The hotel's four restaurants include an informal wine bar, a terrace restaurant, a main restaurant and tables in the wine cellar.

Other facilities include a library and lounge, a luxurious spa with indoor swimming pool, relaxation area, treatment rooms (3), sauna, steam room and an outdoor hot tub with fabulous alpine views to soak away those aching limbs after a day of walking.
