super Lage direkt am Skilift!
Ostersonntag: Anreise (zwei Erwachsene) früh um 08.30, Reservation vorhanden, sehr freundlicher und informativer Empfang, Parkplatz wird zugewiesen, ist aber natürlich noch nicht frei. MA bietet sich an das Auto umzuparkieren wenn der Platz frei wird. Vor-reservierte Ski-Tagesbilette zu vorteilhaften Preis erhalten! Wir machen uns auf den Weg zur Piste, der Weg wird genau beschrieben von MA. Rückkehr ins Hotel um 16 Uhr: wiederum sehr freundlicher Empfang und einchecken erfolgt problemlos. Essenszeiten werden bekanntgegeben und auch alle anderen nötigen Infos zum Aufenthalt erhalten. Nachtessen: etwas spärliche Fleischmenge, aber angesichts des Preises (17.50 Fr.) durchaus verkraftbar. Nebst feinem Dessert noch allerlei Süßigkeiten auf dem Tisch verfügbar. (Ostern!) Frühstücksbuffet ist okay bis gut, nur die Warteschlange vor der einzigen Kaffeemaschine ist etwas mühsam. Auschecken wiederum problemlos und unkompliziert, Auto darf auf dem Parkplatz gelassen werden, Parkkarte kann am Abend an der Rezeption hingelegt werden, Jugi schließt an diesem Tag (Saisonschluss) bereits um 10 Uhr. Fazit: Wir kommen wieder!
