Whether you’re a powder-seeker, spa junkie or all about the après, these chalet picks will have you swooning

FOR THE SPA SLOTHS

CHALET N, LECH Sleeping 24 guests with 26 staff on hand—most notably the award-winning Marent brothers in the kitchen—chalet N sits in Austria’s Arlberg region, the birthplace of modern skiing, and comes with complimentary heli transfers from the airport. There’s a home cinema, wine cellar, bulletproof windows and rainforest showers surrounded by Swarovski crystal curtains. The star feature, though, is the spa, which takes up an entire floor of the chalet and comprises a stunning indoor pool area and outdoor hot tub, a Finnish sauna and a salt-cave steam bath. Enjoy a beauty treatment, work out in the gym (hmmm) or simply sleep off that schnitzel in one of the spa’s quiet rooms. From HK$2.5 million per week. chalet-n.com

FOR THE DAREDEVILS

BIGHORN, REVELSTOKE Like your skiing light on piste and big on powder? Then Revelstoke in British Columbia, the birthplace of heli-skiing, could be the spot for you, with its massive annual fall of fluffy, dry powder and incredible variety of terrain. And Bighorn has its own private helipad, bringing all the adventure right to your chalet door. The massive 15,000sqft property has eight ensuite bedrooms with balconies, an indoor cinema, a cocktail bar, a fully kitted out entertainment room, a gym, two massage rooms, an indoor plunge pool, a sauna and an outdoor hot tub. From HK$442,000 for up to 16 people for a week (helicopter rides extra). bighornrevelstoke.com
