The villages of the Alps feel like little worlds of their own at the best of times, surrounded as they are by peaks, dark forests and – in winter – banks of snow.

Luckily, there’s enough on arrival to justify this scenic isolation, with 140 miles of downhill ski slopes at all difficulty levels, plus plenty of cross-country routes and winter walking trails.
