Very enjoyable... We really enjoyed a trip to a lake called 'Hintersee' nearby as it wasn't very touristy. Try to take the path less trodden.

Most memorable? Going up to 5 fingers and seeing the spectacular view after seeing the Ice Caves which were spectacular in a different way... Fantastic.

In the past we have always downhill skied, but this time we decided to try cross country skiing having never done it before. It took a short while to learn the basics and by the end of the week we were able to complete a cross country journey - with no broken bones!

We couldn't have asked for more, the chalet was just perfect with excellent standards, clean, safe and totally family orientated with the Nintendo Wii going down a storm on the snug evenings with the log fire burning.

A wonderfully relaxing week, very well looked after by all the hotel staff. It made a refreshing change to be in a welcoming, family run hotel - a far cry from the standard international brands.

We didn't use or need the car at all. The guest house we stayed bought local organic products and provided energy saving domestic appliances.
