Residence I Portici, Prato Nevoso, Italy

· in the resort centre · less than a minute's walk down the road, then you can ski onto the nursery slopes and to the ski school meeting point · 2 minutes' walk and ski to the magic carpet and Blu chairlift · 1 minute's walk to the nearest supermarket

These self-catered apartments are ideal for a central stay close to the piste. Each has its own character – some with bright paintwork and art dotted about, and others have wooden panelling for an extra alpine touch. You can choose a studio with a balcony for those mountain views, or go for a 1-bedroom apartment if you’re after a little more space.

To kick off your ski day, it’s a short walk along the road, then you’ll click in and swoosh down onto the nursery slopes. You’ll see the Arlecchino chairlift right in front of you, or you can ski across a little more to the Blu chairlift and head up to the peaks.

As for meals, you can load up on your fave ingredients and get cooking in your kitchenette. There’s a bakery just outside too – so you can tuck into freshly made focaccia or pastries in the morning. And if you fancy trying some local specialities, lots of the nearby restaurants serve Fassona beef, known for it's leanness and sweet flavour, and keep their cellars stocked with regional wines.
