Hotel Planibel (TH La Thuile), La Thuile, Italy

· ski-in, ski-out · next to Les Suches gondola and Bosco Express chairlift · 2 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point

The Planibel is a world of its own, with everything from shops and entertainment to a huge indoor pool. The skiing is right at your feet – you can ski to and from the door, and the main gondola is just metres away. And it's the perfect spot for families bringing little ones, with our fantastic Childcare based here for all the fun, games and laughter to make your trip that extra bit spesh.

On the looks front, modern and classic styles are in the mix. Stylish rooms go for lots of light wood, sleek furnishings and splashes of pale green and blue, a contrast to the more traditional decor you'll find in the homely lounge and restaurant areas. Big windows let in the light, not to mention snowy views to get you excited for your day in the mountains.

After the final run of each ski day, the hotel's your oyster. Start things off with a swim and sauna, then pop into the mahogany-furnished hotel bar for an après glass of fizz or vino. Or if you’re after a souvenir or some sports gear, there's a line-up of shops you can visit without leaving the complex. Hungry? You’ll be well taken care of here. On top of your buffet breakfasts and evening meals, there’s a bevy of restaurants and cafés to explore – including a spot that specialises in raclettes, for all that gooey goodness – as well as a mini-market where you can top up on drinks and slope snacks.
