Hotel Christine, Val di Fassa

If you’re looking for an authentic mountain stay, then the Christine will be right up your piste. It’s been run by the same family for generations, and from check-in to mealtimes, the service is second to none. Looks-wise, it’s classic alpine, with its timber cladding and shuttered windows.

You’re in Campitello, one of the main towns that makes up Val di Fassa, which means you’ve got plenty of bars and shops on hand. And there’s a ski bus stop a matter of metres away, so getting around the rest of the resort is nice and simple too – just grab a ticket from the hotel reception.

Once you’re done skiing for the day, you can give your legs some well-earned downtime in the hotel’s sauna. Afterwards, set yourself up for dinner in true Italian style with an aperitivo and some nibbles in the bar, where there’s often live music to soundtrack your drinks. And as for the food, it’s all about simple, tasty dishes that’ll leave you feeling full – think stews with polenta and creamy risottos.
