Hotel Laghetto, Prato Nevoso, Italy

· ski-in, ski-out on the Prel blue run · next to the Blu chairlift and nursery slopes · 4 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point · 2 minutes' walk to the ski bus stop · 8 minutes' walk to the resort centre

At the foot of the Prel blue piste, the Hotel Laghetto is a top pick for making the most of your slope time. Step outside, click in and slide over to the Blu chairlift to get your ski day started. And once you’ve swooshed back, you can sit out on the sun terrace, drink in hand, and take in those mountain views.

Inside the hotel, the rooms have a modern look – brightened with geometric patterns and colourful artwork on the walls. Some of the double rooms have balconies, so you can splash out a little if that’s on your wish list. And there are larger family rooms on the top floor, which have a cosy feel thanks to the exposed wooden beams running across the ceiling.

Your half-board stay means mealtimes are sorted. In the mornings, there’s a buffet spread where you'll find everything from freshly baked brioches to sausages and bacon, as well as pressed orange juice or coffee to fill your cup. And in the evenings, you’ll have four courses with highlights like fresh pasta and homemade pastries from the hotel’s own shop.

When you arrive in the resort, the coach isn’t able to take you right up to the entrance of the Hotel Laghetto, so you’ll be dropped off close by. From there, a smaller vehicle will pick you up and take you the rest of the way.
