It’s that time again. While most are thinking about summer barbecues and suncream, the smart ones—the true snow chasers—are already plotting their lines for next winter. And if you want the best ski trip of your life, it starts now, with the right basecamp. Next season’s ski adventures are already filling up, and if you’re dreaming of fresh tracks, fireside cocktails, and spas that steam away the day’s leg burn, then timing is everything. Bookings are open, and the snow tribe knows: the best stays don’t wait. So we’ve gone on the hunt—scouring the Alps and beyond—to bring you a handpicked collection of ski hotels that are more than just places to sleep. These are destinations in their own right. Think: slope-side sanctuaries with gourmet soul food, snow-draped spas, and hosts who know your name before you even check in. Whether you're a powder purist, a pampered piste cruiser, or après-ski enthusiast, here are the must-stay ski hotels that will take your next winter escape from great… to unforgettable. Hotel Alex, Zermatt Hotel Villa Licht, Kitzbühel Brewster Mountain Lodge, Banff Hotel Marmolada, Corvara Mountain Lodge, Telluride Hotel Alex, Zermatt – The Luxurious Lodge at the Heart of Swiss Skiing For those who dream of deep powder, dramatic peaks, and decadent comfort, Zermatt has always been a siren call. This high-altitude resort, beneath the mighty Matterhorn, delivers world-class skiing with all the drama you could want. But when it comes to where to stay, discerning UK skiers keep coming back to one place—Hotel Alex. A self-proclaimed “luxurious alpine hut,” Hotel Alex pairs nostalgic mountain charm with baroque flamboyance—and somehow makes it work perfectly. It’s a place where skiers swap boots for slippers, après fades into candlelit evenings, and the Matterhorn’s silhouette looms like a sentinel in the background. Location: Mountain Majesty at Your Doorstep Zermatt might not offer ski-in/ski-out ease, but it compensates with connectivity. Hotel Alex sits right in the heart of town—just two minutes from the Gornergrat railway station, which whisks skiers to over 3,000 meters in under 30 minutes. The Sunnega-Rothorn lift is a five-minute walk away, and electric taxis can shuttle you to the Klein Matterhorn for glacier skiing almost year-round. The hotel’s ski room is top-notch, with numbered lockers and boot warmers that make pre-ski mornings a pleasure. Add to that the 10% discount at partner rental shops, and you've got a seamless start to every ski day. Alpine Extravagance Meets Family Warmth Founded in 1961 by renowned mountain guide Alex Perren and his wife Gisela, Hotel Alex is now run by their daughter Christina and son-in-law René. This generational torch-passing hasn’t dimmed the flame—if anything, it’s kept it burning brighter. Step inside and you’re welcomed not just as a guest, but as part of a story that’s been unfolding for over six decades. The interiors are an enchanting blend of carved wood, velvet, leather, and roaring fireplaces. It’s indulgent, yes—but there’s also something remarkably sincere about the place. The kind of luxury that feels lived-in. With 84 rooms, including 7 deluxe suites and 17 junior suites, there’s space to suit every traveler—families, couples, and solo ski adventurers alike. Some suites even feature private fireplaces, turning a night in into an event in itself. Après That Defines the Destination In Zermatt, après-ski is an artform—and Alex Lounge Bar is one of its masterworks. This buzzing hotspot, adored by locals and visitors alike, features three roaring fireplaces, themed corners like The Highlander whisky nook, and a drinks list that’s as diverse as the guestbook. If you’re into cigars and malts, the Smokers Lounge—“Smokies”—is your personal heaven, stocked with Cuban and Dominican cigars and rare single malts. Feast Like You Mean It Three restaurants await your appetite at Hotel Alex. Le Jardin is a sunlit space for elegant breakfasts and light lunches. The Alex Grill, helmed by celebrated French chef Fredy Fischer, delivers gourmet cuisine that balances finesse with heartiness—grilled meats and fresh fish being specialties. But the pièce de résistance is Bodega Bacchus, a subterranean wine cellar