Mountain Escapes: 6 Perfect Ski Holidays for Couples

When it comes to ski holidays for couples, not all resorts are made equal. It could be your first snowy escape together or a yearly tradition filled with shared après tales, but there’s something uniquely romantic about the mountains. Think crisp mornings, scenic chairlift rides, mulled wine by the fire, and those unforgettable moments made better by snowflakes and sunsets.

At Skiworld, we live and breathe the mountain lifestyle, so we know exactly what makes a couples’ ski holiday special. From romantic chalets with private hot tubs to handpicked resorts full of character and charm, here are six of our favourite places for couples to escape, explore and reconnect.

Where are the Best Ski Holidays for Couples?

Courchevel, France – For Luxe and Lovebirds

If you’re planning a ski trip that’s equal parts style and substance, Courchevel is your go-to. Part of the legendary Three Valleys ski area, it offers vast terrain for adventurous days together, but it’s the luxurious touches that really make it shine for couples.

Think boutique spas, Champagne bars, and award-winning mountain restaurants. Walk hand-in-hand through snowy streets, then retreat to Chalet Benjamin, where a private hot tub with sweeping views sets the mood for a perfect evening.

Couples’ tip: On your chalet hosts evening off, why not treat yourselves to a Michelin-starred dinner and toast to love at 1,800m?

St Anton, Austria – For Adrenaline and Après

If your idea of romance includes powder days and partying in ski boots, St Anton won’t disappoint. This Austrian gem in the Arlberg region offers over 300km of pistes and some of the best off-piste skiing in Europe.

And when the lifts close? The après scene comes alive. MooserWirt, anyone? Glühwein under fairy lights? But St Anton isn’t all high-energy—there’s plenty of cosy spots, spa sessions, and quiet mountain corners too.

Stay at Chalet Rendl, where you can swap ski stories over a hearty dinner before curling up fireside.

Couples’ tip: Take a late afternoon gondola ride and catch the sunset over the peaks.

Val d’Isère, France – Iconic and Intimate

Val d’Isère is a resort that’s got it all: iconic slopes, guaranteed snow, and an effortlessly romantic alpine vibe. It’s ideal for couples who want variety on the mountain and atmosphere off it.

Wander cobbled streets lined with twinkling lights, share a fondue in a rustic mountain hut, or ski together across vast terrain with stunning backdrops. With Chalet Tolima as your base, you’ll be close to the action yet tucked away in a cosy, quiet setting.

Couples’ tip: Try a husky sledding experience—it’s unforgettable and surprisingly peaceful.

Alpe d’Huez, France – Sun, Snow, and Serenity

Alpe d’Huez is a high-altitude haven that’s perfect for couples who want sunshine with their snow. With 250km of pistes, including the famously long Sarenne run, there’s more than enough to fill your days with adventure.

It’s also one of the sunniest resorts in the Alps, which means scenic lunches on sun-drenched terraces and golden-hour views from the lifts. When it’s time to wind down, explore the charming village or relax at Chalet Père Josef 2, one of Skiworld’s snug retreats.

Couples’ tip: Pack your sunnies and book a table at a slope-side restaurant for a romantic lunch with a view.

Meribel, France – Alpine Charm for Two

Meribel is a picture-perfect destination made for couples who want alpine charm and access to world-class skiing. Its chocolate-box chalets and forest-lined runs offer a fairytale setting, while 600km of pistes are right at your doorstep.

Stay in one of our catered chalets such as the Chalet Laetitia and enjoy evenings filled with good wine, great food, and no washing up. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and savour every snowy moment together.

Couples’ tip: Ski the scenic blue runs through the trees in the late afternoon for that golden winter glow.

Les Deux Alpes, France – Adventure and Après

For couples who like to mix adrenaline with après, Les Deux Alpes is the place to be. Home to glacier skiing and a vast, varied ski area, this resort guarantees snow-sure conditions and plenty of challenge, no matter your level.

Après-ski here is buzzing. Start with drinks at The Umbrella Bar and end the night dancing at Avalanche. When you’re ready to slow it down, head back to Chalet Chamois Volant, where a warm welcome and homely vibe await.

Couples’ tip: For a quieter moment, ride the gondola to the glacier and take in panoramic views together.
