  While this particular Courchevel Airbnb doesn't have much availability left for the 2026-27 winter season, keep checking for cancellations, or do as most pros do and book ahead for the following ski season.

• Cabin in Italy with stunning mountain views

  Number of guests: 5
  Bed and bath: 3 bedrooms, 1 bath
  Why we love it: Alps-facing windows, loft-like design, proximity to ski lifts, kid-friendly amenities, wood-burning fireplace, firepit

  Tucked deep within the sun-drenched, snow-dusted Italian Alps, this five-guest cabin is all about intentional design. Lovingly restored to preserve its ancient, weathered roof beams, the home strikes a nice balance between a historic mountain refuge and a whimsical, real-life snow globe. Through its expansive glass windows, the Alps present themselves like a painting.

  Inside, the aesthetic is a mix of old-world rustic and contemporary chic—from the raw, organic timber grounds to bold, spirited splashes of color that come alive in each room. The location is a winter lover’s dream, too. You can step right out the front door to go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, or drive just 10 minutes to reach the Torgnon downhill ski station. The bottom of the valley is a half-hour drive away, and the premier slopes of Cervinia are just 50 minutes from your doorstep.

  A quick note on the layout: The third bedroom is an open loft that looks down into the living room. It offers a wonderful view of the cabin, but has less privacy than the other bedrooms.

  Perfect for a duo, this one-bedroom retreat features sliding glass doors that look out onto cascading mountains right from the comfort of your king bed.

  Bed and bath: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath
  Why we love it: Sauna, firepit, slopeside location, indoor fireplace, mountain views

  Perched directly alongside the cross-country trails, this cozy, family-friendly chalet is a gem of a winter base camp—putting ski lifts, local shops, and local restaurants just a short stroll away. From your window, the views are pure magic, stretching out toward the dramatic, snow-dusted peaks of Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland.

  The resort itself is a beginner’s paradise, featuring gentle, floodlit slopes that turn night skiing into a fairytale experience for all ages. And after a day of hitting the slopes, you can thaw out by unwinding around the wood-burning fireplace in your living room, stargazing from the panoramic glass dome in the sauna, or sink into the town’s steaming (and renowned) thermal wellness baths.

  For a true family-friendly ski vacation that's more affordable than that of the Alps or Dolomites, consider booking a trip to this ever-endearing corner of western Norway.

For even more incentive to travel here with young skiers, there are three children's areas, and beginners have raved about the help from the ski school and ski rental services.

  Back at home, let your muscles relax in the hot tub, rejuvenate in the sauna, and sit around the firepit under a glittery sky of stars.

Walkable to the ski resort, you'll have access to its lifts without driving.

  Back at home, two bedrooms boast king beds while the other two each have a queen—and if you're traveling with a little one, you'll have kid-friendly amenities at the ready, from a crib to a high chair. For kiddies a touch older, there's a game console (a PlayStation5!) as well as arcade games for more post-mountain fun.
