Hotel Hameau du Kashmir, Val Thorens, France

· ski-in, ski-out on a red run · 5 minutes' walk or short shuttle bus ride to the resort centre · 10 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point

Stylish and modern, the Kashmir is one of Val Thoren’s most highly-rated picks. It’s got a pretty distinctive look inside too. The whole place is decorated in the traditional style of the Kashmir region in India, with richly coloured silks and patterned motifs throughout.

As for starting the ski day, just step outside, click in and cruise down the red run – or you can hop on the shuttle to get to the nursery slopes if it’s your first time. And after you’re done, you can look forward to some well-earned pampering in the fabulous spa. Grab a towel and spend your off-slope hours drifting between the saunas and splashing in the pool.

You’re staying room only here, so you’ve got the freedom to eat what and where you want. But to make morning’s more straightforward, you could upgrade to bed & breakfast and fuel up with a continental buffet spread. Then when dinner time rolls around, check out the hotel’s own à la carte restaurant, the Beef & Lobster – it serves up some of the best steaks in the resort.