dining space with the longest oak table in Zermatt. Seating just 22, it’s part private club, part gastronomic sanctuary. The wine list? Extensive, global, and peppered with regional Valais gems. Pair your meal with a silky Swiss pinot or a robust Italian nebbiolo—you won’t go wrong. Spa Life in the Swiss Alps After carving turns all day, few things compare to sinking into Hotel Alex’s wellness oasis. The facilities are extensive: a large indoor pool, jacuzzi, Finnish and bio saunas, steam rooms, relaxation zones, and a tepidarium. There’s even indoor tennis and squash courts for those who still have energy to burn. A range of massages and beauty treatments can be booked à la carte, and seasonal wellness packages offer tailored recovery experiences. It’s not just relaxation—it’s rejuvenation, Swiss-style. Skiing in Zermatt: Elevated Adventure Zermatt is not just another Alpine resort—it’s one of the most iconic ski destinations in the world. With over 360km of slopes linked to Italy’s Cervinia, Zermatt offers skiing for all levels, from wide, rolling blues to steep off-piste adventures. And thanks to its glacier terrain, it’s also one of the few places in Europe where year-round skiing is possible. Hotel Alex serves as the ideal basecamp for this winter wonderland. From here, guests can access three main ski areas: Gornergrat, Sunnega, and Klein Matterhorn, each offering unique perspectives and pristine pistes. Whether you're doing dawn runs on freshly groomed trails or chasing powder off-piste with a local guide, Zermatt delivers the goods. Events, Extras, and Unplugged Moments In April, Hotel Alex becomes one of the main venues for Zermatt Unplugged, the renowned acoustic music festival that transforms the town into a celebration of sound and snow. The hotel also hosts private events and conferences year-round, thanks to a flexible 200-person capacity conference centre, complete with the latest tech and its own Sunset Bar terrace. The Essentials Rates: Start from CHF 480 per night, half-board included. Peak pricing for suites can reach CHF 1,400. Best Offers: Look out for the Alex Ski Dream winter packages—often bundled with lift passes and spa treatments. Booking: Reserve via the official website, direct email or phone (5% rebate for direct bookings), or via major OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia. The Final Word Hotel Alex isn’t just somewhere to rest your head—it’s an essential part of your Zermatt experience. Equal parts nostalgia and novelty, tradition and trend, it offers a unique, full-bodied taste of Swiss alpine life. For UK skiers looking for something truly special—this is it. Hotel Villa Licht, Kitzbühel – The Skiers' Secret in Austria’s Most Iconic Resort Ask any seasoned skier to name the most iconic race in the alpine calendar, and they’ll tell you: the Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel. But beyond the roar of the Streif and the flash of fur-trimmed jackets lies a quiet gem that’s become a cult favourite among in-the-know travellers—Hotel Villa Licht. Just five minutes’ stroll from the Hahnenkamm lift, this lovingly restored 19th-century villa is a sanctuary for skiers who want charm without the pretence, comfort without the clichés, and the kind of low-key luxury that whispers rather than shouts. Location: Five-Minute Stride to the Slopes Let’s get straight to the point: location matters. And Villa Licht is superbly placed. From your front door, it’s a five-minute walk to the Hahnenkammbahn, the cable car that whisks you into a 188km network of slopes served by 57 lifts. From wide cruising blues to the vertiginous Streif, Kitzbühel’s terrain is as diverse as it is exhilarating. There’s no ski-in/ski-out, but it hardly matters. A ski bus stops just 50 metres away if you’re feeling lazy, and your gear is looked after in-house with secure ski and boot storage—heated, naturally. Need rental? The hotel partners with Skirent Michael right across the street, offering a handy 10% discount for guests. Everything’s close. Everything’s easy. Just how it should be. Stay Where It Feels Like Home (If Home Were a 19th-Century Austrian Villa) The villa itself is a piece of Kitzbühel history, dating back to 1892, and