This location allows for hiking directly from the hotel. The alpine meadow trails are amazing. The staff went out of their way to ensure my comfort. I found the views from the rooms fabulous.
The gondola to the hotel did not operate past 6 pm, and waits for alternative rides were occasionally long.
