Aparthotel Winslow Infinity is a great shout for families and groups looking for a no-faff ski base. The free ski bus pulls up right outside, and it’s just a five minutes’ ride to the gondola station – where you’ll also find the ski school meeting point and nursery slopes (ideal if you’ve got beginners with you). And when the ski boots come off, the hotel’s spa steps in. There’s an indoor pool for laps or splash time, plus a Finnish sauna and steam room to warm up in. Fancy a massage or hot tub sesh? Get them booked in.

Looks-wise, it’s all classic alpine charm, inside and out. Think wood panelling, stone and cream walls, and an all-round casual, cosy vibe. The apartments are simple and spacious, and each one comes with a kitchenette for snack-stashing or the odd DIY meal. Some even throw in a balcony or terrace for bonus mountain air.

As for food, the buffet restaurant’s where you’ll head for your breakfast and evening meal. Mornings kick off with all the usual hot and cold bits – eggs, bacon, pastries, cereal – and dinner’s a help-yourself spread of local and familiar favourites.
