Résidence L’Aigle Bleu, Briançon, Serre Chevalier, France

· 1 minute's walk to the Prorel gondola · ski school meeting point at the top of the Prorel gondola · next to the ski bus stop · close to shops, bars, cafés and restaurants · 6 minutes' walk to the supermarket · 7 minutes' walk to the centre of the resort · 8-minute bus ride or 25 minutes' walk to the old town of Briançon

These self-catered apartments are in an ideal spot – you’re steps away from the Prorel gondola, so getting first lifts is a cinch, plus there’s lots of nearby shops, cafes and restaurants to explore too. When you’re not out and about, you can wander down to the wellness area to bring some bliss to your après hours, or pop into the lounge for a round or two of pool.

The apartments themselves fit the bill for a simple stay, with nods to alpine style in the wood-panelling and snowy art on the walls. You’ll have a private balcony or terrace too, so you can step out and fill your lungs with that fresh mountain air. And as for meals, you’re all set to cook something up in your kitchenette, and for an easy-peasy start to the day you can pay a little extra for breakfasts delivered to your door.

If you fancy digging into Serre Chevalier's history, it's all around you in Briançon. The old city walls have the UNESCO World Heritage stamp of approval, and you can take it all in on a winter wander through town.
