Sport & Familienhotel Bärenwirt

Recently visited this family hotel this winter to ski the famous mountains in Schladming. Had no idea what to expect upon arrival but was pleasantly surprised. When we arrived at night we were greeted by the friendly staff and helped with luggage and ski bags. They have a special room to accommodate ski equipment and a shoe/boot room with heated boot racks to warm your boots and mittens at night after skiing and have them dry and toasty for the morning! Amazing!! The rooms are spectacular. Cute and clean with typical hotel amenities, but they also have a heated towel rack to hang your towels and have them warm for every time you get out of the shower, spectacular! The food was wonderful, breakfast buffet had many options for vegetarians and non as well as the dinner menu. Fruit and vegetables were super fresh and amazing to the taste. Had everything you could possibly think of and if they didn’t, you could ask for it. I love how the hotel was family run. The husband is the cook and spends a tremendous amount of time preparing for the next meal as soon as the first ends, and is hands down an amazing chef! Ask for something special and he can accommodate. The dining was simply spectacular. All staff were extremely friendly and accommodating to whatever you ask. They even have a wonderful and authentic sauna experience with 3 different saunas and relaxation rooms and cooling tubs etc. Bridget - the owner and wife was a wonderful woman and even did some laundry for us during our stay. Everything we experienced here was simply spectacular. So close to the mountains(5 min drive to Hauser) and so relaxing to return after a long day or skiing. Highly recommend for any type of traveler, families or not. This local hotel is amazing for a true authentic experience that the large franchise hotels simply cannot offer nor compete against.
