Tyrol
The slickly contemporary, wood-and-stone-built Gletscherblick bills itself as a B&B but is a cut above with its boutiquey flair and first-rate facilities. The welcoming owners have put a lot of detail into the wood-floored, modern-alpine rooms, with pops of purple and pink, and picture windows framing the view, plus there's an appealing spa for a postski steam.
Homemade yoghurt, eggs, fresh breads and speciality coffees at breakfast set you up well for the day.
