The setting in Lenk
The hotel sits in Lenk, a mountain village at the head of the Simmental valley. Skiing and hiking are the listed activities, with ski storage on site and a tour desk to help plan days out. The terrace gives guests an outdoor spot back at the property.
Rooms with balconies
The Superior Double Room and Junior Suite both come with a balcony, private bathroom and flat-screen TV. The suite is the larger option at 35 m² with a sofa bed alongside the queen bed, making it the pick for anyone wanting space to spread out.
Restaurant on site
The name says it: this is a hotel-restaurant, and the dining room is central to the place. Breakfast is a strength guests single out, and having a restaurant in the building means no searching for dinner after a day on the slopes or trails.
Wellness extras
Alongside the sauna, the hotel lists a massage service and a solarium, both at an additional charge. It's a small-scale setup rather than a full spa, but useful for easing tired legs after skiing or walking.
