You could stay in a hotel or you could rent out a chalet, but there’s nothing quite like owning your own piece of real estate paradise on the slopes. With skiing season just round the corner, now’s the ideal time to invest in some of the best holiday homes imaginable.
1. Courchevel, France
This magnificent chalet gives immediate ski in ski out access to Courchevel’s slopes. There’s plenty of space in the property, with 13 parking bays, a pool with a mountain views, and several very open rooms. With access to the Trois Vallees and several neighbouring villages, including the resort of Meribel, this would be an excellent purchase.

2. Chalet Cocon, Megève, France
An exceptionally luxurious escape, this chalet is set in a hectare of gardens, with the property itself spanning over 1000 square metres. With stunning living areas and a charismatic bar, as well as a charming dining room and sizeable gym, this is more than just a chalet; it’s a home.
3. Val d’Isere, France
One of the largest new build chalets recently built in the resort, this holiday home combines a traditional chalet feel with its contemporary build. The overriding aspect of this chalet is the natural light available to every room, with a great deal being provided by the magnificent atrium at the heart of the property.

4. Courchevel, France
This is a chalet not lacking in space whatsoever, with 8 bedrooms spread out over 6 floors, all of which are en suite. The chalet’s interior is luxurious, with the pool and spa area being a particular highlight, including a sauna, hamman, massage room and gym. The cinema and games room are just there if you get bored of the excellent Trois Vallees skiing, which we think you won’t.

5. The Sonalon, Verbier, Switzerland
If you’re looking for a slice of the authentic, this is the chalet for you. Located in the heights of Verbier, this chalet has been constructed using old wood in a traditional style, in keeping with the local architecture. Its interior has been designed by a leading London based interior designer, boasting an impressive grand salon complete with stone fireplace, and an impressive pool and spa, topped off with a cinema room. Giving you a commanding view of the village below and the stunning surrounding mountain ranges, this really is a superlative property.
