We stayed here 20th-27th January 2024 and booked via Crystal. We have been skiing for about 13 years and can say this is by far the best ski hotel we have ever stayed at. HOTEL & ROOM Before we arrived I emailed to ask if we could have a sunny balcony room which the hotel replied that unfortunately I hadn’t booked one, but when we arrived they had kindly upgraded us to a lovely balcony room, thank you so much! The room was huge, we had so much storage space and it was extremely clean and tidy. A little too warm sometimes but easily fixed by turning down the heating and opening window/balcony door. There was a safe in the wardrobe and hairdryer attached to the wall in the bathroom. We used the mini fridge daily for our own bought food and drink too from the Spar shop which was literally a 2 minute walk from the hotel. The pool was absolutely brilliant and great for your legs after a long day skiing! I especially liked the bathrobes the hotel provided for you to go down to the pool in. And the very comfy seats around the pool/sauna. This hotel is absolutely spotless and staff are always smiling and friendly. They simply cannot do enough for you! FOOD The food here is fabulous! There is so much choice at breakfast, you can either eat from the buffet or order hot waffles/omelette etc from the a la carte all included. I celebrated my birthday whilst at the hotel and we were given a nice glass of Prosecco each for breakfast! I especially liked the daily newsletter you were given with breakfast along with a menu choice to pick your evening meal. The hotel provided afternoon snacks between 2-5pm, so it felt more like a full board hotel and half board. This was often cakes/salads/bread/soups etc. We usually got in around 4/4:30 and it was always so fresh and stocked up. There were a few nice pubs close by, moonlight bar next to the Gondola and Whisky Mule/The Mill next to the hotel, we only ever went for a drink as the food was so good in our hotel. SKIING AND LOCATION All lifts were open 8am - 4pm, but I was told they open slightly later in Feb/March. We have never skied in Austria, we usually go to France but fancied a change and this resort is so much cheaper than France, we found food on the mountain much more affordable and roughly €5 for a pint anywhere we went. But I didn’t realise how much lower down Austria was, so it’s not guaranteed snow, but we were very lucky with the snow when we went. I did notice there was about 80% ski making facilities but never once saw one on. It was also much warmer here, we often never wore thermals!! The SkiWelt itself is huge with over 270km of runs which I’d say mostly aimed at intermediate and advance skiers/boarders. We felt the lifts/gondolas were very modern and fast here, most with heated seats/bubbles and facilities like toilets/cabins were all very clean and modern too. The main Gondola was about a 10 min walk slightly uphill from the hotel, or you could jump on the free bus outside the hotel. We did
