SkiStar Lodge Trysil, Trysil Trysilfjellet, Norway

· ski-in, ski-out on the 57 green run · 10 minutes’ walk to the centre of Alpe d’Huez · 2 minutes’ walk to the DMC Grandes Rousses gondola · 2 minutes’ walk to the ski school meeting point · 4 minutes’ walk to the ski bus stop - free with valid ski pass

A great location for skiing, SkiStar Lodge Trysil is less a minute’s walk from the lift – convenient indeed. Yes, the F13 drag lift’s right on your doorstep, so you can hop on and ride the 41 green run over to the F2 and be at the top before you can say ‘Høyfjellsenteret’.

This should be a hotel to remember. SkiStar Lodge Trysil is the epitome of modern – looking super smart and ultra-stylish. The beautiful Scandi design really stands out here, which might be a bit of a shift if you’re used to a traditional alpine vibe. Rest assured though, Norway does post-ski cosiness just as well and SkiStar makes for a very comfortable base to come back to each evening.

As well as some handsome rooms, you’ll also have some rather swish facilities waiting for you. If you don't mind paying a bit extra, there are indoor and outdoor pools for swimming, a sauna for steaming and even a fitness room if you’d like to keep up your routine. The bar is another one not to be missed – it’s just right for ending the evening in style. It’s a stunning space, with plenty of comfy chairs to curl up in. The fireplace and naked light fixtures bathe the room in a warm glow that’s just right for cosy ski stories and winding down before bed.
