5 Ski Hotels We’d Book for a Winter Girls’ Trip
Winter trips hit differently when the hotel is just as much the destination as the mountain. Think fireside cocktails, outdoor hot tubs framed by snow-covered peaks, spa afternoons that turn into champagne evenings, and rooms you actually want to linger in.
These are five ski hotels we’d book for a winter girls’ trip — chosen for atmosphere, design, après-ski appeal, and that intangible “we should stay one more night” feeling.
5. The Little Nell — Aspen, Colorado
Aspen’s most iconic address, and for good reason. The Little Nell pairs ski-in/ski-out convenience with a refined, quietly glamorous energy that works just as well for first chair as it does for late-night martinis. Expect elevated dining, an excellent wine program, and a crowd that knows how to do après properly.
Why it’s perfect for a girls’ trip:
Unmatched service, walkability into town, and a polished social scene that never feels overdone.
Luxury ski hotels don’t get much more indulgent than this. Cheval Blanc Courchevel feels intimate yet impossibly refined, with Michelin-level dining, serene interiors, and ski access that makes mornings effortless.
Why it’s perfect for a girls’ trip:
Spa afternoons, slow breakfasts, and an ultra-chic European atmosphere that feels celebratory without being loud.
3. Cervo Mountain Resort — Zermatt, Switzerland
Set above Zermatt with sweeping views of the Matterhorn, Cervo feels like a modern alpine village designed for connection and calm. Cozy interiors, wellness-forward experiences, and a laid-back luxury vibe make it especially appealing for a group trip.
Why it’s perfect for a girls’ trip:
Fireside lounging, wellness rituals, and a more relaxed alternative to traditional ski glamour.
2. Madeline Hotel & Residences — Telluride, Colorado
Telluride has a more understated cool factor, and the Madeline fits right in. With ski-in/ski-out access, beautiful mountain views, and a cozy-meets-polished aesthetic, it’s perfect for groups who want equal parts adventure and comfort.
Why it’s perfect for a girls’ trip:
Great après energy without the scene feeling overwhelming — plus stunning scenery everywhere you look.
1. Les Airelles Courchevel — Courchevel, France
Whimsical, opulent, and unapologetically grand, Les Airelles is winter fantasy brought to life. Think fairytale architecture, lavish interiors, and an experience that feels straight out of a storybook — but with five-star everything.
Why it’s perfect for a girls’ trip:
It’s dramatic in the best way — ideal for milestone trips, birthdays, or a “once-in-a-lifetime” winter escape.
