alpenhotel Kaiserfels

Went for a ski holiday. Really nice modern hotel, fairly quiet which was perfect for us as a family. The family rooms are crowded with a couch bed, a foldable bed and the double bed. For a full week stay having connecting rooms would be preferable. The double bed in the new part of the hotel were new and really comfortable - and the kids beds were acceptable, but unfit for adult weights. Everywhere is clean and neat in the hotel, while maintaining a chill atmosphere, where kids are welcome too. The facilities check all the boxes, although some are more basic than others: Fitness Pool (for kids all day) Saunas (for families one hour a day) Bar/lounge Ski-garage with dryers The restaurant was top notch! Really nice buffets and varied too! Quality was good and gluten-free bread and pastas were prepared upon request. Most of the staff were extremely service minded. The surroundings include a ski equipment store, a ski rental, ski school/instructors, a cafe and it’s all just a few hundred meters from the lift. All lifts are slow so you end up spending much time in them, especially the top lifts. It’s a shame there’s no long green for beginners technique training, but on a positive note the slopes and lift system around the mountain side is well connected so even though it’s a small place, there’s adventures to be had. The temperatures were horrible while we were there. 10-14 degrees most days and no new show for over a week. They struggled every night - making new snow when possible and reparations with what little they had. In all fairness we were impressed, even though the circumstances were bad. We had two full good days, and good mornings the rest of the week, before the snow got too heavy and bulky to ski for us intermediates.
