Eight snowy experiences to enjoy this winter


Tuck into oozing fondue in the Swiss Alps, show off your skiing skills in the Italian Dolomites and relax in a luxury chalet in Val d’Isère — the slopes are calling.

Embark on a luxury Austrian adventure

(Hettegger Hotel Edelweiss)

After an extensive renovation, Das Edelweiss Salzburg Mountain Resort now comprises a mountain spa, featuring an indoor water park, two outdoor pools, numerous saunas and huge separate areas for families and adults. Guests can enjoy award-winning cuisine focused on local ingredients. Being in the scenic Grossarl Valley, Das Edelweiss Salzburg Mountain Resort is surrounded by spectacular views and serves as an ideal starting point for activities. The five-star ski-in ski-out-resort is located just a few steps from the gondola station, providing direct access to Austria’s famed Ski Amadé winter sports area, with 472 miles of slopes. If you’re a history-lover, the historic city of Salzburg — the former home of Mozart — is located just over 40 miles north of Grossarl, perfect for a day trip.

Enjoy a culinary break in the Swiss Alps

(Hotel Belvedere Grindelwald)

Nestled in the chocolate-box village of Grindelwald, Switzerland, family-run ski hotel Belvedere is a must-visit for ski enthusiasts and food-lovers alike. The majestic views of the Swiss Alps are among the hotel’s most impressive features, yet it’s Belvedere’s three restaurants that really make it stand out from the pack. Savour Swiss and international flavours at Restaurant Belvedere, and for more high-end cuisine, head to 1910 Gourmet by Hausers, which has just been awarded with one Michelin star and 15 Gault & Millau points. As a fun, scenic alternative you and a loved one will enjoy, why not book a ‘fondue gondola’ for two, and enjoy mouth-watering cheesy bites against a snowy, mountainous backdrop? The Belvedere values sustainability, too, embracing eco-friendly heating, while forging lasting relationships and collaborating with locals.
