Hot from the Press: Number 3 of World’s 50 Best Ski Hotels in FT’s Pink Snow
"The Kristiania is the antithesis of the attention-seeking, diamond-encrusted version of luxury found in the Alps’ more arriviste resorts - an elegant, art-filled retreat that is packed with character. Built by ski champion Othmar Schneider - his hunting trophies still hang on the walls - it’s presided over by his glamorous daughter Gertrud. It sits just a minutes’ walk from the village centre and offers 29 rooms, each individually designed and many of them filled with antiques. There is no nightclub or rooftop jacuzzi here, but taking breakfast in the wood-panelled dining room you might find yourself sitting below a Lichtenstein, looking out over the frozen lake to the chalets of Lech and the soaring peaks beyond, as your coffee is poured from a silver pot. It oozes personality.” FT
