Words cannot describe how incredible this nature Park, hotel, restaurant and spa are. It's a complete hidden gem.
Parking - when you take the turn off to the park, you arrive at the parking lot and gift shop. This is where you check in for the park and pay for parking. You also let them know you are a hotel guest and provide them with your vehicle information. Check out all of the natural and locally made products as well as lake trout items they offer at the gift shop! I brought home soap bars for my family as well as tea (I wish I bought more of the tea!)
The nature park - it is surrounded by mountains and the lake is unlike anything I have seen before. Crystal clear so as to see the fallen trees that have naturally ended their life cycle and the trout that reside within the waters. You can walk around the park on a path, and you can take a quiet boat ride across the lake. Because it's high up in the mountains, it's often cloudy and cool but this does not affect the beauty or the experience - just make sure to bring a light jacket!
The hotel and restaurant - an excellent lunch and dinner spot while you're taking a break from the nature park. The service is great, and I really enjoyed the préfixe menu made up of seasonal items and trout right from the lake! They also offer a wine pairing with the food. The rooms are quaint like most of the rooms in Europe, but you don't intend to spend much time in the room anyways. Take a walk around the park path or check out the spa!
The spa - if you're not walking the park, the spa is a must experience for this hotel. There's a large 'classic' hot tub, a indoor sauna and showers, a hot room where you can lounge on wooden chairs, an outdoor personal hot bath experience with beautiful views of the mountains, as well as an outdoor sauna. Do your best to spend as much time at the spa and experience every option they offer because each is such a unique experience! I did not have to purchase a massage to enjoy the spa but that is another great option.
I wish I could live here! read more
