Ski in style, Austria
After boarding your own private jet and enjoying champagne and Beluga caviar canapés on the flight to the elegant Austrian resort of Lech, you and your guests will be whisked straight to the slopes by limousine - chauffeur-driven, naturally.

Short skiing breaks rarely come more stylish than this, but if you want to really up the glamour then book yourself into the Gasthof Post. One of the area’s most celebrated hotels, it simply oozes class and has its own indoor pool, solarium and posh health club.

When you venture on to the broad, sunny slopes, check out your fellow skiers. Although it may look like a traditional Austrian village that’s great for family skiing, Lech also happens to be one of the most exclusive resorts in the Alps, a regular haunt of the rich and famous and a big favourite of the late Princess Diana and her sons William and Harry.
