Top ski hotels in Europe for 2021

While some of us are using the winter as an excuse to curl up inside with hot chocolate and a good book, the rest can’t wait to get outside and hit the slopes (and then the bar, for a little après-ski, of course!).

Now is the perfect time to book your 2021 European ski holiday and we’ve scoured Hotels.com to find you the best deals on the top ski hotels in Europe this winter!

If you’re looking for some classic Alpine skiing then check out our choices from Switzerland or France. If you’re on a budget then see our budget-friendly options of Bulgaria or Poland. If you’d like to combine skiing with sightseeing, then maybe Sweden or Norway are more your style. Whatever your skiing taste, check out our top ski hotels!
