Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

From Austria to America, there's fine dining and fine skiing to be had in the world's top winter sports destinations.

There's modern haute cuisine at chef René Meilleur's restaurant with rooms La Bouitte, Hameau de Saint Marcel, Saint Martin de Belleville, France (00 33 4 79 08 96 77; la-bouitte .com), where pigeon is served with a thin pear tart.

The menu at two Michelin-starred Le Chabichou, Rue des Chenus 73121, Courchevel (00 33 4 79 08 00 55; chabichou- courchevel.com), is created using local savoyard ingredients including a fondue of beaufort and tomme de Savoie cheeses.

The unassumingly rustic cabin façade of the Hospiz Alm, A-6580 St Christoph, Arlberg, Austria (00 43 5446 3625; hospizalm.at), hides a treasure trove of 65,000 bottles of top-quality Bordeaux wine. A Château Montrose is just the thing to sip with your peasant-style Tyrolean duck.

Enjoy the view of Aspen Mountain from your patio table at Montagna, The Little Nell, 675 East Durant Avenue, Aspen, Colorado (00 1 970 920 4600; littlenell .com), as you tuck into roasted rack of local lamb served with a parmigiano gratin.

This is where award-winning chef Norbert Niederkofler pairs braised veal shank with fried lobster served in a light garlic cream.
