Lizard Creek Lodge, Fernie, Canada

· ski-in, ski-out on a green run · steps away from the Elk chairlift · 1 minute's walk to the resort centre · 2 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point

The Lizard Creek Lodge is in an ideal ski-in, ski-out spot – with green runs right on your doorstep, you can practise your skills or glide along to the lifts to explore the rest of the mountain. The Lodge is in the middle of frozen pine trees and snowy peaks, so you get some cracking views whichever way you look. And with the resort centre just a minute’s walk away, you’re at the heart of the action.

For some R&R after a busy day on the slopes, sit back by the fireplace and unwind in the comfort of your own room. There’s also a full kitchen ready for you to make your favourite meals, but if you fancy a break from cooking, head to the Cirque restaurant. A combo of fine dining and comfort food? Yes please.

There’s more to do after you’ve set down your skis, like chilling out at Fernie’s coolest après experience, the Ice Bar, available to book at the Lodge's reception. Wrap up and sample one of the twenty vodkas available from around the world. And for something a bit more zen, take a dip in the Lodge’s outdoor pool or hot tubs and make the most of the mountain setting.
