The favorite mountain spots of the stars Where celebrities spend their winter vacations among snow, luxury and après-ski outfits

Audrey Hepburn sitting on the terrace of a luxury mountain resort, in a very up-to-date chocolate-colored Givenchy catsuit and oversized sunglasses. An image so iconic (from the movie Charade) that it completely catalyzes our attention, making us forget the wonder of the snowy landscape behind her. Have you ever wondered what that place was? Simple, the answer is Gstaad, the popular Swiss ski resort that has always been synonymous with luxury and celebrities. Yes, because, scattered around the world there are corners that seem to attract actors, music stars, business tycoons and royalty more than honey bees. It's impossible not to include Saint Moritz, Chamonix, Courmayeur, Cortina d'Ampezzo and Madonna di Campiglio in this elite list, even if, currently, the coolest are in Colorado. Ever heard of Aspen? Here on the slopes you might run into Kendall Jenner e Hailey Bieber.

Read on if you want to discover the secrets of the favorite mountain spots of the stars.

Aspen

The most important center of Alta Valdigne, Courmayeur is a jewel on Mont Blanc. Dolonne, Entrèves, La Palud, Villair Dessus, Larzey, Entrelevie, La Villette and La Saxe are the centers to get to know and discover, as well as its chalets and snow-covered slopes or the boutiques in Via Roma. The town is ideal for typical winter sports, but also for pampering yourself with good food, chocolate with cream in one of the many café terraces or perhaps an eccentric butter d'Alpe and polenta scrub massage at the spa of the Auberge de la Maison. To enjoy the view, try a ride on the Skyway, the extraordinary rotating cable car.
