Loved by Sonnenalp Hotel guests
"Sonnenalp has a location right near the gondola to store your skis and boots which makes the ski experience even more enjoyable."
"On our return, the equipment is stored, we have hot towels and fresh cookies!"
"Ski valet and their shop location only 50 yards from the main gondola was clutch, and probably will have me returning to this hotel in the future."
