Hotel Christoph, Neustift, Austria

· ski bus stop outside · 3 minutes' bus ride to the resort centre · 5 minutes' bus ride to the Bergbahnen cable car and 11er chairlift · 20 minutes' bus ride to the glacier

The Hotel Christoph sits a little way outside of town, in a peaceful spot with front-row views of the Stubai valley. Family run for three generations, the staff’s warm Austrian hospitality has guests coming back year after year. And it’s a well-linked spot for the slopes too – the free ski bus stops metres from the front door. You'll be at the closest lifts in 5 minutes, or stay on for a scenic ride up to the glacier for the snowiest start to your ski day.

There’s nothing like a session in the sauna after a day on the slopes, so make sure to pop into the hotel’s wellness area when you’re back. Or slide into a booth in the cosy bar and après-ski like the Austrians with a frothy beer in hand.

Every morning you’ll get a buffet breakfast, with all the usual Continental picks like pastries, cold cut meats and cheese, as well as eggs and toast. Going all in for half board is a popular choice here – the family recipes are real crowd-pleasers, and are made with lots of fresh, local ingredients. And on Wednesdays when the cooks have a day off, you can head into Neustift and explore both the restaurants and the traditional town.