it’s been in the same family since 1951. Now run with charm and warmth by Renate, this is more than just a base—it’s a home. There are only eight apartments, ranging from 40 to 80m², with one or two bedrooms, kitchenettes, and daily maid service. The décor is alpine vintage chic—wooden beams, rich colours, and old-world detailing—but with modern comforts subtly woven in. After a day on the mountain, nothing beats recuperating in the apartment with a glass of red or relaxing beside the fireplace in the Kaminzimmer. Each apartment feels deeply personal, and the atmosphere throughout the villa is relaxed, friendly, and unfiltered. It’s perfect for couples, families, and small groups who value independence and personality over hotel formality. Après-Ski With Authentic Austrian Vibes Forget disco après or overpriced cocktails served in glass igloos. At Villa Licht, après-ski happens at LICHTBLICK, the villa’s outdoor winter bar that buzzes with laughter, music, and the aroma of mulled wine. This is where locals and return guests gather, swap snow stories, and toast the day with homemade Glühwein or the famously potent Flying Hirsch. It’s all about connection, not spectacle. You’ll meet ski instructors, city escapees, and Tyrolean characters, all under twinkling lights and snowy eaves. For many regulars, this bar is the beating heart of their Kitzbühel escape. Dining: The World at Your Door Villa Licht doesn’t have a restaurant—but that’s actually a plus. You're free to dine out every night, and the centre of Kitzbühel is steps away, brimming with everything from rustic inns to fine-dining hotspots. For breakfast, Renate arranges a fresh bread delivery service, so you wake to the scent of just-baked rolls at your door. There’s no better way to start a ski day. Wellness: Off-Site, But Well Sorted While Villa Licht doesn’t have a spa, it’s a minute from the town’s public sauna and pool complex, where discounted entry is available with your ski pass. It’s clean, efficient, and more than enough to iron out post-piste aches. But honestly, most guests prefer to recuperate in their apartment—by the fire, with a bottle of Austrian red and no set spa appointment times. For Skiers, By People Who Get Skiers What makes Villa Licht really shine is that it’s unapologetically designed for skiers. No corporate fluff. No unnecessary frills. Just effortless access, genuine comfort, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a returning friend even if it’s your first visit. The building oozes character. The location is spot on. And the vibe? As relaxed or as social as you want it to be. Need-to-Know Ski Facts Lifts: 57 lifts, connecting to Kirchberg and Pass Thurn Pistes: 188km of terrain from beginner to expert Snowmaking: 96% coverage – you’ll ski even in lean winters Highlight run: The Streif (if you dare), or the long reds from Pengelstein Rates & Booking Winter 2025/26 Rates: From €270 per night for two guests Includes: Daily housekeeping, full kitchen, bread delivery, ski storage Book via: www.villa-licht.at for best rates and instant confirmation Contact: Renate at hotel@villa-licht.at for anything else—she’s wonderfully responsive The Final Word If you ski for the thrill but stay for the charm, Hotel Villa Licht might just be your alpine soulmate. It’s not flashy. It’s not trying to be the next influencer hot spot. But for skiers who want access, atmosphere, and authenticity in one of Europe’s best resorts, this place is gold. Kitzbühel has plenty of big-name hotels. But none quite like this. Brewster Mountain Lodge, Banff – Rustic Roots and Big Mountain Dreams in the Canadian Rockies There are ski destinations you visit once and tick off the list, and then there’s Banff—a place that gets under your skin and calls you back winter after winter. Set within the heart of Banff National Park, this UNESCO World Heritage Site pairs wild, natural beauty with world-class skiing across three unique resorts. It’s also one of the most snow-reliable and visually jaw-dropping ski areas within easy reach of the UK. And right in the centre of Banff town itself, with the bustle of Bear Street on one side and mountain views on the other, you’ll find a place that distills the spirit