Olympic Spa Hotel, Vigo di Fassa, Val di Fassa, Italy

· 18 minutes’ walk to the centre of the resort, the Vigo - Ciampedie chairlift, the nursery slopes and the ski school meeting point · 1 minute’s walk to the ski bus stop

If you’re looking for a ski stay with friendly service and a real wellness focus, the Olympic Spa Hotel in Val di Fassa should be on your radar. The place balances cosy-mountain-lodge vibes with snazzy modern styling, and in the Pellegrin family you have fab hosts who will make you feel right at home.

The biggest highlight here is the Te Jaga spa. Spend downtime in the various saunas, laid out in the relaxation rooms, enjoying cracking Dolomite views from the heated outdoor pool – or treat yourself to a massage if you don’t mind the extra cost. Then it’s back to the sun terrace or lounge-bar to enjoy a low-key evening, enjoying a beer or two as you decide on dinner plans. There’s an optional half board upgrade here, so you can get your gourmet on without heading out into the village if you wish.

In the mornings, the buffet breakfast is not to be missed – there’s fresh fruit and yoghurt, pastries, cooked-to-order pancakes and much more competing for a spot on your plate. And when it gets to slope-time, ready-up in the boot room, walk for a minute to the ski bus stop and before you know it you’ll be doing your first run.
