Best Romantic Skiing Destinations

There’s nothing more romantic than heading to the mountains for a high alpine respite with your dearest. A romantic ski trip provides couples with privacy they can’t experience on other vacations, plus, a laundry list of winter activities to experience side-by-side and, of course, plenty of opportunities to cozy up to the fireplace together. With the year’s most romantic day on the horizon, here are some ski resorts known for romance.

Telluride, CO - If escaping to a remote box canyon with your sweetie sounds like your kind of romantic getaway, Telluride ski resortwill fulfill that aspiration within your first glimpse of this incredibly beautiful mountain town. Boasting some of Colorado’s most breathtaking views and several on-mountain dining options that perfectly exploit the natural scenery, Telluride is the quintessential place to clink celebratory glasses to one another. Alpino Vino is a lovely little on-mountain dining hütte, reminiscent of a dining experience in the Dolomites of Northern Italy. Here you and your honey can cozy up with sheep skin blankets and experience an exceptional international wine list, with San Juan mountain views to match. Bon Vivant, an open-air, on-mountain dining patio, is another romantic spot to enjoy European Alpine fair, world-class wine and scenery.

Avon, CO — Glide around the Beaver Creek village ice rink hand in hand or grab an intimate—and memorable—dinner at Beano’s Cabin, which requires a romantic snowcat-drawn sleigh ride to access the high-alpine restaurant. Beaver Creek’s self-contained village is ideal for the couple looking to take the guesswork out of their romantic ski vacation. The village features a slew of incredible dining experiences, on mountain and off. Sure to keep energetic significant others busy, Beaver Creek offers plenty of activities like Nordic skiing at McCoy Park. Fine-dining lovebirds will enjoy an evening at the Ritz Carlton’s Spago.

Lech, Austria — Remote, exclusive, quaint and romantic are all things that describe a Lech ski vacation. Located in a box canyon abutted by Flexen Pass, this Alpine resort is a favorite among celebrities for its exclusivity and natural beauty. Just getting there is a romantic experience. Visitors drive, or take a bus, through steep valleys and 9,000-foot peaks which provide an unforgettable entrance. Because of its remoteness, you’ll hardly experience lift lines, which is not the case at nearby St. Anton, or even sister resort, Zürs. The skiing is truly world-world class both on-piste or off. Advanced and expert couples shouldn’t miss the chance to ski the “White Ring” off-piste ski routes together. Lech is a ski area that spares no expense—the chairlifts are heated and the many intermediate (blue or red) runs are manicured to perfection. The charming village features an ancient and beautiful Gothic church worth a visit.

Banff, AB, Canada — When you first visit Banff Lake Louise you’ll quickly understand why Canada has made serious efforts to protect the surrounding wilderness. Nature-lovers and lovers alike will be in awe of nearby Banff National Park’s pristine beauty. The park offers winter tours, and there’s nothing like experiencing nature in its purest form with the one you love. Banff Lake Louise ski resorts are great for a couple with differing levels of ski or snowboard ability. Sunshine Village is great for beginners and intermediates, while advanced intermediates will likely prefer Mt. Norquay, and advanced and expert skiers and riders can get their adrenaline kicks at Lake Louise. If you’re in town during Valentine’s Day, don’t miss Lake Louise’s Valentine’s Day Torchlight Dinner and Parade.