of the Canadian Rockies into one warm, welcoming package: Brewster Mountain Lodge. Family-owned, impeccably clean, and deeply rooted in local heritage, this boutique lodge is a real skier’s basecamp—perfectly placed for adventure, après, and everything in between. A Lodge with Legacy and Character The Brewster name is synonymous with Banff. Founded by a family of mountain guides and ranchers over 125 years ago, the Brewsters were among the pioneers who opened up this region to travellers and adventurers. Their legacy now lives on in this 77-room downtown lodge, which manages to feel both rugged and refined. Step inside, and it’s all warm timber walls, stone fireplaces, wrought-iron accents, and authentic western décor—think handcrafted furniture and Native Canadian artwork. You’re not just getting a room; you’re entering a story. Choose from rooms with one King bed or two Queens—ideal for families, couples, or groups. And with a mezzanine library, fitness room, and sunny breakfast atrium, the space invites you to unwind at every turn. Skiing the SkiBig3: A Passport to Powder © Reuben Krabbe / SkiBig3 Let’s get down to business. You’re not here for just the views. You’re here to ski. Brewster Mountain Lodge offers seamless access to Banff’s SkiBig3 area—three distinctive resorts, one easy lift pass, and over 7,700 acres of skiable terrain. From the lodge, it’s a short, 120-metre stroll to the free ski shuttle stop. From there: Mount Norquay (7.1 km / 12 min): The closest resort, perfect for a warm-up day. Home to night skiing, steep terrain, and locals’ favourite tree runs. Sunshine Village (17 km / 16 min): High-altitude skiing across three mountains. Think wide open bowls, natural snow, and a season that runs into May. Lake Louise (59 km / 39 min): One of the largest resorts in North America, with glacial scenery so stunning it might just stop you mid-turn. The breadth and quality of terrain across SkiBig3 is one of Banff’s biggest draws, especially for UK skiers looking to escape the unpredictability of European snow. Add in dependable lift infrastructure, well-marked trails, and a refreshingly uncrowded feel, and you’ve got the kind of skiing that keeps calling you back. Downtown Delights: Banff Beyond the Slopes One of Brewster’s standout features is its unbeatable downtown location. When the skiing ends, Banff’s laid-back après scene takes over—and it’s all within walking distance. You’ve got more than 30 restaurants and bars nearby, from laid-back breweries to gourmet grill houses. Highlights include: Three Bears Brewery – Wood-fired pizzas, hoppy IPAs, and a roaring fire. Magpie & Stump – Tacos, tequila, and toe-tapping tunes. The Grizzly House – An old-school favourite known for its sizzling fondue and throwback alpine vibes. Don’t feel like heading out? Unwind back at the lodge’s dry cedar sauna, or relax with a book in the mezzanine library. Looking ahead, Brewster is planning to add outdoor jetted pools, barrel saunas, and a cold plunge—just another reason to extend your stay. Skier-First, Fuss-Free At Brewster, everything is tailored to skiers: Ski storage room with secure lockers. Lift passes and lessons via SkiBig3, all bookable through the hotel. A genuinely knowledgeable front desk team who live and breathe Banff winters. Cleanliness is another standout. The hotel is regularly recognised by the AAA/CAA Best of Housekeeping Awards, placing it among the top 25% of all inspected properties in North America. For skiers, that means spotless rooms, excellent housekeeping, and the kind of comfort you truly appreciate after a long day on the slopes. Who’s It For? UK skiers will find Brewster especially appealing if they value: Personal hospitality over polished anonymity. Location-first access without ski-in/ski-out pricing. A base that feels equally suited to families, couples, solo skiers, or groups of friends. A ski trip with a side of authentic Canadian culture, not just resort clichés. Travel Made Easy Banff is one of the most accessible long-haul ski destinations for UK travellers. Fly direct from London to Calgary (approx. 