The hotel Riegler is going from strength to strength and we have experienced
some of our best re-booking levels ever. It is well located only 5 mins from
central Saalbach and just a few seconds on the skibus to the new Schattberg
gondola. Here we have a ski and boot store (only about € 15 per week) which
converts a 7min walk in ski boots into an easy loosener in street shoes. It's
best to start the day from the Schattberg gondola. There are plenty of other
buses to other parts of the system or you may want to walk around the shops
and cafes before taking the lift. It's a colossal lift, brand new in 2002, and
one of the focal points of the whole system. From the mid station the blue run
goes virtually back to the hotel. From the top an easy black or red eventually
joins the blue. The Riegler has great views of the north-facing slopes of the
Schattberg mountain in front of the hotel. It is fairly modern and has been
refurbished to our specification to easily match its 3 star rating. On the ground
floor, the modern ski store has heated boot holders and exits onto the hotel
terrace where a short, steep access road joins the main road and the ski bus
stop. There's also a sauna next to the ski room, and a large reception with
internet accesspoint and seating. Most of the public areas are up on the first
floor. The bar is very welcoming and well designed, with a pleasant ambience.
The lounge has Sky TV and is a relaxing, quiet area, away from the main bar,
which is next to the smart restaurant. Most of the bedrooms have balcony that
gets the sun all day and all have private facilities. They are nicely decorated
and comfortable. There are 3 double rooms that are slightly smaller than the
twins. We recommend this excellent Equity-run hotel, which operates with our
customary attention to detail, superb personal service and good food. We have
had fantastic reports following our first two seasons.
