Ski mail: this season's best on-the-slopes stays

That's snow business, baby [View in browser]( [Image](   [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( [Image]( After a bumpy couple of years we’ve finally got a clear run at ski season. Whether you’re a thrill-seeking obsessive or a laissez-faire après aficionado, there’s nothing quite like a bit of snow-softened serenity and some overindulgent lunches to banish the winter blues. And from the Dolomites to the Grand Tetons we’ve got a peak selection of slopeside stays to provide the perfect base for your exertions…or lack of them. Fondue anyone? [EXPLORE OUR SKI COLLECTION](   [Alternate text]( COURCHEVEL, FRANCE [AMAN LE MÉLÉZIN]( Aman le Mélézin has a prime slopeside spot in Courchevel 1850. The fortress-inspired building has Aman's minimalist DNA but there's also cosiness aplenty thanks to blonde-wood panelling, fire-warmed lounges and hot tubs overlooking the snow-dusted pines. Of course, it wouldn’t be Aman if it didn’t have a two-storey spa, a Japanese fine-dining restaurant and probably the world's fanciest ski room, where staff serve hot chocolate and help you into your pre-warmed ski boots. Now that’s luxury. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( SAN CASSIANO, ITALY [ROSA ALPINA]( Alta Badia is a region of the Dolomites remote enough to have its own language. Not the most obvious spot for a hotel, perhaps, but it's done nothing to harm the fortunes of the Rosa Alpina. So what’s the secret to its success? Well, it’s been in the same family for generations, is suffused with Italian charm and leaves the competition in the dust when it comes to dining. Legendary restaurant St Hubertus is owned by star chef Norbert Niederkofler, who has raised South Tyrolean cuisine to starry heights. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( LECH, AUSTRIA [SEVERIN'S ALPINE RETREAT]( Chalet-style hotel Severin’s Alpine Retreat is on the outskirts of Lech am Arlberg, the crown jewel of Austria’s skiing scene. Each of the nine suites is walled in 150-year-old timbers and has a glass-encased fireplace, a slate soaking tub, and a Wittmann bed topped with a thick, fluffy duvet. There’s also a knockout Alpine restaurant, a 3,000-bottle wine cellar, and a high-end spa – just the ticket after a day tearing around the vast Arlberg ski area. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING [CALDERA HOUSE]( At the bottom of Jackson's Teton Village stands Caldera House, a slopeside lodge with just eight suites furnished in a rugged yet cosy style that we’re terming 'haute Americana'. The hotel’s expert concierge team is on call to help you get the best of the snow with guides, choppers, dog-sleds, or fat bikes. And after a descent into Corbet’s Couloir (the mountain's most infamous ski run), you can revive sore muscles in the spa's infinity-edged hot tub. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( TELLURIDE, COLORADO [MADELINE HOTEL & RESIDENCES]( The Madeline is a luxuriously revamped ski-in ski-out hotel in tucked-away Telluride with interiors inspired by vintage Alpine postcards. It's a convivial sort of spot where a horn sounds every day at 4pm to signal the start of après-ski, usually cheered on by diners at Black Iron restaurant's fire-centred tables. [VIEW HOTEL]( [Alternate text]( METSOVO, GREECE [GRAND FOREST METSOVO]( Skiing? In Greece? Certainly, thanks to this high-altitude lodge on the slopes of the Pindus mountains where switched off solitude is the order of the day. Spend the day parallel turning in a pine-strewn, pin-drop-quiet winter wonderland, before retiring to the restaurant for homemade gnocchi with local gruyere.

We’ve collected a few of our favourite spa stops that ensure that the RnR is as good as the adrenalin rush while you’re on the slopes.
