The 5 best ski resorts in 2020
Winter is fast approaching and I hope to embrace the next ski season. Despite the pandemic, our favorite ski resorts are engaged, motivated and preparing their customers with enthusiasm and love. We expect the skiing experience to be even more spectacular due to a reduction in the number of visitors to the resort, which will give you the privilege of enjoying the slopes even more. Even where local authorities impose certain limits, ski resorts, as well as our number one hotel pick, go out of their way to make your ski vacation a memorable one and keep you coming back for more. We will also do our part since we consider your pleasure to be our greatest duty. We want you to enjoy your ski vacation and present our favorite and most recommended ski resorts for this winter:
Kulm Hotel, St. Moritz, Switzerland The Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz is one of the larger hotels in the village. The hotel opened in 1864, and since then this renowned property has welcomed many well-known clients. It has 172 rooms in total. The village center can be reached on foot in a few minutes, as is the cable car which leads to the extremely large ski area. The hotel offers a Michelin-starred restaurant and a very spacious spa area. To enjoy St. Moritz and its charm, the Kulm is perfect for combining a skiing experience and relaxation.
Thurnhers Alpenhof, Zürs, Austria The Arlberg area is one of the most beautiful ski areas in the world. It is a challenge to explore this region because of its endless choices of slopes. In addition to the well-known town of Lech, Zürs is becoming more and more popular. Perfectly connected to the ski area with skiing and skiing, Zürs offers traditional restaurants and chic hotels. The privately owned Thurnhers Alpenhof is a 5-star hotel with only 38 rooms. It is a property surrounded by beautiful mountains where you feel at home and enjoy a very personalized service. The Thurnhers Alpenhof indulges culinary delights at the highest level - the two top chefs Ronald Thielemann and René Pusch, take guests on a culinary journey every evening. The hotel is also ideal for families, as the elevators for children are only a few meters from the hotel. We highly recommend this unique property for a ski vacation in the Arlberg region.
Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, Zermatt, Switzerland The Matterhorn - 4,478 meters high - is probably Switzerland's most famous mountain, and nowhere else can you get a better view than from the village of Zermatt. Zermatt is a car-free village in southern Switzerland with the typical Swiss charm of mountains and chalets beyond your expectations of a traditional Alpine town. The ski area is considered one of the best but also the most demanding in Switzerland. The Zermatterhof has been located in the middle of the nostalgic village center since 1879. This Grand Hotel is by no means old and dusty with its 64 rooms - on the contrary, due to the recent renovation the hotel has a new, modern but still traditional Look. To relax after a long day of skiing, the spa is the ideal place with a large swimming pool, sauna and gym. Zermatterhof cuisine is based on Swiss and French specialties. The "say cheese" restaurant, where everything revolves around great Swiss cheese, is particularly popular. The hotel takes skiers to the ski lifts and back by golf cart. And even after a week in Zermatt, the view of the Matterhorn remains breathtaking.
Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski, St. Moritz, Switzerland Another gem in St. Moritz with 184 rooms is the Kempinski located on the edge of the beautiful village. The hotel offers 3 excellent restaurants and a 3000 m² spa with swimming pool, sauna and gym. The Restaurant "Les Saisons" welcomes you every day with a gourmet breakfast and at Christmas and New Year's Eve, also with champagne. The "Enoteca" offers regional Swiss dishes and has 14 Gault Millau points. La Ca d'Oro is a gourmet restaurant with 17 Gault Millau points, which offers menus that appeal to all the senses. The Lobby Bar is the relaxed heart of the hotel, where you can meet up after skiing or spend a relaxed evening with piano music. We are also offering a 4th night free at this hotel throughout the winter.
W Aspen, Aspen, Colorado, United States The legendary champagne powder is one of the main reasons why skiing in Aspen is a must. Aspen also offers many events during the winter. Aspen's art scene is growing and the Aspen Art Museum is growing in importance on the art scene. For music lovers, some concerts usually offer free entry. Aspen offers many luxury hotels, of which we recommend the W Aspen with its 88 rooms. The hotel opened in summer 2019 and the brand targets the young at heart. It enjoys an excellent location right next to the ski lifts and not far from the center. On the "Wet Deck", people meet every day for a comfortable après-ski before heading to the hotel's "Living Room" - this is the hotel restaurant where creative cuisine is served. The W Aspen will be one of the must-see locations for the perfect Aspen ski vacation this winter 2020.
The choice of ski areas and hotels is plentiful, and everyone is expecting many customers in winter 2020. Thanks to the pandemic, availability is still plentiful in almost all regions and cancellation conditions have become very flexible this year. . Anyone who has experienced Venice this summer without mass tourism should definitely plan a ski vacation and enjoy it. There will be a lot less traffic on the slopes this winter, and we have no doubts that the 2020/21 ski vacation will be your highlight of the year!
