Hotel Riml

The wellness facilities, ski-in/ski-out location, and friendly staff are praised. Guests appreciate the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, beds, and bedding. The spacious rooms offer a large bathroom and sunny balcony.

Under new management since 2023, Jorg and his team are building something truly special here. I have stayed at Riml for more years than I can remember – and lots of the guest are multi-repeat visitors – says it all really. In 2023 I sensed a new vision and energy - and gosh is that evident and delivering now 2 years down the line. Service is efficient and at the same time friendly and super helpful – everywhere!! It all feels seamless and easy – as a guest all you need to do is turn up and enjoy yourself – they take care of absolutely everything else. Food is outstanding - the dinner menus are imaginative with unusual combinations (I think I will forever dream about the pumpkin seed sabayon with Char from Langenveld), and all beautifully presented; the cheeses are excellent too BTW. By the time you have feasted your way through themed starters (sushi, Greek etc – different every night), salads, soup, mains, dessert and cheese, you definitely need the next days’ skiing to burn it all off. The new system of a print out every morning of the previous days’ charges (drinks, etc) which one can check over breakfast is very useful (an elegant solution and definite improvement over before, having to sign bits of paper every time). Riml always had the best sun terrace in the universe, and they have managed to improve on even that - retractable roof covers and plenty of very stylish heating makes it useable even on the coldest of days – as well as meaning that the Tuesday and Friday live music sessions from 2-4.30 are rocking outdoors regardless of the weather. Daily buffet (savoury and sweet) from 2-4.30 is a real treat after a good ski … and the terrace is for Riml guest only – introduced in 2023 and retained. Downstairs sport shop has the same outstanding team of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable professionals who will advise and assist on all your skiing needs, or generally just chat about skiing too. I still smile every time I get in the lift that has 3 buttons: ski room (with separate ski cabinets for each hotel room), terrace and piste ... oh joy ... followed by a decent easy short glide to the lift. PS you do not need to pre-order your lift pass as you can get it ‘immediately’ at the hotel or there is a ticket office directly at the lift. I never pre order either lift pass or skis as its so easy at the hotel and gives me flexibility to decide what I want to do and get their advice on snow conditions and best choice of ski. I stay in a single as a solo traveller ... 'small but perfectly formed' ... springs to mind - plenty of cupboard space, and a lovely south facing balcony view down the valley. Comfy bed with super big pillows. The WiFi is excellent (improved access from previous years). Jorg is ever-present leading and alongside his team, chatting to guests and generally making everyone feel special. In closing, Riml now has a kind of laid-back panache, that it did not have before, an exclusivity that does not take itself too serious
