If you want to really immerse yourself in an Austrian snowsports holiday, it doesn’t get much better than staying in a cosy apartment right on the slopes of Gargellen. Just 10 metres from your nearest piste, this resort allows you to carve down the mountain and all the way home. With striking views of snowy scenery and ski runs, this apartment makes for the perfect vantage point. Start the day by planning your route from the private balcony, with a mug of hot chocolate in hand. Breathe in the fresh, mountain air before a hearty breakfast at the timber dining bench, then wrap up and take to the slopes. When you return, you’ll feel immediately warmed by the rustic, wooden elements of the interiors – we love the use of rich, timber planks in the bedroom and bathroom. Sheep skulls and artworks featuring cows remind you of the rural surroundings, but modern, black metal furniture brings the home up-to-date with an industrial edge. And if you’re in need of more urban delights, the town centre of Gargellen is under a kilometre away.