9 hours), then it’s a scenic 90-minute transfer to Banff. Once here, the entire town is walkable, and the ski shuttle system makes car hire unnecessary. Factor in favourable exchange rates, lower lift pass costs if pre booked compared to some European resorts, and dependable early and late season snow, and Banff offers brilliant value for UK skiers looking for something beyond the Alps. Rates and Booking Rates: From $179 CAD (approx. £100) mid-week, $249 CAD weekends. Deals: Long-stay special – stay 5 nights, get the 6th free. Book direct: www.brewstermountainlodge.com | info@brewstermountainlodge.com Direct booking not only gets you the best rates—it guarantees you’ll benefit from local knowledge and direct service, especially useful when tailoring your SkiBig3 experience. The Final Word Brewster Mountain Lodge is the kind of place that makes ski holidays simple, memorable, and deeply comfortable. It’s not flashy. It’s not fussy. But it is authentic, award-winningly clean, and genuinely welcoming. The rooms are cosy, the location spot-on, and the ski access second to none. For UK skiers seeking a Canadian experience with both heart and heritage, this is more than a hotel. It’s your home base in Banff—and the beginning of your next great mountain story. Hotel Marmolada, Corvara — The Dolomites' Best-Kept Secret There’s something quietly magical about Corvara, something that reaches in and settles deep in the soul of a skier. Maybe it's the gentle alpenglow that bathes the jagged peaks of the Dolomites at sunset, or the melodic rhythm of turns carved along the iconic Sellaronda circuit. Or maybe—it’s Hotel Marmolada. Nestled in the heart of Corvara, the unofficial capital of Alta Badia, Hotel Marmolada isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a return destination. For many UK skiers, this is their alpine home away from home. With just 42 rooms, it offers the intimacy of a chalet with the polish and service of a refined boutique hotel. Alpine Heritage with a Modern Soul Built in 1963 and still family-run, Hotel Marmolada is steeped in tradition yet completely in tune with today’s luxury-seeking skier. The style blends classic Alpine charm—think exposed beams, cosy lounges, and vintage ski memorabilia—with refined touches like panoramic windows and sleek spa facilities. It’s rustic, but never rough around the edges. The rooms range from snug Comfort Rooms to expansive Luxury Suites, each thoughtfully designed to reflect the warmth of Ladin hospitality. Expect wood accents, soft lighting, and views that invite you to linger longer in your bathrobe each morning. Location: Practically Ski-In Ski convenience is where Hotel Marmolada truly shines. Just 200 metres from the snow, the Col Alto lift is a gentle two-minute stroll, while the Boé lift, gateway to the Sellaronda circuit, is under five minutes away. There are no ski-in/ski-out gimmicks here—just genuine, frictionless access to the Dolomiti Superski domain. The hotel’s heated ski room, complete with boot warmers, makes early starts a pleasure rather than a chore. Discounted rentals are just across the street, and while there’s no formal ski concierge, the front desk acts like one—with personal advice on pistes, snow conditions, and insider mountain tips. Sellaronda: The Circuit That Keeps on Giving Hotel Marmolada’s doorstep leads directly into one of the most interconnected ski areas in the world: the Dolomiti Superski. With over 1,200km of pistes, it’s a playground for skiers of all levels. The Sellaronda loop—a 40km ski circuit around the Sella Massif—is the main draw here, a full-day ski safari through four Ladin valleys, each more spectacular than the last. And if your legs (and lungs) are up for it, there’s heli-skiing too. Yes, really. Hotel Marmolada can arrange for a chopper to whisk you to untouched powder bowls for the kind of ski day that earns bragging rights for years. Après-Ski Done Right At Hotel Marmolada, après-ski isn’t just a drink—it’s an event. The Toccami Lounge Bar buzzes with a low-key, joyful energy. Signature aperitifs flow, the fire crackles, and on live music nights, locals mingle with guests like old friends. The culinary offering matches the atmosphere. The Ladin-themed Thursday night dinner is a highlight—an homage to South Tyrol’s hearty mountain cuisine, followed by a dessert