Marmot Lodge, Jasper, Canada

· 15 minutes' walk to the resort centre · 30 minutes' bus ride to the lifts · bus stop outside · 4 minutes' walk to the nearest supermarket · 20 minutes' bus ride to the ski school meeting point

If you're looking for a simple stay in Jasper, the Marmot Lodge is just the ticket. It's on the edge of town, but since it's right beside the main street, it's easy to hop on the bus from the stop outside and set off for the slopes.

The building has a retro look, and each apartment has its own front door so you don't need to file through reception to get back to your space. And you've got some extra facilities here too. You can take a post-piste dip in the heated indoor pool, or warm yourself all the way through in the sauna. If you're a hot tub fan, you can choose between two – one inside by the pool and the other outside so you can look out at the snowy scenery while you soak.

When the evening rolls around, pop into Evil Dave's Grill next door, a family-run restaurant serving local dishes with an impressive cocktail list. Or if you fancy a change, you can also dine at one of the nearby sister hotels – the Crimson Lodge or the Lobstick Lodge. Plus, there's also a coffee house here, perfect for your morning caffeine fix or a post-ski hot choc.
