The best luxury ski locations in North America
Come winter, the USA and Canada boast a wealth of impressive luxury ski destinations to choose from. We’ve put together some of the best North American ski holidays to inspire your next private jet charter with us. Whether you’re looking for the most luxurious ski resorts in the USA or you’re drawn to the rugged peaks of Canada, our private charter service ensures you arrive closer to the slopes than commercial travel allows.
Aspen, Colorado, USA
Aspen is one of the most well-known luxury ski resorts. Stars and celebrities are regular visitors, with the likes of Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner owning real estate here. The skiing is exceptional, with four mountain areas each catering to a variety of styles and skill levels.
With some of the highest average property prices in America, finding the best luxury ski resorts in the USA often begins here. The W Aspen pays tribute to the town’s reputation as a high-society playground, while The St. Regis Aspen Resort pays homage to the area’s historical roots. The Residences at The Little Nell is perhaps one of the most exclusive places to stay, offering opulent condos and world-class dining.
For a seamless transition to the mountain, we can arrange arrivals at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE), located just three miles away, or coordinate larger aircraft via Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE).
Vail, Colorado, USA
It’s easy to see why Vail is quickly becoming a primary destination for luxury skiing in the USA. Regularly setting the benchmark for alpine elegance, Vail Village is the epitome of exclusive opulence. Heated streets keep the snow off cobbled sidewalks, allowing easy access to boutique hotels and first-class restaurants.
For charming and lavish accommodation, The Arrabelle at Vail Square offers sprawling residences and premier suites with stunning mountain views. For more classic luxury, the Grand Hyatt Vail and the Four Seasons hotel offer guests contemporary rooms and elegant spas.
To access this expansive terrain, we coordinate travel via Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), roughly 35 miles away, or Centennial Airport (APA) for those connecting through Denver.
Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada, USA
Situated on the state line, Lake Tahoe is a central focal point for the surrounding luxury ski resorts in the USA. The largest destination, Heavenly, lies to the south and offers plenty of variety for all skiing standards.
Luxurious accommodation is found in abundance at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort, where villa suites provide uninterrupted views of the lake. Meanwhile, The Ritz-Carlton provides the perfect base for private jet charters, with mountain concierge services and heated pools.
We can coordinate your arrival at Truckee-Tahoe Airport (TRK) for direct access to North Lake, or at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) for larger groups requiring extensive ground support.
Beaver Creek, Colorado, USA
A real gem in the Rockies, Beaver Creek prides itself on an upmarket experience; the area’s tagline, “not exactly roughing it,” says it all. The resort comprises three villages, with Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead home to central plazas and grand hotels, such as the Park Hyatt.
The Travel Division at Air Charter Service can help coordinate bespoke itineraries for these quieter, more exclusive valley towns, typically beginning with a convenient arrival at Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) just 30 minutes from the village.
Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
Located in the Coast Mountains, Whistler is a gorgeous winter haven. The Fairmont Chateau Whistler stands tall against the soaring peaks, providing the perfect respite. For a more relaxed vibe, the Four Seasons Whistler is a decadent alternative.
Talk to our team to help arrange your next private jet charter to British Columbia via Vancouver International Airport (YVR), where we can also coordinate a 30-minute helicopter transfer directly to the Whistler base.
Mont Tremblant, Québec, Canada
If you’re searching for a European feel without the transatlantic flight, Mont Tremblant is a glorious alternative. With its cute cobbled streets and brightly colored buildings, it’s often described as the skiing world’s alternative to Disneyland. For a five-star experience, Hotel Quintessence offers a delightfully cozy all-suite option.
The French-inspired charm of the Laurentians is easily accessible via Mont-Tremblant International Airport (YTM). Situated only 30 minutes from the resort, this facility is specifically designed to handle private arrivals, ensuring your transition to the mountain is as sophisticated as the destination itself.
Banff, Alberta, Canada
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Banff National Park offers jaw-dropping scenery. The cream of the crop for accommodation is the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel – this castle-like building is like something out of a fairytale and has hosted icons like Marilyn Monroe.
To reach these protected landscapes, we utilize Calgary International Airport (YYC) or explore more direct entry points via Springbank Airport (YBW) for light and midsize jets.
