Lifts, the ski school meeting point and bars in the resort centre – it’s all on your doorstep at the Hotel Kompas. It isn’t just the location that’s on point either. From a cocktail bar to the wellness area with a pool, sauna and steam room, your post-piste hours are sorted here as well. And there’s also a separate kids’ pool and playroom, so trips with little ones are taken care of too.

The hotel itself is set in spacious grounds, with the peaks of Julian Alps as a backdrop. Head inside and there’s a no-fuss feel to the looks, with wood panelling and neutral colours. Upstairs, the bedrooms are decorated with action shots of skiers and boarders to get you excited for the slopes – and you can go for one with a balcony to get a view of the real thing.

As for food, you’ve got a hot and cold breakfast spread to set you up each morning. Then in the evening, it’s all about traditional Slovenian dishes at the 4-course evening meals. Everything’s served buffet-style, so you can pick and choose to find your favourites. And to make your meal even better, it’s well worth treating yourself to something local from the top-notch wine list.
