Hotel Edelweiss  

Perched high in the Ötztal Alps in Hochsölden (near Sölden), this family-run hotel sits at about 2,090 m above sea level. Ski lifts and gondolas are right nearby — Hochsoelden Ski Area, Rotkogl Gondola and Giggijoch Ski Lift are all within easy reach, and Obergurgl-Hochgurgl is a short drive away.

Comfortable rooms and suites (49 guestrooms) boast beautiful mountain views and private bathrooms with tubs or showers, bathrobes and complimentary bottled water. The lobby buzzes around a warm open/tiled-stove fireplace; there’s a playroom for kids and a panoramic indoor pool for all ages. The vibe is cozy alpine with modern comforts — half-board is included, and the property typically closes between late April and the end of November.

Ski-in/ski-out access, ski school, ski rental, ski storage and ski transfers make this a true winter-sports hub. Recharge in a full spa centre with saunas, steam bath, massage room, solarium, winter garden and relaxation room. Other perks include a panoramic indoor pool, fitness room, library, ping-pong, free on-site parking and free Wi‑Fi — wake up to crisp alpine air and step straight onto the slopes.

There’s a conference hall for meetings and events, plus complimentary wireless internet throughout the hotel. Transfer and airport shuttle services are available for a surcharge.

Edelweiss Restaurant serves local Tyrolean cuisine and regional specialties, with half-board that includes a breakfast buffet, dinner and an indulgent afternoon snack buffet of cakes, sandwiches and hot and cold drinks. A bar/lounge pours cocktails and wine, and limited room service is available.
