Hotel Montarto, Baqueira Beret, Spain

· 2 minutes’ walk to the centre of the resort · 10 minutes’ walk to the TC Baqueira and TSD Bosque lifts · ski school meeting point and nursery slopes (top of the TC Baqueira lift) · hotel shuttle bus to the slopes

There’s plenty going on at the modern-styled Hotel Montarto in Baqueira, but the ski-with-ease experience is top of the list. You can collect any pre-booked slope essentials in the hotel’s ski shop, get to the lifts pronto on the hotel-run bus service, and when you click out for the day there’s a heated boot rack – so you’ll be run-ready the next morning.

When you’re not weaving between the trees, there’s options-galore for relaxation. You might be tempted by a leisurely length or two in the indoor heated pool, some pool-time of the ball-pocketing variety, or for an extra charge there’s an impressive spa here – with hot tubs and an ice fountain among its top-quality features. And if an evening drink is one of your holiday staples, then the Montarto also spoils you with its three bars, each of which offer their own distinctive vibe.

Food-wise, you’ll have daily options to choose from with your half board meal. Fancy even more variety? You can pay extra to dine at the Viña Pomal Wine Bar, which serves tapas and other Spanish classics.
