The Europa’s got a prime spot in Cervinia, just metres from the main Cretaz lift. As for the hotel itself, there’s a fresh, modern feel throughout, from the sleek bar to the brightly painted bedrooms.

In the mornings, fuel up on pastries and cereal from the continental buffet, before swinging by the boot room to grab your gear – toasty warm thanks to the heated racks. Then after your session on the slopes, head back to relax and recharge. Find your favourite tipple from the varied cocktail menu, or, if you prefer spas over bars, grab a towel and take a dip in the indoor pool instead.

You’ll be staying bed and breakfast, so when dinnertime rolls around you’re free to eat what and where you want. With Cervinia’s main street on your doorstep, there’s plenty to tempt you, so whether you fancy fine dining or a simple pizza, you should find somewhere to fit your mood.
