We are vegetarians and food can be an issue, the staff took great care in curating a vegetarian feast and all our dietary restrictions were accommodated. Massive thanks to the entire F&B team, Ovo for meeting every request, Alexandra for coordinating our reservations, Alex, Persian and Omer for brilliant recommendations. Sara at reception and the entire team. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to seeing you all soon.

Great ski hotel
Very good stay right on the ski slopes, great wellness facilities after days of skiing. Outstanding breakfast. Very professional and helpful staff. Probably better visited outside school holidays as it gets very busy and slopes are crowded.
