Hotel Petrus, Kronplatz, Italy

· in Riscone village · 2 minutes’ walk to the village centre · ski bus stop outside · 10 minutes’ walk to the Kronplatz 1, Kronplatz 2000 and Korer gondolas · ski-in on the Hernegg black run

This spot is a true alpine all-rounder. Tucked in the heart of the Kronplatz ski region, the Aichner family runs the show here at Hotel Petrus – and they know the score when it comes to making the most of the mountains. At an extra cost you can join them on one of their guided cross-country ski tours – but free excursions include snowshoe walking treks, tobogganing luges and before-breakfast powder runs.

The hotel’s wellness focus gives it real ‘winter retreat’ vibes – with no shortage of style. The bright and spacious rooms have a modern yet comforting feel, mixing wood panelling, stone flagging and classy black and white furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer up superb views of the Pustertal Valley’s wild scenery, and when it comes to comfort the Petrus doesn’t cut its corners. Take a breather in the calming space of the Dohòame Spa, and later maybe carry a glass of something chilled to one of the many sofas, hanging chairs or loungers dotted around. Bliss.

The Aichners’ kitchen has your wellbeing at the forefront of its mind, too. Preparing quality South Tyrolean dishes using high-energy, healthy, sustainable and local ingredients, the idea is to leave you feeling restored and mountain-ready after each meal.
