Hotel Cristina is a really handy base in Pas de la Casa if you want to keep the ski side of the trip simple. It sits just 50 metres from Grandvalira, so getting onto the mountain is quick and easy, while the bars, shops and restaurants of the resort are all close by. It has a warm, straightforward feel that works well for a ski holiday, with a cosy lounge bar and games room giving it a sociable atmosphere once the day on the slopes is done.

The rooms are comfortable and practical, with Double Rooms, Family Rooms and larger triple-style room options available. Standard doubles sleep two, while the larger room categories go up to three or four guests, so it works well for couples, friends and families. Across the rooms, you have the useful ski-holiday basics covered with heating, free WiFi, international TV channels, safe, hairdryer and private bathroom.

Food is kept easy too, with breakfast and dinner served buffet style, so it is a straightforward setup for guests who want to focus on skiing and know meals are sorted back at the hotel. Ski storage is included as well, which is always a useful extra in a resort like Pas de la Casa.

Why guests like it:
