Ski & Bike Hotel Wiesenegg

It was a real treat to stay at the Wiesenegg Hotel during our recent ski holiday. I was a bit concerned about the location initially but it was easy to get to the main lifts - you just go via two drag lifts positioned right behind the hotel. The hotel is around ten minutes walk from Hinterglemm and connected to Saalbach via the ski bus (covered with your Ski Circus Lift Pass), we liked that it was in a nice chilled out part of town. For us, the food was the biggest bonus of staying here. It's evident that the chefs really care about the food they are putting out. Everything, from the granola and muesli bar to the salad dressings, desserts and wine pairings was perfected beautifully. Every breakfast and evening meal was a delight (highly recommend staying on a half board basis as it really was the best food we've eaten in a hotel). The staff were accommodating, friendly and helpful at all times - going out of their way to help and make everything as easy as possible for us. It felt like being invited into a family home - which evidently, we were! Another great bonus to nurse tired muscles after a full day's ski was the hotel's Black Box spa - a collection of three saunas/steam rooms with suggested timings to get the most from each. There was also a delightful tea room with healthy teas, nuts and fruit and a relaxation lounge which was perfect for snuggling up with a book. The only very slight downside for us were the beds which we found a little spongey. But this was a small gripe and it certainly wouldn't stop us returning - possibly in the summer to do some hiking. Overall, a wonderful stay with some great memories of our first ski holiday in Austria.
