Sonnenalp Hotel: Bavarian Warmth in the Heart of Vail Village

The Sonnenalp Hotel brings a slice of Bavaria to the Rocky Mountains, a family-owned resort in the very heart of Vail Village, carried on by the Faessler family from their roots as hoteliers in Germany. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it pairs a vast spa and its own golf club with the warm, hand-carved alpine character of an Old World chalet.

The dining spans the Alps and the Rockies, largely under chef Florian Schwarz. Ludwig's is the fine-dining room of seafood and Colorado game with an award-winning wine list; the Swiss Chalet serves fondue and schnitzel; Bully Ranch brings hearty American and Southwestern fare; Harvest offers New American cuisine at the golf club; and King's Club pours après-ski cocktails with live music.

For a warm, family-run Vail stay, the Sonnenalp is a benchmark.
