Le Chalet Blanc Hôtel & Spa, Montgenevre, France

· 5 minutes’ walk to the resort centre · next to the TK Obélisque lift · 2 minutes’ walk to the nursery slopes and ski meeting point · 1 minute walk to the ski bus stop

Alpine charm meets modern facilities at this up-to-date pick near the centre of Montgenèvre. There’s a lift outside and the ski school meeting point is only moments away, so it’s definitely one to add to your shortlist if being close to the slopes is a top priority.

With its balconies and weathered timber cladding, the hotel itself is just what you’d picture when you imagine a ski resort stay. Step inside, and the theme continues with plenty of pine wood panelling and textured stone giving it that unmistakeable mountain feel – there’s even a gondola-style seat in the reception.

When you’re done for the day, swap your ski gear for a swimsuit and treat yourself to some spa time. Drift between the sauna and steam room or slip into the hot tub and relax as the bubbles massage those leg muscles. Or if an après drink is part of your post-piste ritual, swing by the bar to grab your favourite tipple before swapping ski stories by the fire. You’ll find a pool and table football downstairs too – always a crowd-pleaser if you’re staying with younger ones or teens.

Once you’re feeling relaxed and refreshed, it’s time to think about dinner – and there’s lots to get excited about here. Sit down to savour three courses of delicious regional fare, from fondue to fresh, fruit-filled tarts. And of course this is France, so there’s lots of excellent local wine to choose from too.
