Hotel Brunnwirt

A small gem of a hotel in a small gem of a skiing resort. Great food in massive portions -do NOT order half board if you want to lose weight. To stay stable, have the breakfast and the dinner and NOTHING for lunch as you ski your heart out all day ;-) In other words, this place manages to fill up even teenagers. Very friendly owners who run the place themselves, with lots of help from the older generation, and very nice staff, too. Loved the water fountain in the dining room where you can help yourself to as many pitchers of top quality alpine tap water as you want. Clean, spacious, in walking distance to the slopes/ cross- country skiing. With their own properly equipped room for overnight ski storage, if you don't use the one directly on the slopes. They have their own sauna area, and you can even step outside from there. Short walk to the bus stations, too, and the ATM, and the supermarket, and the tourism office. This place is actually feasible for people WITHOUT a car. I gathered that both English and Italian are spoken. So, if it seems a little on the expensive side: just go ahead, it's worth every penny. Hope to make a return visit next year. A tiny downside: Wifi, while free, is a bit on the slow side. But you are not there chiefly for that, I hope.
