As if the Zillertal wasn't beautiful enough: hiking, biking and skiing trails. We didn't get to partake in the latter, since we went in the summer. The bonus is that's the offseason, which meant we got very reasonable rates; these included breakfast and dinner, plus an afternoon dessert. And the Achensee makes for a beautiful day trip (be advised: the water is very cold!). What a find! Beautiful and clean rooms, wonderful service... the staff went out of their way when they found we were visiting from the US. And don't be surprised to hear their tales of coming to America, or to have their waitresses eager to practice their English on you. Bicycle rentals are free; you get your deposit back if you manage to bring them back in one piece (not a problem, the trails we took were quite easy, but there are some more difficult mountain trails for the adventurous). The hotel also has a small pool (not very exciting) along with infrared booths and a dry sauna. But the highlight of these amenities is the roman steam room, complete with a tub of cold water on the side. What an experience! If we have one complaint, it's that the dining room was a little on the warm side. But the food was delicious, and always came with wine. And, as I mentioned before, the service was attentive and very personable. All in all, it was an experience we would both recommend to everyone!
