Hotel Garni Ragaz

This small hotel sits conveniently next to the Uga lift - getting to the slopes is super-easy. It is family owned - the family lives on site and more than likely the owner will greet you at the front desk. Staff/owners are extremely pleasant and accommodating; breakfast is excellent, and there is an honor bar with snacks/drinks in the common area on each floor. Damuls itself is a hidden gem of a ski area - we were tipped off to it by a German friend who recommended it. We have skied all over Europe and the US, and had one of our best ski days ever under sunny skies and super snow conditions in Damuls. The owners were overly self-critical of their English skills; we gathered that they don't have all that many Anglo- or American guests, but their English was perfectly adequate and communication was easy - not a problem at all. Rooms are utilitarian - nothing fancy; bathrooms are modern with a nice shower. Linens were nice and cozy. We were comfortable and had no complaint with the room whatsoever. 5 stars for the personal family touch. Would stay there again, and recommend it to others.
