Résidence Les Épinettes, Vaujany, France

· 2 minutes' walk to Vaujany's centre · 2 minutes' walk to the Arpette cable car · ski school meeting point and nursery slopes at the top of the Arpette cable car · 12 minutes' walk across the resort and up some sets of stairs to the nearest supermarket

If you like the independence of a self-catering stay but fancy some extra facilities, Résidence les Épinettes is right on the money. Outside, the chalet-style building's got a traditional stone and wood look, and inside things are modern and bright. Go for a snug studio fit for two, or get the whole gang together in a roomy apartment. Either way, you’ll have your own balcony or terrace, plus a good-sized kitchenette perfect for throwing some easy meals together whenever you get peckish.

You’ll be in a pretty great spot too – it’s only a couple of minutes’ stroll to the lifts, so getting up on the mountain each morning's a breeze, and you can easily wander into Vaujany’s centre if you feel like switching it up and eating out in the evening. The best part? When you’re not on the slopes, there’s a heated indoor pool you can do some leisurely laps in, as well as a sauna, steam room and a small fitness room if you want to keep on top of your exercise schedule while you’re away.
