Oetztal Alps Honeymoon Holidays

This was a ski trip, so I chose this hotel because it has in&out skiing. You literally walk out the back, and ski onto the run. A little trickier coming back at the end of the day. You have to take the lift (19 I think) above it, and then ski down a very steep run to get to the back of the hotel. That was asking a lot from my legs after hours of skiing. There might be an easier route, but i didn‘t ask. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel was. Room was great, the breakfast was excellent, and they also have a snack time after skiing, and of course dinner. There is a warm, indoor pool, and a small gym with a treadmill & free weights. I did a short workout one evening. You get your own locker for storing skis, boots, etc that is coded to your room keycard. Overall, I loved it! The staff was friendly & helpful. I will definitely return to Sölden to ski again, and will stay at Hotel Edelweiß. I won‘t even bother looking for a different hotel - it‘s just too convenient!

Not quite a 4-star experience. A beautiful property and nice rooms, but let down by poor housekeeping and disappointing evening meals in particular for children. Lacking the Austrian charm that we would expect and enjoy on a skiing holiday.

Lovely hotel, good facilities and pleasant staff. Staff speak limited English, but enough to get things done. It’s a half board, but doesn’t include any drinks. On the first night we thought that the house wine was included as menu had no price. We then got a bill the next day, which was fine, but just bear in mind that drinks are not included - it wasn’t clear to us. Staff also don’t know the prices, on the following night we asked how much the wine costed, we were told 31 euros and it ended up being 44 - again not an issue, but weird going to a restaurant and not knowing how much the bill will be. However, it’s a lovely place, food is good and the rooms are comfortable. Ski slopes are lovely. A lot smaller than the place we normally go in France (Val D’isre) but very well kept, great snow beginning of March and reasonably priced. I would recommend it and would definitely go back.

Close to Pitztal Glacier mountain.
