It's time to start planning your upcoming ski vacation. And let's hope it will be much better than the previous two winters, which were incredibly difficult as the ski resorts battled the pandemic's lingering impacts and the effects of climate change. The gorgeous Alps, which span about one thousand miles (1600 km), and five nations—Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland—remain the most excellent location for a ski vacation. The Alps have some of the best skiing in the world and a ton of après-ski amenities, including Michelin-starred restaurants, extravagant hotels, and relaxing spas. We've compiled a list of our top 10 ski hotels in France for the 2023 winter to help you in planning your upcoming winter vacation.

The highest hotel in the Alps has floor-to-ceiling windows, a distinctive diamond-shaped atrium, and plenty of natural light. The spa is spread across an enormous 800 square meters, and Michelin-starred chef Eric Samson does miracles in the cuisine.

#3 Le Kaïla

In general, Meribel is more of a chalet resort, but Hotel Le Kaila is a stunning exception. It is located in the center of the largest ski area in the world, 50 meters from the closest lift, and is furnished in stylish alpine style. In addition, the NUXE spa is located there and caters to your wellness needs.

In December 2012, Méribel's only five-star hotel, situated in the resort's center, opened its doors. The furnishings are tasteful and exquisite throughout, offering the height of luxury. Enjoy a drink at the stunning piano bar and a delicious meal at the Michelin-starred restaurant. Additionally, there is the magnificent 500m2 Spa Nuxe, which features a pool, a sauna, a steam room, aqua riding, hydromassage jets, and water sprays.

The hotel has Spa Nuxe with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool, and fitness room. It's included in the price.

#4 Heliopic Hotel & Spa

Any hotel with panoramic views of Mount Blanc will be popular, but it's much better if it's directly at the base of the famous Aguille du Midi and has a cable car right across the street. The design results from a dream team: Lesley Gauthier handled the stylish 1950s interior design, while Jean-Claude Descombes is the maestro of chalet-style architecture.

Heliopic Hotel & Spa

France, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

We are thrilled to highlight this cutting-edge, stylish, yet welcoming hotel at the base of the Aiguille du Midi cable car, which provides access to the infamous Valley Blanche (guide required, book locally).

Its lovely spa, around 500m2, is accessible to residents during the day. The innovative design, a treat for skiers and non-skiers, features hot areas (saunas, hammams, and jacuzzis) connected to the cold area by a cozy "tiedipaerium" and featuring an ice cave and plunge pool. Additionally, there is a sizable indoor pool. Massages, hairdressers, and beauty services are also provided (pay locally).

#5 Hotel Village Montana by Les Etincelles

Less like a hotel and more like the village that its name implies, complete with eateries, bars, and a luxurious spa. If you like a little more DIY, stay in the 4* hotel, 5* suites, or self-catered apartments.

#6 Chalet Mounier

One of our favorite hotels for foodies in the entire Alps, where Le P'tit Polyte chef Mathew Hegarty holds a well-deserved Michelin star for his exquisite gourmet fare. The hotel has been operating since 1879 and is well-versed in providing first-rate hospitality.

#7 Hôtel Le Sherpa Val Thorens

Come to Le Sherpa for the hip new "cosmic sauna," the proximity to the slopes, or the food, which one of our wonderful guests praised as "the greatest in a ski hotel anywhere." This cozy, family-run hotel consistently receives excellent reviews.

#8 Hotel Taj-I Mah by Les Etincelles

Taj I Mar opened in December 2016 and is located far away in Arc 2000. It also has all the amenities you'd anticipate from Paradiski's first five-star hotel, including elegant decor, upscale dining, spa services, and jaw-dropping views.

La Rosiere's newest hotel is called Hotel Ily. The hotel has beautiful amenities and a contemporary, natural style.

After a long day on the slopes, the restaurant's sizable bar area is ideal. You can choose between relaxing on the bright, south-facing balcony or cuddling up by the fire. The "Tonka Chocolate Factory" offers cake slices and hot chocolate for a quick snack break.

The majority of the rooms have long balconies where guests may enjoy the scenery and fresh mountain air. All of the rooms have a natural and light design. The hotel is a beautiful choice for families and groups because it offers spacious Family Suites and some interconnecting rooms.

A luxurious spa is an ideal location to unwind and provides stunning mountain views. An indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub, two indoor hot tubs, a sauna, a relaxation space, and a steam room are all included in the spa area.

#10 La Cachette

Hotel La Cachette is all about convenience and is located in Arc 1600 at the foot of the hills. It doesn't get any simpler to explore Arc 1600 because it is ski-in, ski-out, next to the lifts, and in the middle of town. This makes it possible to be the first on the mountain. An old favorite with a fresh appearance and new management, this chic choice offers outstanding views of the French Alps.

This is a fantastic option for your skiing vacation with the hotel's contemporary and traditional décor and huge windows overlooking the slope and village. The hotel is situated in a prominent hamlet at the top of the Arc 1600 funicular. When the snow has been excellent, ski in/ski out is an option, but if not, this hotel is easily accessible after a long day of skiing. On a clear day, the sundeck is the ideal spot to relax. Or, if you'd like, you may curl up in front of the fireplace in the lounge and bar area with its floor-to-ceiling windows.
