An oasis of peace and luxury in a picturesque mountain village, Das Edelweiss is a beautiful hotel that is run superbly by the Hettegger family. Modern, sophisticated luxury with features like the indoor pool slides that I have never seen before in a luxury hotel. The spa, the gym, the infinity pool, the breakfast, the dinner, the sushi bar, and the lounge bar were all fantastic. We stayed for two weeks and just sitting on our room balcony and looking at the view never got old. We hiked in the mountains most days and you could walk out of the property and access an array of hikes all around, if we did use our car to get to a trailhead, the drive was 5 minutes. On a couple of occasions, we even borrowed hiking equipment from the hotel at no charge! The Grossarl town was a picture postcard Austrian mountain village with great coffee shops and small streets to wander down. An underground car park that was clean, secure, and free of charge! We went to the Salzburg beer festival on one day, a 15-minute drive to the start of the valley and an easy train ride into the center of Salzburg where we ended up in the Grossarl beer tent! Most of all it was the service which was outstanding. The most interesting thing for me was finding out that the family all worked in the hotel and by 'worked', I mean not in management jobs but as waitresses and electricians and behind the check-in desk. This hotel is run with skill and pride by a family that cares about you and the hotel, a most unusual experience in today's corporate world. A most welcoming, luxury mountain resort. Thank you Sabene and Daniel and Karina for looking after us, we will be back
