· ski-in, ski-out via a flight of stairs · 1 minute's walk to the chairlift · 2 minutes' walk to the gondola · 10 minutes' walk to the resort centre · 1 minute's walk to the free shuttle bus stop · 10 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point

The Grand Paradiso’s a stand-out pick in Passo Tonale, with a high-quality feel from top to bottom. To hit the slopes, simply climb the steps behind the hotel, click into your skis and set off. Or, if you’re still learning, it’s an easy 10-minute walk to the ski school.

The design hits the sweet spot between sleek and snug. There's a mix of rooms, some with a modern look, decked out in creams and whites, and others that have a more traditional feel. And you can take your pick from loads of different room types, from simple singles and twins all the way up to suites with multiple bedrooms and balconies.

As for meals, there’s big buffets served up every morning and evening, and as an extra perk, you’ll get free drinks included with dinner too. Then to mix things up a bit, you can eat in the à la carte Pasta & Pizza restaurant one night.

To up the holiday mood a notch, slip off to the spa – you can pay around €50 per person to use it for the whole week. And, if you're holidaying as a family, make the most of our childcare clubs, where kids can have fun with games in the snow, crafts and soft play.
