Hotel Alpenfriede

We have just had a lovely week skiing in Hochsolden. The hotel was excellent. Classy without being stuffy, very pretty and right on the slopes. The staff are some of the nicest people we’ve ever come across and nothing was too much trouble. Special thank you to all the staff but especially to Jakob who looked after us in the dining room all week. The food was great, the rooms were nice as well as being spotless and we were overlooking the slopes which was nice. It’s a family run hotel and you can tell. We’ve had a special week and will definitely stay again!

I went on a ski trip to Hochsolden for 1 week and it was possibly one of the best ski hotels I've been to. The food was amazing and very artistic. The rooms were very cozy, beds were quite comfy and the view was exceptional. Staff were all very welcoming, but above all the best part of the hotel was the "Ski in ski out" element of the hotel. There was no need to walk to a lift, we just skied down to the closest lift up.

We were fortunate enough to have spent a week at the Alpenfriede at the end of January 2024. From our arrival, throughout our stay, to our departure, the experience was amazing. The welcome from the staff on reception included a guided tour of the hotel and the facilities. Our room was lovely - my only regret is that I didn't pay a little extra for a balcony / slope view room. The bed was comfortable, with plenty of storage space, coffee making, and a lovely bathroom. The ski lockers are probably some of the best I have used; the ski room is large, spotlessly clean, plenty of room and opens directly onto the slope. The ski in / ski out is exactly that - straight out and onto an easy red - a short run down to the gondola. The restaurant is comfortable, spacious and very cosy, and the food - well - what can you say. Breakfast is a buffet with cold meats, cereal, cheese etc and there are eggs, bacon, and omelettes made to request. Between 3pm and 5pm there is a 'snack' buffet - soup, savoury and sweet - you definitely don't need to eat on the piste. The evening meal - it is like sitting down to a five course Michelin star tasting menu - absolutely amazing. There are choices for the main course of fish, meat and vegetarian. One night the appetiser included a shellfish bisque - as i cant do shellfish I asked i could have mine without - the staff not only removed the bisque but gave me a meat alternative without being asked - nothing was a problem. The wine list is varied with plenty of opportunity to partake of local reds and whites - all reasonably priced. Drinks are very reasonable with a pint of beer costing about £5.00. In the afternoons after skiing, the sun terrace is beautiful with views of the Solden ski area with views over to Timmelsjoch and the Hochgurgl ski area - it is a real sun trap. I can't think of a better place to relax after a day on the slopes. Worthy of special mention are all the staff, but particularly Frank, who is incredibly attentive, combined with an amazing sense of humour. Thank you to everyone for probably our best ever skiing holiday, and we will see you next year. Diolch yn Fawr
