Parkhotel Sole Paradiso, San Candido, Drei Zinnen, Italy

· 5 minutes' walk to the Baranci lift, ski school meeting point and nursery slopes · ski bus stop outside · 10 minutes' walk to the centre of San Candido

Run by the Ortner family since 1882, the Paradiso hits every note for a classic Tyrolean hotel – friendly service, tasty food and traditional décor. The setting’s pretty special too, so don’t miss taking a walk through the snow-covered meadows and along the river. And when it’s time to hit the hill, it’s only around 6 minutes’ walk to the lift, or you can catch the bus right outside the hotel.

Cheerful and cosy is the vibe here, from the red and yellow outside walls to the engraved wood panelling and parquet floors in the restaurant and bar – where you can feast of 7-course dinners and then curl up on a leather sofa with a glass of local wine. There's a cool, retro theme up in the bedrooms and each one is decked out with a different mix of vintage and up-to-date furniture, so they all have their own unique style.
