Our stay at the Hochfirst Hotel was almost perfect, with a fantastic atmosphere and excellent service. I particularly enjoyed the spa facilities and the indoor/outdoor pool, which were both great after a day on the slopes. However, I was disappointed by the hotel's policy of charging for tap water at dinner, which felt out of place in such a luxurious setting. Additionally, the evening dining could become quite formal for some guests, which is something to keep in mind.

I just returned from a fantastic stay at the Hochfirst Alpen Wellness Spa Resort. The friendly and attentive staff made our experience truly memorable. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms stood out, and the location was perfect for skiing right next to the ski school. While the dining was mostly excellent, with a wide variety of options, some dishes were a bit too gourmet for my taste. The spa facilities were lovely but could use a few more options. Overall, I felt I got great value for money, and I can't wait to return!
