Carpe Solem Kaprun, Kaprun, Austria

· in the centre of Kaprun · 10 minutes’ walk to the Maiskogel gondola · less than 1 minute’s walk to the ski bus stop · 5 minutes’ walk to the nearest supermarket

The Carpe Solem puts you in the centre of Kaprun, just a short walk from the free ski bus stop that will take you to the lifts pronto. Or, if you fancy a bit of fresh air, it's a 10-minute stroll to the Maiskogel gondola. After a day on the slopes, you can warm up with a drink on the sun terrace while taking in those snowy mountain views.

When it's time to recharge the ski legs, you've got two spa areas to choose from. Families will love the kid-friendly spa with its fun water slides and climbing area – a hit with the little ones. And adults have their own peaceful haven with the rooftop infinity pool that looks out to the Kitzsteinhorn mountain. It's the perfect spot to soak and unwind as the sun sets over the peaks.

The rooms here blend alpine charm with modern style, using natural wood and huge windows that make the most of the alpine scenery. If you go for a hotel room, you'll get to enjoy 3-course meals in the restaurant. Or pick an apartment if you'd rather cook for yourself – each comes with its own sleek kitchen space where you can whip up your own meals when you want.

Please note : The rooftop pool and spa area is adults-only (for those aged 16 and over).
