Despite my appearing as a mad (and elderly) Englishman wanting to ski out of season, the staff were extremely helpful in enabling me to find out when the slopes were open, taxiing me down to cable car base, and arranging to store my equipment using the facilities of another hotel - really friendly and helpful. When the slopes were closed, they indicated where would be good to walk. Lovely hotel in a beautiful location, and a delightful buffet breakfast. My room was upsized from what I had booked as there were few guests, and was impeccably maintained. A very special experience, and considering Switzerland is not a cheap destination, very reasonably priced. I hope I can return.
