Bergblick

Bergblick

At Bergblick in Graen, the indoor-outdoor panorama pool opens at seven each morning, early enough for guests to swim laps with a view of the Tannheimer Tal peaks before the day's skiing begins. The hotel keeps to a rhythm built around that valley: skiing and ski storage for winter, hiking and bike rental once the snow clears, and a library and billiards room for whichever days the weather closes in. Fifty rooms range from standard doubles to suites, several with mountain views and one category with an indoor fireplace built in, useful on the nights the sauna and steam room aren't enough. Massage and spa treatments run through the day, Hatha yoga twice a week keeps the fitness room from feeling like an afterthought, and a conference hall with meeting facilities means the odd work trip can slot in around the wellness schedule. Breakfast, a restaurant, a bar, and a diet menu on request cover most appetites, and allergy-free rooms are available for guests who need them. Families get a playroom for children, though the hotel's quieter pace and spa-first layout will suit couples and solo travellers more than anyone chasing a lively scene. Staff speak English and German, check-in runs from 3pm and check-out is by 11am, and a city tax of EUR 1.70 per person per night applies, waived for children under 16. What sets Bergblick apart from other alpine hotels nearby is that pool, indoors and out, framed by the mountains rather than tucked into a basement. It's a hotel for people who want the outdoors and the wellness in the same day, not one or the other. Bergblick pairs an indoor-outdoor panorama pool with ski storage and hiking trails right in the Tannheimer Tal, so guests move between mountain and spa in the same afternoon. Fifty rooms include mountain-view suites and one category with its own fireplace. Better suited to travellers who want quiet over nightlife.
