Top location – it’s ski-in and only a minute's walk to the nearest lift.

Enjoy some post-piste pampering in the sauna and Turkish bath.

Go for a room with a balcony for snowy morning views.

The Hotel Rivé is onto a winner when it comes to location. Just a minute’s stroll to the nearest ski lifts, you can be heading up into the mountains in no time at all each morning – and ski right back to the hotel at the end of the day.

Once you’ve finished slope swooshing, swing by the hotel's spa area. With a pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub, it’s a fab spot to sink into relaxation mode. Then it might be down to the hotel's bar for a bevvy and a chinwag in the comfy lounge area before dinner. You’ll have some variety throughout the week when it comes to what’s on the menu, though you may fancy heading out for a night or two to check out what else Bardonecchia’s restaurants are serving up.

The rooms here are on the more no-frills side, with a functional feel to them more than anything. Go for one with a balcony if you fancy waking up to views of the surrounding mountains and woodland each morning.
