What guests report

Local knowledge

Book a room in the main Silberfux building rather than Haus Sonnengold if you want to avoid the steep 5-minute uphill walk with luggage and children.
Rooms with direct pool access (like family panorama rooms) are ideal for traveling with young children.
Request an individually prepared egg dish at breakfast; they cook these fresh to order at your table.
