Step outside, and it’s just a short slide to the nearest lift – and at the end of the day, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy sunset views over forests and the frozen lake in the valley below.

Once you’ve stashed the snow gear, it’s time to unwind. Start things off in true Scandi style with a spell in the sauna, then take a dip in the pool, which has floor-to-ceiling windows at one end to make the most of the snowy scenery. And if you’re staying with the family, check out the playroom for kid-friendly fun with board games and table football.

The buildings have that classic Nordic look, with larch wood cladding and whitewashed window frames on the outside. Each apartment has a sleek, black-and-white colour scheme throughout, and lots have a private sauna to make your stay extra special.

Fully kitted kitchenettes cover all the bases when it comes to cooking. And you can also pay a little extra when you get here to have your shopping delivered – self-catering doesn’t get simpler than that.
