“The architecture evokes a sense of history; the family-run management clearly aims to create a welcoming atmosphere, and on-site dining, enhanced by piano music, presents a unique experience. Although some aspects require updating, the blend of old-world charm and the location in a car-free village near ski slopes provides a memorable, appealing base for mountain adventures. It's a place with character.”
