The appeal: L’art de vivre in an awesome Alps setting, which means you can ski one run that is almost five kilometers long from above Courchevel 1850 and arrive at a Savoyard farmhouse for lunch. Eat outside on the terrace with a lap blanket and views of an 18th-century village steeple or inside at an antique table near the wine cellar.
Who it’s right for: Couples should book the Amanresort’s Le Mélézin with a sexy indoor swimming pool and fur-blanketed beds. Traditional families prefer Les Airelles...

Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano is HEAVEN. Charming, elegant, family-run hotel in the beautiful Dolomites. I would not change one thing about this cozy property, its fabulous restaurants, or its staff, so accommodating you want to invent ridiculous challenges just to watch them deliver on them.
