There are few luxuries that rival being able to click into your skis, glide straight from your front door onto the piste, and return home again without so much as a shuttle bus in sight. Ski-in/ski-out chalets in Europe are consistently one of our most requested property types, and for good reason: they maximise every minute of your time on the mountain, whilst still delivering all the comfort and indulgence of a luxury catered chalet.

From vast family-friendly residences to intimate hideaways for two, we’ve compiled some of the best luxury ski-in/ski-out chalets in Europe, spread across France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy…
