We’re in the thick of ski season: The Olympics are imminent, warm wool knitwear is the uniform du jour, and the current temperature is the kind of cold that’s completely inexcusable unless accompanied by plates of melty raclette at après-ski. This is your sign to book a last-minute winter getaway. And while there are tons of great ski resorts you could jet off to, nothing quite beats an Alpine retreat—whether freeskiing in Zermatt or trialing bunny slopes in Megève, you have options. The best Airbnbs in the Alps, from Austria to France to Italy, are the perfect place to stay if you need more flexibility and space than a hotel.

It’s a vast region—the Dolomites alone, scene of the 2026 Winter Olympics, are an 18-peak range—so there’s a lot to choose from. Go for stately chalet elegance with a multi-bedroom option if you’re traveling with lots of friends and family; book something closer to a cozy cabin if you prefer a low-key holiday. These 12 options span the French, Swiss, Austrian, and Italian Alps, as well as a range of prices and styles. Your next decision? Which Fair Isle sweater will make it into your carry-on.
Chasa Noth
Not all alpine retreats are stuffy, rustic cabins; some are luxurious, light-filled homes that expertly blend old and new. This spot is a perfect example. The 18th-century farmhouse right in the historic center square of Scuol was recently restored, keeping its old-world charms (that wood paneling!) and making some necessary updates. Sleek chrome furniture, a chef-grade kitchen, and whitewashed walls bring light in.

Cozy Chalet
There’s no television in this mountainside cabin; all the better to truly unwind with. Instead, occupy yourself with a forest hike or a day on the slopes (the Airbnb is in the La Tzoumaz resort, by Verbier in the Swiss Alps). Wind down by candlelight, whether that’s with a warm meal served family-style at the dining table overlooking the tall trees or a game of Hearts by the fire.

Maria 1936
It’s pretty hard to beat these views. This restored barn looks out onto Mount Pelmo in the Dolomites, with a key highlight being the covered balcony; you’ll want to take every meal there to soak in the mountain views. It can fit up to seven guests—great for a large family or group—and you’ll each have plenty of space to stretch out in.

Four bedrooms offers plenty of space for a big friend trip.

La Baita nel Bosco
This rustic mountain hut located in a secluded part of the Italian alps is actually a working farm and apiary: Those with a fear of bees, plan accordingly. A breakfast basket is provided each morning, with the freshest of ingredients you can enjoy outdoors or in the open-air kitchen in the warmer months, or by the fire in the winter. You’ll need a car to access the property—it is properly remote—but its isolation is part of the charm.

You’re within walking distance to ski lifts and the ski school, and will be staying in one of the six apartments that make up the larger Chalet Griffin—so you have access to communal amenities, but with more privacy than a hotel. The space itself was recently renovated in 2022, and includes luxe amenities like a functioning fireplace and chef-grade kitchen.

Ca’ Bianca delle Dolomiti
This apartment in the Dolomites is deceptively spacious: It sleeps up to six, with soaring A-frame ceilings giving the illusion of even more space. The theme appears to be, simply, wood. From the exposed beams to the built-in furniture to the floor-to-ceiling cupboards, the whole space is designed with rustic cabins on the brain.
