Packing for a ski holiday in the French Alps isn’t just about keeping warm, it’s about arriving in style and feeling effortlessly prepared for whatever the mountains (or the après scene) may bring. Whether you’re headed to Courchevel, Val d’Isère or Méribel, here’s our essential guide for the perfectly packed alpine escape.

On the Slopes
Invest in high-performance outerwear that blends function with fashion. Think sleek insulated jackets from Moncler or Fusalp, waterproof salopettes, and layered merino thermals. Don’t forget UV-protective goggles, touchscreen ski gloves, and a stylish helmet, we love POC for both safety and aesthetic.

Après-Ski & Chalet Life
After a day on the slopes, unwind in luxe comfort. Pack cosy knitwear, cashmere loungewear, and fur-lined snow boots (Inuikii or Moon Boot are both mountain favourites). A chic puffer or shearling coat elevates any village stroll.

Evening Glamour
Many of our guests enjoy elegant dinners prepared by their in-chalet private chef. For evenings in, bring refined but relaxed pieces: silk shirts, tailored trousers, or a favourite cocktail dress. Don’t forget smart-casual shoes and something warm to wear between the dining room and hot tub.

Little Luxuries
A travel-size skincare kit (with SPF), noise-cancelling headphones, and a great book for fireside reading are alpine essentials. If you’re planning a workcation, include your tech gear, our chalets are fully equipped for remote working.

From ski gear to supper attire, packing with intention means you can relax into the rhythm of mountain life, with everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
