Hotel Au Coeur du Village, La Clusaz, France

· 1 minute’s walk to the centre of La Clusaz · 2 minutes’ walk to the Beauregard and Patinoire gondolas · 2 minutes’ walk to the nursery slopes · 2 minutes’ walk to the ski school meeting point at the base of the Beauregard gondola

From location and looks to the food and facilities, the Au Coeur du Village ticks all the boxes. It's just a snowball’s throw from the ski lifts, so you’ll be on the pistes pronto. You're also right in the heart of the traditional Savoyard village, which means you can pop out to explore once you’re done for the day on the mountain.

Inside, the hotel has a classic alpine feel. Each room is decked out with plenty of natural wood, while furry throws add a dash of cosy chic. Downstairs in the lounge, there’s a proper fireplace where you can warm your toes. Or you can recharge those ski muscles in the spa instead. There's a pool for a gentle swim, plus a sauna and steam room to help you really unwind. You can even book a treatment if you fancy a bit of pampering.

Food is a big deal here. You’ll start your day with a hearty buffet breakfast at Le Cœur restaurant and return here later on for your 3-course evening meal. Or for an extra-special evening meal, book yourself a table in the Michelin-starred Cin5. Wherever you eat, you're in for a treat. Local ingredients are the stars of each plate and there are lots of classic French flavours on the cards.