buffet that seems specifically designed to sabotage any thoughts of restraint. Prefer something lighter? A daytime à la carte lunch menu is available, and half-board guests are treated to gourmet dinners every night. Local wines and alpine produce take centre stage. Wine as an Experience Perhaps the most treasured aspect of the Hotel Marmolada stay is the in-house wine tasting experience. Held in the hotel’s private cellar, this intimate journey through South Tyrol’s finest vintages is led by the hotel owner himself—a man as passionate about hospitality as he is about wine. It’s not just about tasting—it’s storytelling, a crash course in terroir, tradition, and the Dolomite soul. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just wine-curious, it’s a memory in the making. Wellness That Works The spa facilities at Hotel Marmolada rival those of much larger hotels. After a long day on the slopes, guests can unwind in multiple saunas, a Turkish bath, a serene indoor pool, or a steaming outdoor whirlpool with views of snow-capped peaks. There’s a small fitness room too, for the iron-willed. Massages and beauty treatments are available à la carte, delivered by skilled therapists who understand a skier’s body. And the best part? Access to the wellness centre is included in your stay. Tailor-Made for Travellers Who Care Hotel Marmolada is a place for travellers who care about where they stay. It’s for skiers who want to go deeper—not just into powder, but into the heart of the place. From the Men’s World Cup Ski Race in December to private ski lessons and guided tours, experiences here feel curated. The vibe is familial, yet refined. The staff remembers your name. Your favourite table. How you take your coffee. Their motto—“Arrive as a guest, leave as a friend”—isn’t just painted on the wall; it’s lived, daily. What You Need to Know Rates: From €460 to €1,395 per night, bed and breakfast. Prices are dynamic based on season and availability. Best Deals: Book in December or March and take advantage of the Ski Special 43 offer—four nights for the price of three, ski pass included. Booking: Reserve via the official website, email, or major OTAs. But don’t wait—this one fills up fast. The Final Word Hotel Marmolada isn’t just a base for skiing—it’s part of the ski experience. For UK skiers craving authentic charm, flawless slopes, and heartfelt hospitality, this Corvara gem delivers in spades. It’s a hotel that doesn’t just meet expectations—it exceeds them, all while feeling like home. Mountain Lodge Telluride: A High-Alpine Hideaway with Heart There’s something magnetic about Telluride — a town where jagged peaks touch sapphire skies, and where powder days stretch longer than your average Alpine lunchtime. While most UK skiers stick to the well-trodden pistes of the Alps, those in the know are quietly turning their skis west — to Colorado, and more precisely, to Mountain Lodge Telluride, a ski-in/ski-out retreat that blends Wild West charm with rustic sophistication. If you’re seeking a North American adventure with seamless slope access, crackling fires, and a touch of mountain magic, this is your winter address. A Slice of the Rockies — Without the Hassle Getting to Telluride from the UK is easier than it sounds. Daily flights from Heathrow and Gatwick connect to major U.S. hubs like Denver or Dallas, with onward connections to Montrose Regional Airport. From there, it’s a stunning hour and a half drive through the San Juan Mountains — the sort of cinematic route where you half expect cowboys or eagles to cross your path. Shuttle companies operate from Montrose Airport for those who prefer not to drive themselves, making the journey even more effortless. Once you arrive in Telluride, you won’t need a car at all — everything is easily accessible on foot or via the free gondola between Mountain Village and downtown. Arrive at Mountain Lodge and the pace slows immediately. Set in the upper reaches of Mountain Village at over 2,900 metres the property feels worlds away from the bustle of big-name resorts — yet it’s just steps from the ski lift and a short gondola ride from Telluride’s downtown. Rustic Elegance at Altitude The lodge itself is a masterclass in Colorado