Seehotel Sissi, Zell Am See, Austria

· 6 minutes' walk to the resort centre · 10 minutes' walk to the City Xpress gondola · 2 minutes' walk to the ski bus stop · 1 minute's walk to the lake

Traditional meets modern at the Seehotel Sissi, a lakeside stay in Zell am See. Wooden balconies and colourful shutters give the outside those classic alpine feels. Step inside though, and things have been given a sleek new look, with splashes of green and artwork of forests and flowers.

Location-wise, it’s metres from the shoreline, so you’ll be stepping out to views of snowy peaks reflected in the water each morning. And when it’s time to get skiing, simply walk around 10 minutes to the City Xpress gondola, which will take you up to the heart of the ski area.

In terms of extras, it’s a case of keeping things simple, with a sauna and a terrace the places to relax at the end of the day. And on the food front, you’ll get a hot and cold breakfast buffet spread to set you up for the slopes. Come evening, you’ve got Zell’s many excellent restaurants at your fingertips.
