The French Alps were blessed with exceptional ski conditions this past winter, and even now, in April, there is still plenty of fresh powder on the Alpine slopes in places, such as Chamonix.
Other positive news coming out of Chamonix this year is the success of one of its newest hotels, the Heliopic, which opened just before Christmas in the resort, just a 20-minute helicopter journey from Geneva airport.
The four star Heliopic Hotel Sweet and Spa stands right at the foot of the Aiguille du Midi cable car, which links the resort of Chamonix directly with the Mount Blanc ski domain.
With more than 100 rooms, all designed discretely in soft greys and warm browns; the hotel is the ultimate in luxury and the ideal place to unwind after a skiing session down the exceptional runs of Chamonix.
Other inviting features include a cosy library downstairs as well as an in-hotel ski shop to kit you out with all the necessary equipment before you hit the slopes.
Also a big bonus of this brand new hotel is its exceptional Nuxe Spa which offers unusual treatments such as an Ice Grotto, in which you cover your body in crushed ice from a fountain before jumping into a warm bath.
The Spa and Wellness Centre, which enjoys stunning views over Mont Blanc, also has an indoor pool with a water wall, a Japanese hot tub and a Banya – a traditional Russian steam bath.
The restaurant at the Héliopic Hotel & Spa boast a copious menu that puts spotlight on traditional French cuisine, accompanied by an exceptional selection of prestigious wines.
