Edelweiss is charming and quaint, We loved it. Klaus, Veronika and their staff could not be more welcoming and helpful. We did not ski and this had been our first visit to a winter ski resort. Each morning after breakfast Klaus would show us a good walk on a map(which he loaned us for the duration of our week stay). When we returned in the evening, he, Veronika and their staff would inquire as to how we enjoyed our day. It was like coming home to a loving family each day.

We were encouraged to make up a packed lunch from the breakfast fare each morning (plastic bags being provided). Afternoon tea was served each day. 5 course evening meals. The whole experience was delightful.

It is 3mins walk from the cable cars and 5mins Kitzbuhel town centre. The train track runs by the hotel but this didn't bother us at all. We had a wonderful view of the snow covered mountain from our balcony.

Walkers can get a 'single' gondola(cable car) trip ticket at a reduced rate (E16.50) with the Kitzbuhel guest card which we were given when we first arrived in the hotel. This is one trip up the mountain and one trip back down. It can be from a different gondola station. Walking on the mountain is magical, as is the beautiful riverside walk from Kitzbuhel to Aurach and beyond.

We couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Returned to this hotel for another skiing holiday. A warm welcome by the wonderful owners Klauss and Veronica who do everything possible to make your stay as good as they can. They have all the knowledge you need to make the most out of your stay.The food is fantastic. Breakfast is a great selection of hot and cold food. The best part is the area where you can make rolls (ham/cheese) to take with you and a lovely selection of fruit/biscuits and cartons of drink for when you are skiing. This saves a fortune as the mountain cafes are naturally more expensive. We tended to just buy a big bowl of soup on the mountain with a hot drink which reduced the cost. Evening meal is 5 course, the main course you select at breakfast, a small beer or wine is included. All the staff are lovely and so friendly. The hotel is a short walk to the main lift and you can ski to the door if there is enough snow as there was this year. On the top floor is a nice sauna and a room to relax after a hard days skiing. I took a picture of the room incase I can convert an attic area one day in my house! We went to watch an ice hockey match (7 euros) at the nearby rink. Great entertainment. Ask Klauss if there is a match. Look for the amazing climbing wall there too. Could have watched them for hours! My favourite cafe in the town was in the main street near the Louis Vuitton shop called Praxmair. I don't think it has changed in 30 years but the cakes are delicious. I brought some back to the U.K. to share with my mum. This year we went with our children ( 23 & 26). They agreed that they would only ever go back to the Edelweiss if they went to Kitzbuhel.

We had a lovely holiday staying at the Edelweiss Hotel in August 2011.The owners and staff were excellent hosts,the accomodation and food were fanatastic and we found the location perfect for our needs.Overall the experience was excellent leaving us with many happy memories. Northern Ireland.

Although hotel was clean and tidy our room was nice but not palatial.The staff and owner were always available and helped make our holiday. I cannot recommend this hotel enough and will stay their again.
