This was a fantastic hotel with an incredibly kind staff. My husband and I came for a week around New Year's Eve and loved every day of our stay here. The spa is beautiful (Austrian style, co-ed), they have a convenient ski room to store your ski stuff, and is located near the ski bus route to the gondola. The food served in the dining room is delicious. We did the half-board option and were very happy we did. Note that the hotel is on the outer edge of the town of Brixen im Thale, so it is not the easiest to bop around into the center of town on foot (at least in the winter). This was fine for us since we were usually coming home exhausted from a day of skiing and ate dinner at the hotel. The hotel was very family-friendly, with lots of families with kids of all ages around. If you are going on a trip with a group of buddies looking to rage, this is probably not the spot for you. If you are looking for a relaxing, sport and wellness oriented stay (couple or family), this is your place!
