Résidence Parc aux Étoiles, Puy-Saint-Vincent, France

· ski-in, ski-out on a blue or red run · 5 minutes’ walk to the resort centre (this walk is steep) · 3 minutes’ walk to the Bergerie lift · 1 minute’s walk to the ski school meeting point · 2 minutes’ walk to the nursery slopes · 1 minute’s walk to the ski bus stop · 3 minutes’ walk to the nearest supermarket

For a simple self-catering stay with the slopes close at hand, Résidence Parc aux Étoiles fits the bill. You can ski straight to and from the residence on a blue run, and the Bergerie lift is around a 3-minute walk away. The resort centre is about 5 minutes away on foot too, so it’s easy to get out and explore.

The apartments come with everything you need to rustle up meals, including an oven, plus a dishwasher for easy-peasy tidy-ups. Just so you know, there isn’t any WiFi at the residence – so settle in and enjoy a proper digital detox in the snow.

When you’re back from the slopes, head to the lounge and reception area or make the most of the bar and terrace. The heated outdoor pool is open from 6 February to 6 March, so you can enjoy spring skiing and al fresco soaks. There’s also a sauna you can book for an extra charge. Ski storage is sorted as well, with a ski room and free lockers.
