Our favourite rooms
All Snowpine rooms are as comfortable as can be, but our favourites are those with their own balcony spaces: we could never tire of sitting out there sipping coffee with those incredible views. The pinnacle, perhaps, is the Snowpine Suite, with plenty of space, a cute kitchenette and a dreamy tub to sink into after the ski suit comes off.
Poolside
The outdoor heated pool (complete with lift for no-step access) is open from 10am to 9pm and suitable for supervised little Smiths, who can wade in at the shallow end. There are also two open-air hot tubs here, loungers and a wood-burning fire, open all year and overlooked by majestic mountain peaks.
Spa
The Stillwell Spa is a welcoming retreat with treatment rooms for massages, resurfacing facials, frangipani salt glow body treatments, manicures, and more. There’s also a sauna, steam room, heated pool, and the Grotto, a dimly-lit, granite-clad space with an indoor Jacuzzi.

Sustainability efforts
Planet-kind cleaning products are used to whip your room and communal areas into sparkling shape ready for your arrival. Motion-sensor LED lights are installed in guest rooms, the health club and yoga studio to reduce energy waste, and room temperatures are controlled from the front desk, meaning that empty rooms aren’t being unnecessarily heated or cooled. Restaurant meals are crafted from fresh ingredients, carefully sourced from local suppliers and farmers, and the chefs have increased their focus on plant-based menu options. The kitchen also uses rigorous menu planning to reduce food waste.
