Advantages: Beautiful surroundings Disadvantages: A trek from the main street and not family friendly
Good points first - hotel very clean and tidy and the food was excellent. Room maids were fantastic. Staff very friendly and a quiet location, with excellent views of Wengen and surrounding mountains. We stayed for New Year and the restaurant gets very full.
Bad points - we stayed in a junior suite and the beds are nothing more than camp beds with very uncomfortable pillows. Fixtures and fittings aren't quiet 4 star i.e. no power shower, small bath etc. It's not a family friendly hotel and noisy children are advised not to attend dinner and for the parents to use the hotel's listening service. We had a 9 month old baby and although it states fridge, it's a chiller not a fridge. Luckily we had a window in our bathroom and the outside temp was below 5oC most days, so the baby milk and food was kept outside. Service in the bar and lounge ...
Advantages: Fantastic views within easy reach by all ages. Disadvantages: Pricey if not using discount cards

for our ski-teacher and she was joining in and singing and the cake was put infront of her very embarrassing!!!
If you want to go off-piste and be safe from any falling snow(avalanches!!!) then you can take a guide who equip us with bleepers so that helicoters and rescue planes can fingd people easily!!! Ask for Lawrence or Evan, v. Amusing!!!Froggies!!!
There is a local sports centre which you have to pay to get in with wall climbing footbvall, squash I think too. the hotel 'The Blizzard!' has a BILLIARDS TABLE AS WELL OOOOOOH!!!

You can rent skis in val d ...
