Ultra-Luxury Mountain Retreats & Resorts

Mountain luxury splits cleanly between ski-season properties (Aspen, Courchevel, Zermatt, Verbier, Niseko, Whistler, Park City, Deer Valley) and year-round mountain resorts (Banff Springs, Lake Louise, Whitepod, Aman Le Mélézin, Belmond Mount Nelson). The ski properties run on a December-March rhyth

What's Included

Properties in mountain settings — Alpine, Rockies, Himalayas, Andes, Japanese Alps. Includes both ski-in/ski-out properties and mountain-set lodges without ski access. Excludes hill-station retreats at low elevation and coastal-cliff properties.

Best For

For ski-season travelers planning trips during winter peak weeks, multi-generational family ski trips where the lodge programming matters as much as the slopes, and summer mountain travelers seeking hiking-and-spa combinations at altitude.
