Schwarzer Adler  

Tucked into the center of Nauders on the Reschen Pass, this spa hotel sits where Austria meets Italy and Switzerland. You're minutes from ski lifts, Lake Resia and Nauderberg Castle, with the Mittelstation Ski Lift and Wildspitze close by.

Schwarzer Adler is a family-friendly, 44-room spa hotel with warmly decorated rooms and separate sitting areas. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, satellite channels, private bathrooms with hairdryers and bathrobes, and cribs/infant beds available on request (surcharge).

Full-service spa and a panoramic indoor pool with underwater massages and waterfall anchor the wellness offering, alongside a Finnish sauna, Turkish steam bath, Kneipp basin and massage room. Winter programming is lively—ski guide days, toboggan nights, torchlight hikes and ski storage on site—while summer perks include free mountain bikes, a playground and a sunbathing area. Other highlights: fitness center, ping-pong, solarium and limited onsite parking.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected throughout the hotel, and there is limited onsite parking.

Start with an extensive breakfast buffet served each morning (buffet available for a fee). The hotel also has a restaurant, bar and café, and half-board is available on request—typically an afternoon snack plus a four-course dinner.
