts for jaw-dropping views and picture-perfect villages.

When you're ready to start a holiday search on our website, we recommend using our 'Traditional Charm' filter and we'll only show you the prettiest ski resorts of them all.

Most Popular Pretty Ski Holidays

Chamonix, France

No resort comes close to offering the kind of wild, untapped big mountain skiing and riding that 'Cham' provides. Home to the epic 23km long Vallée Blanche - one of the most spectacular off-piste descents in the world - Chamonix is always a firm favourite, and it’s easy to see why.

Hidden Gem Pretty Ski Holidays

Megeve, France

The vibe is super relaxed in Megeve, so there's no need to rush. In the town, age-old cobbled streets are lined with boutique shops and bars. Stop for a vin chaud on a sun terrace with panoramic views of Mont Blanc, and share gooey fondue. Simply magic!
