The classy Aktivhotel Schweizerhof sits in an elevated position overlooking Kitzbühel, directly opposite the Hahnenkamm gondola and a short stroll away from the quaint town centre. The hotel has an excellent reputation for cuisine as well as a modern spa area. The hotel has a slick and stylish design throughout including in the restaurant, comfortable lobby and the inviting bar. Be sure to explore the extensive wine list.

The Hotel Del Clos is a fantastic example of what a ski hotel should be. The wooden clad and carved walls invite you in and warm you up straight away. There's a tremendous feeling of space as the wide corridors guide you to the many chill-out areas. The bar and lounge area offer plenty of options to relax and refuel. They also become a real focal point during après-ski - as does the huge sun-terrace. It's worth grabbing your drink and a seat to watch the sunset turn the slopes of El Tarter a delicious orange. Families will love the kids' clubs which offer childcare for children from 4 months right up to pre-teen 12-year-olds. Our experienced nannies make sure they're well looked after with plenty to keep them happy and stimulated. It's only 350m to the lifts, and you have a choice of where to leave your skis or boards at night. There's plenty of space at the hotel in the heated kit storage room (including boot warmers for a toasty start to your day), or there are storage lockers in Nordic Ski Hire (by the lifts) available for a weekly charge.

Chalet Motxo is constructed from local stone and wood which gives it a traditional mountain chalet feel, as does the grandfather clock and comfy leather sofas in the small lounge area. It's a spacious chalet too, with oodles of natural light throughout, high ceilings with chunky wooden beams and nicely sized bedrooms, all with plenty of storage. The property provides bicycle parking, paid on-site private parking, and a washing machine. Additional amenities include a dishwasher, microwave, and a dining area with a table and chairs.

The Casale is incredibly popular with guests - a nice mix of a traditional chalet with the size and facilities (i.e. a bar) of a small hotel. This creates a nice buzz around the chalet at après-ski, when the bar is open and the drinks are flowing. The Casale has been lovingly converted from an old barn. Many of the original beams have been kept which gives a wonderful warm feel to the place. The large dining room is equally charming, with its long tables for chalet-style meals and more wooden rafters adding to the warming feel. Each of the bedrooms is a really good size, with plenty of light and space to make you feel right at home. They all have an ensuite with shower, WC and a small selection of complimentary toiletries in case you forget your own. This really is an ideal choice for couples or groups of friends looking for a home-from-home on their ski holiday.

Hotel La Tovière style and luxury are combined with our professional ski guiding service and exceptional hospitality to ensure a truly memorable ski holiday. La Tovière is a wonderful example of craftsmanship and design, created with natural textures of aged wood and local stone. With a backdrop of snowy trees and towering rock faces, the hotel seamlessly complements its surroundings right opposite the slopes of La Daille. The funicular and La Daille gondola are just across the road from the hotel for high-speed access into the heart of the world-class Val d’Isère-Tignes ski area.

This is a small, chalet-style gem of a hotel on the outskirts of Sauze d'Oulx. Its location could not be better for keen skiers and snowboarders - with the Jouvenceaux Sportinia lift just 120m away. The more confident, red-run skier or boarder can even ski back down to the lift when the snow conditions are right. The intimate bar and snug lounge with their open fire creates a lovely, typically Italian laid-back atmosphere. The dining area is also rustically styled, with original stone walls and wooden ceilings, and plenty of wooden furnishings create an authentic mountain feel. Being on the outskirts of Sauze also makes for spectacular views across the valley - particularly from the large sun terrace. Sauze's varied nightlife is about 1km up the hill, and ski buses run every 30 minutes or so from a stop just a short walk away. There's also a hotel shuttle bus that runs regularly to the resort centre between 5 pm and 10 pm daily. Alternatively, the small village of Jouvenceaux has a few restaurants and bars only a few minutes away.
