The royals might look serious on official engagements, but one place you can certainly find them looking a lot more laid back is on the ski slopes. Royal fans will know Klosters in Switzerland is a top destination for the family, with both Prince William and Harry regularly hitting the slopes while growing up (we can't get over how stylish a skiier Princess Diana was). And William certainly passed on his love of the sport to Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who have already been on a holiday to the French Alps.

Now, we can't all make jetting off on a glamorous ski trip part of our annual Christmas traditions, but what's life without a spot of aspirational ogling?

To help get you in the Christmassy spirit, we've travelled through the best - and most adorable - photos of the royals skiing. We just wish we were jetting away.

Harry was on far from a holiday when he was skiing on the island of Spitsbergen between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole. He was skiing with the 'Walking With The Wounded' team - and he was just about to head to the North Pole by foot.
