One resort has come top in two studies in to the most expensive chalets and hotels in ski resorts worldwide.
Les Suites de la Pointière came top in a list of the 10 most expensive ski hotels published by American website www.luxury-hotels.com at an average price of $1958 (US) (about £1245)per night in January, while a chalet called Ormello, peaked at €200,000 Euros (a little over £168,000) a week according to the Oxford Skiing Company's annual report on what they believe are the best (not always the most expensive) luxury chalets at www.luxurychaletcollection.com

Two other Courchevel properties made the www.luxury-hotels.com top 10 but are around half the price of Les Suites de la Pointière. Le Mélézin was an average of $1001 per night for a double room, La Sivoliere $951 per night.
Lech in Austria's Arlberg had three hotels in the top seven of the 10, including second placed Aurelio, $1423, fourth placed Almhof Schneider, $1185 and the seventh placed Gasthof Post, $1012.
Despite its reputation and the strength of the Swiss franc only two of St Moritz's five five star hotel were in the top ten. In this place was the Carlton Hotel at $1256 and in fifth the Suvretta House $1121.
The other two hotels were in the USA. The St. Regis at Deer Valley in Utah in sixth at $1037 and The Little Nell in Aspen, Colorado in eight at $1002
