Sporthotel Berger, Saalbach, Austria

· central location · 2 minutes' walk to the slopes and Schattberg gondola

Bang in the centre of Saalbach, opposite the village church, is the Sporthotel Berger. There’s a really traditional feel from top to bottom, but the owners have added their own distinctive twist to the décor too. Art Deco prints in the rooms and zebra print fabrics add a jazzy touch in the lounge bar. And then there are the staff, who go the extra mile to make you feel at home, from remembering your favourite tipple at the bar to sharing resort tips.

As for hitting the slopes, it’s a short stroll to the Schattberg gondola to get up the mountain. And when it’s time to get your après on, swing by the cosy lounge bar to sip a drink and swap ski stories. Then, later on, join the fun at the nightclub downstairs – don’t miss the weekly Elvis Presley cabaret act. Prefer something more peaceful? Give your ski legs some post-piste pampering in the wellness and enjoy a well-earned session in the sauna.

The food here is just what you need when you’re skiing all day long. There’s a big buffet spread to kick things off, with lots of hot options like sausage, bacon and eggs cooked to order. Then in the evenings, it’s more hearty fare – think bowls of stew, schnitzels and platters of roast pork.
