Delicious Restaurant

I had dinner at the hotel's Antlers Restaurant three nights in a row because the food was simply excellent. The bread and butter pudding was to die for! Enjoying such great meals without having to venture out after a long day on the slopes was a real treat.

We had a lovely stay with our kids in adjoining rooms, making it a great choice for our ski trip, despite the season not being the best. The hotel's restaurant served delightful food and the onsen nearby was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of skiing. However, the overall experience felt less authentic in terms of local culture, which might not suit everyone.
