Starting with the positives: it’s a modern hotel (the new wing just opened); the spa/pool area is great, as is the breakfast; if you are a competent skier, it’s a ski in/out property (the hotel is next to a pretty steep red run); there is a good ski room with boot heaters, lockers etc
Less positive:
- the hotel is a mile or to out of the town itself, on top of a very steep and narrow road. This really matters - when it snows, unless you have chains and/or winter tires you won’t be able to get to the hotel.
- there is a shuttle service to/from the town, which generally works well. However, when it snows or the road is icy, the service can be affected by other cars getting stuck and blocking the road.
- if you are driving, there is a 20 Euro daily parking charge in the underground car-park.
- there is also a fee of 12 Euros (per person) to use the pool
- the staff are generally friendly and helpful but the hotel feels understaffed and you are often left at figuring things out for yourself.
Overall, we had a good time but with a few kinks. A special mention to the shuttle driver (Dimitri), who was amazing at making things happen.
