A luxury apartment complex opens in the Swiss resort of Laax next month.

Peaks Place, at the base of the resort, will have 74 luxurious apartments, a spacious spa and underground parking.

The modern one, two and three-bed apartments have balconies overlooking the Crap Sogn Gion mountain.

The one-bed apartments have one bathroom with bath, and the larger apartments have a second bathroom with a shower.

Use of the spa is free for guests, including a pool and saunas.

Laax, 1.5 hours’ drive from Zurich, has established itself as an international freestyle resort with three half pipes, two mini ski boardercross courses and two freestyle parks.

The Meribel Mountain Retreat opens this winter season, promising luxury accommodation in a peaceful location but within easy reach of Meribel.

In the pretty village of Le Villard, Meribel-les Allues, the retreat sleeps 18-20 people in two traditional stone chalets.

The main chalet has six bedrooms and a generous 16 metre dining table to accommodate all guests together.

A smaller chalet sleeps four to six people.

Winter stays include the free use of a Cadillac Escalade cruiser with driver, breakfast, butler and daily maid services, concierge, food-shopping and ski rep services.

The retreat comes with views of 13 villages, across the Bozel valley and towards the Vanoise national park and the Grande Bec mountain.

Les Allues is a four-minute private drive to Olympic Express telecabine, which takes you into the centre of Meribel.

Prices for the whole retreat start from £565 to £2,995 per night or £5240 per week.
