Alpenhotel Tirolerhof, Neustift, Austria

· in the village centre · 2 minutes' walk to the Elfer lift · 2 minutes' walk to the ski bus stop · 25-30 minutes' bus ride to the main Stubai Glacier ski area

The Alpenhotel Tirolerhof pairs the best bits of traditional Austrian hotels – friendly service, good food and classic décor – with modern touches like a fab spa area. The rooms are decorated in traditional Tyrolean style and there are some fab views of the alps to wake up to.

You can still spot elements of the original 17^thcentury farmhouse, like the wooden ceiling in the restaurant and bar – where you can fill up on a rich breakfast-buffet and later a 4-course evening menu, followed by sitting back with a glass of Austrian wine or schnapps. And you’ll definitely want to chat to the owner, Georg Pfurtscheller, when he’s around. He’s a qualified ski instructor and guide, and he’s always happy to share insider tips on the best slopes.

Fancy a spot of pampering? Head to the spa to try out the different saunas and steam baths, and let your mind wander as you relax in the hot tub.

To top it all off, the hotel’s right in the village centre and just two minutes from the toboggan run at the Elfer lift – you can even borrow toboggans from the hotel for free.
