This apartment sits in a postcard-perfect chalet building with traditional wooden balconies and a stunning mountain backdrop. In the South Tirol town of Gerlos, this quiet spot is home to a handful of restaurants and quiet bars within walking distance. The real pull is the proximity to the slopes. The apartment is next to the ski lift and the closest supermarket is just 10 metres away.

With the apartment, you’ve got a bright, open-plan living room where a wall of glass gives way to mountain views. There’s room for the whole group to dine in the sunny spot by the window as you spot the ski runs and slopes for the day ahead. The sleek white kitchen has everything you need for self-catering and the lounge is a comfy spot for aprés ski reclining. The real bonus is the private sauna and the rooftop terrace where covered outdoor dining with a mountain view is a delightful way to end the day.
