Hotel Almrausch

Just come back from a lovely stay at this hotel! 100% worth a five star rating! All the staff were friendly and very attentive during dinner and breakfast ( but not overbearing) and every room was spotlessly clean. Food every night was gorgeous and enjoyed every single meal we ate there. Couldn’t be closer to the ski lift, about two arms reach away once outside!!! Also had amazing spa/ chill areas which was very needed after a long day on the slopes. Small hotel but exactly what we wanted, no noise, clean, friendly staff and beautiful food! Very well ran and would definitely return here if skiing in the area again. Made our family holiday so much more special, thank you hotel Almrausch ＜3

This is our second time staying at this amazing hotel, with a very hospitable family and their staff. The location is excellent, next to the ski lift, and with the new elevator (!), you can go directly from the heated ski storage to the slopes. The food is a delight every day, and half-board is simply a must. Relaxing in the (extensive) sauna after a day of skiing is absolutely enjoyable. We've stayed in quite a few hotels, but never in one where cleaning is done non-stop. This hospitality family knows how to treat their guests and deserves a big compliment. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We loved our stay at Hotel Almrusch. We didn’t find too many recent reviews for it before we went so here’s some thing we noticed that you might find helpful for your trip: Ahead of time a quick email to the hotel sorted our group of 8 to all sit together at dinner. Sarah was really helpful. The hotel is located next to an easy T-bar lift with a ‘blue’ run coming back down so you can be our of the modern ski room on the basement level of the hotel & onto the slope in moments. Quite a few people we spoke to commented that the skiing here was more challenging than other resorts and we certainly experienced a very wide range of ‘blue’ pistes from the very genetic to the very steep. The hotel is located on the North facing side of the valley so the rooms at the front don’t get the sun but the ones at the back will. We stayed in room 404 which had an amazing slope view, lovely balcony, large bedroom and bathroom with bathtub and shower over. Highly recommend. The staff are all incredibly helpful without being intrusive. The food is excellent. As a group of 8 we tried every meal on the menus and enjoyed them all. The main gondola for the south facing side of the mountain (ski to Saalbach) is about a 5 min walk. Worth it as the skiing in this side was generally less icy when we visited. You can also get the ski bus back for free and it stops just a few moments from the hotel (stop 15 I think). The gondola for the North-facing side (behind the hotel) is easily accessed by taking the t-bar lift up and following route 15 across the tops of the slopes to the right and down. Food & drink on the mountain was priced equally with in the town and IMO the mountain food was generally better for lunch. The only very minor downside was the hotel bar is quite small so when a group of 8 like ours was in there it was pretty much full. That’s l being really picky though as this is a great family run hotel. Thanks very much Sarah & team!
