For an effortlessly stylish resort, the pick of some of the best restaurants in the Alps and a little of la dolce vita, head to the famous Italian resort of Courmayeur. Over half of the ski runs in the resort are red, so it’s a great resort for intermediate skiers. Advanced skiers can experience the Vallèe Blanche descent into Chamonix, France – incredible off-piste skiing combined with breathtaking scenery. The pretty Cristallo is a gorgeous chalet-hotel in Courmayeur, nestled between shops, bars and restaurants, and just a few minutes’ walk from the cable car. Mark Warner offers family breaks during school holidays (over-sevens only) for a week, including half board, flights and transfers, from £1,095 per adult and £1,035 per child.
