Best Hotels in Mountain Regions

Brief History of Iconic Ski Resorts

Rich Englishmen were the first to perceive skiing as a form of recreation and new excitement. The sport became popular for the first time in 1920. With her intuition, Baroness Morris de Rothschild recognized the tourism industry in Megeve and founded her first hotel. Others quickly followed suit. Winter sports were not yet accessible in the Alps, but the luxury hotel sector was already developing. Thus, an unstoppable and highly productive industry emerged in pristine valleys of Gstaad and Courchevel.

The architecture and interiors of the most prestigious Alpine hotels remain rich sanctuaries where guests can rest after a tiring day of skiing, whether futuristic, modern or classic hotels. Proof is in the photos!
