The Planibel is a world of its own, with everything from shops and entertainment to a huge indoor pool, plus our own childcare. As for the skiing, it’s right at your feet – you can ski to and from the door, and the main gondola is just metres away.

It’s got modern looks, with lots of light wood and splashes of pale green and blue. Big windows let in the light, not to mention snowy views to get you excited for your day in the mountains. Then when you get back from the slopes, the hotel is your oyster. Start things off with a swim and sauna, then pop into the hotel bar for an après drink. And if you’re after a souvenir or some sports gear, there's a line-up of shops you can visit without leaving the complex.

Hungry? You’ll be well taken care of here. On top of your buffet breakfasts and evening meals, there’s a range of restaurants and cafés to explore, as well as a mini-market where you can grab drinks and snacks.
