Skiing is one of our passions, and as such we feel privileged to be living in such a great ski area with the opportunity to ski whenever we want. We love skiing with guests whenever possible and we have no hesitation in recommending the SkiWelt for all levels of skiers.
Peter started learning to ski in Austria when he was just 3 years old, going on to become a ski instructor, coach and guide to the British Alpine Blind Squads for two Paralympics, and a Snowsport England Level 4 Coach and Tutor holding an International (IVSI) Licence.
He taught Alison to ski when they met nearly 40 years ago and they have been skiing together ever since.
</p> <h2> The Making of Club Hotel Edelweiss</h2> <p> Peter and Alison have extensively and sympathetically renovated the hotel since buying it almost 10 years ago, updating and upgrading all areas.  Regular guests enjoy coming back each year to see the latest changes.<br /> <br /> Built as a farmhouse in the 1950s, a farm shop and then a restaurant were added in the 1960s and first floor accommodation in 1974.  In 1986, the second and third floors were built and it remained a popular ‘Gasthof’ or Inn throughout the late ’80s and ’90s.  In 2005, Peter and Alison developed a new style and philosophy, gave the hotel a new name and started the renovation programme.  Every room has since been modernised, whilst maintaining many of the beautiful traditional Tirolean features that add to the ambience of the hotel.<br /> <br /> Future plans include converting the old barn at the back of the hotel into a wellness area.  Watch this space!</p> <h2>  </h2>

After Peter and Alison bought the hotel and developed a new style and philosophy, they gave the hotel a new name and started their renovation programme. Every room has since been modernised, whilst maintaining many of the beautiful traditional Tirolean features that add to the ambience of the hotel.