style: timber-framed architecture, exposed stone fireplaces, and interiors that strike the perfect balance between lodge luxury and cabin comfort. Whether you book a cosy hotel room for two or a sprawling log cabin for ten, every space whispers warmth. Fireplaces glow, armchairs invite, and balconies open to endless mountain views. This isn’t the polished glitz of Aspen — it’s more grounded, more genuine. The kind of place where ski boots and slippers both feel right at home. True Ski-In, Ski-Out Simplicity Perhaps the biggest perk for British skiers? You won’t be trudging uphill in clunky boots or wrestling gear onto a shuttle bus. Mountain Lodge sits directly on the Double Cabins ski run, a gentle piste that connects you to the full expanse of Telluride Ski Resort — over 2,000 acres of terrain stretching from beginner-friendly greens to hair-raising hike-to chutes. Even in peak season, the slopes feel uncrowded. No jostling at lifts, no race for fresh corduroy. This is skiing as it should be: serene, scenic, and satisfying. The lodge features a well-equipped ski valet room (complete with boot dryers) and an on-site Ski Butlers rental shop, meaning you can travel light and get kitted out on arrival. Guests can also join guided ski tours of Telluride Ski Resort, led by Mountain Lodge’s knowledgeable staff — a brilliant way for first-timers or curious skiers to discover the best runs, hidden stashes, and panoramic vistas. Après Done Right After a day on the hill, the energy shifts to The View, Mountain Lodge’s inviting restaurant and bar. With wraparound windows that frame the fading light over the peaks, it’s a prime spot for a cold Colorado brew or a fireside Old Fashioned. The menu leans hearty but sophisticated — think elk burgers, Rocky Mountain trout, and warming stews served with crusty bread and mountain charm. Fridays bring live music, while monthly après-ski parties on the outdoor pool deck feature DJs, food specials, and a festive, locals-welcome vibe. It’s relaxed but lively — exactly the kind of après that makes you linger just a little longer before retreating to your cabin. Wellness in the Wilderness If you prefer a hot tub soak to a second run, Mountain Lodge won’t disappoint. The outdoor heated pool and hot tub are nestled among pines, steam rising as snowflakes fall. There’s a steam room and fitness centre on-site too — perfect for loosening ski legs or maintaining a routine. And while there’s no spa per se, the setting itself is restorative: high-alpine air, pine-scented breezes, and sunsets that glow pink over jagged peaks. Festive and Family-Friendly One of Mountain Lodge’s greatest strengths is its versatility. It’s ideal for couples, yes — but it truly shines for families and groups. The larger cabins sleep up to ten, with full kitchens, multiple living areas, and plenty of space to spread out. For multi-generational trips or ski clubs, it’s a godsend. Winter brings whimsical extras: gingerbread house competitions, ski-caroling, and festive dinners with custom menus. Whether you're sipping mulled wine on Christmas Eve or dancing at a New Year’s bash under the stars, the lodge knows how to make the season sparkle. Rates & Rewards For British travellers used to sky-high Alpine prices, Telluride offers surprising value — particularly with Mountain Lodge’s ‘5th Night Free’ winter promotion. Hotel rooms start from $300–$400 per night (approx. £240–£320) Condos range from $500–$700 (approx. £400–£560) Larger log cabins span $2,000–$3,000 per night (£1,600–£2,400), ideal for groups splitting costs. Booking direct at mountainlodgetelluride.com or via the reservations line (+1-866-368-6867) guarantees the best rates and personalised support. Why Telluride? Why Now? In a ski world dominated by glitz and crowds, Telluride stands apart. It’s authentic, uncrowded, and visually jaw-dropping. And Mountain Lodge is its warmest welcome — a base that feels both luxurious and laid-back, tailored for British skiers seeking an experience, not just accommodation. For powder-seekers, solitude-lovers, or anyone craving a true escape this winter, Mountain Lodge Telluride is more than a place to stay. It’s a place to belong. More Inspo - InTheSnow Resort Guide
