Crisp pistes and delicious mountain views make the ski vacation the ultimate winter wonderland getaway. Take your luxury escape to new heights with these opulent picks of resorts from around the world.

Avid skiers are Alaska-bound this winter, having been hailed as the go-to place to heli-ski. Tordrillo Mountain Lodge offers rustic-modern lodges, private cabins, and luxury lifestyle amenities just a 40-minute flight from Anchorage, Alaska, on the banks of the Talachulitna River and their own Judd Lake.

After a day of exploring the alpine surroundings, guests can take off their ski boots and enjoy an in-room spa treatment, a wine tasting from the 500-bottle wine cellar, and an indulgent Alaskan gastronomical experience. Olympic gold medalist Tommy Moe and heli-ski pioneer Mike Overcast founded the resort in 2006 to share their passion for the outdoors, redefining big mountain adventures in the Alaskan wilderness.

The five-star resort provides guests with a true remote luxury experience including a renovated main lodge, alpine-chic private cabins, high-end amenities, top-of-the-line adventure equipment, in-room spa treatments, and gourmet cuisine. Named one of the best heli-ski resorts in the world by CNN Travel and Robb Report and known for the first and only via feratta in Alaska, the lodge also offers epic summer adventures including flightseeing and wildlife viewing from their turbine otter, wakeboarding, fat tire mountain biking, salmon fishing, glacier hiking and more.

Rates begin at $15,000 per week or for a private buyout for a group of eight starting at $120,000 per week and include seven days of heli adventures, transportation, safety equipment, skiing and snowboarding demos, and gourmet meals.

VICEROY SNOWMASS, Colorado

One of the best ski resorts in Colorado. Viceroy Snowmass is one of Colorado’s preeminent mountain ultra-luxe properties. With a world-class spa, private pool, trailside bar, top-notch culinary destinations, modern-chic chalet rooms, and endless offerings.

Snowmass is known for some of the best hiking, biking, and skiing trails in the area, and many locals head out of Aspen and into Snowmass for the opportunity to grace its great outdoors activities.

In this package, everything is over-the-top, as the hotel meets every guest’s need ensuring a most stress-free ski getaway. Skip the airport lines by arriving via private jet, as Viceroy Snowmass staff handle everything you hate about the arrival process, from handling ski equipment and bags, transfers via a luxury vehicle, and expedited check-in.

After arriving in style, be first on the mountain as concierge prep ski equipment (waxing, edging, and boot warming) as you are greeted by a private instructor who will divulge the secret “powder stashes” that only the locals know about, even if fresh snow didn’t happen that night. Guests have access to a private driver for the entirety of the stay, to venture into Aspen and beyond with ease and privacy. Or settle in with inclusive daily spa treatments, to ensure maximum muscle performance and recovery.
