Switzerland is a dream for luxury skiing—and so much more.

From charming après-ski lounges to private chalet dining, we know all the spots that make this winter paradise unforgettable.

STAY: The Tschuggen Grand Hotel Arosa is as unique as the views it offers. With ski-in access via the Tschuggen Express (a private mountain railway just for guests!), a spa so striking it’s an architectural masterpiece, and dining that rivals the scenery, this is alpine luxury done right.

INSIDER TIP: For a unique way to explore, take a husky sled ride through the snowy trails of Arosa. And if you’re hitting the slopes, the Tschuggen Express offers effortless access and unbeatable views along the way.

There’s so much more to Italy than the tourist hotspots. We love sending our clients to the hidden corners of Piedmont for bold Barolo wines, guiding them to Matera’s winding streets, or arranging a stay along Puglia’s stunning beaches.

Spring in Victoria, BC, is pure magic. The flowers are blooming, the weather is perfect, and there’s no better place to soak it all in than the iconic Fairmont Empress.

Here’s why we love it: This historic hotel is right on the waterfront, giving you front-row views of the Inner Harbour. Walk through the city’s gardens or settle in for the Empress’s famous Afternoon Tea—it’s been a tradition for over a century, and yes, it’s that good.
