AOL Travel Editor's Review

In 1979, proprietor Johannes Faessler opened the Sonnenalp Resort in the heart of Vail Village, modeled after his family’s ranch house in Bavaria. We love the intimate mountain feel that remains today, reflected in the traditional Austrian uniforms worn by staff to the plush down duvets on every bed. The Sonnenalp is known for some of the best customer service and hospitality in Vail—and it’s well-deserved. The resort has 12 hotel rooms and 115 suites (a major remodel took place in 2006, adding 29 rooms and suites), a full-service spa, a private 18-hole golf course and three restaurants (a full breakfast at Ludwig’s with massive cups of coffee is included in the room price). Check out the Bully Ranch’s mudslides for an après ski treat and the Swiss Chalet for authentic fondue, raclette and traditional alpine cuisine such as züricher geschnetzeltes (veal with mushrooms and a sinfully good cream sauce). Visitors should opt for a suite, particularly if you’re traveling with a family. There are more than 10 types of suites to choose from; a reservations agent can help you figure out which one is right for you.
