- Excursion19326051904 (10/5): The best Anniversary ever! - Beside the fine accomodation, what is special at Hotel Alpina is the staff. Everyone is friendly, kind and provides the guests with whatever they need. The food is superb! We had the most wonderful holiday for our 20th anniversary! THANK YOU, Thomas, Carmen and Team!

- Getaway50759941030 (8/5): Nice hotel,lovely place to be and best rainshower ever! - Swinningpool outsider is Nice but not in september, pool insite top! We had a Nice stay during 10 days, also though the setter was much better dan previeuwed. Lovely cleaning ladies, friendly girls helping you with your llittle problems. Housewine is oké. Bed was to hard for me but oke for my husband. The new shower was sooooo good! We liked the Raurissertal, not crowdy and verry green.
- Dubai_Expat01 (10/5): Lovely break, great hotel - We stayed there over Christmas and had a lovely time. All staff members are very friendly and attentive and the half board is very nice, you can choose from different options as a main course and the food is very tasty. The room we had was spacious and clean with a nice view of the mountains. The owners are very engaged and will check in with you regularly. The gym is small but we enjoyed the time in the indoor swimming pool, there is also a sauna. I would definately recommend this hotel, we had an amazing time. Thanks to all the staff of Alpina!
- PenelopeK592 (10/5): Best Christmas Ever - This was such a wonderful hotel. Super friendly staff, beautiful comfortable rooms, gourmet food, just an all-around perfect experience. We had two adjoining rooms for our family of four, and there was a table in the corner perfect for playing games in the evening. The decor was cozy and tasteful with lots of natural wood, the beds were comfortable, the shower was amazing, there was a cellar for ski equipment and the lifts were not far away by car or ski bus. An extra plus: there were lovely thick drapes that blocked out all the light, so we slept like a dream. These are the extra touches that make the difference. And the food! Whereas Christmas Day there was a lot of hearty traditional meat-based fare, on the other evenings there were amazing culinary creations, with creative combinations and foams and subtle flavors. It really made the dining unique and special and so tasty! There was a peppermint-tea cream for dessert one evening that was one of the best things I have ever tasted. There were lots of special touches here too: homemade jams and also interesting chutneys, to go with the delicious cheeses in the evenings. We enjoyed the indoor pool, the table tennis and billiards, or just sitting in the lounge playing cards. A short drive away is the Hohe Tauern national park, for a good winter walk for any non-skiers in the family, and the little town itself is a brief walk up the road. Our children are grown, but there was also a playroom for smaller kids and what looked to be a nice playground behind the hotel, though of course now covered with snow. All in all a wonderful and welcoming place to stay.
- tantone1 (10/5): Fantastic facility, family friendly and brilliant service - From the moment we arrived the staff were very helpful and friendly. We do not speak German, but they were patient with us and gave us good local advice. The family suite we stayed in was only renovated a few months ago and was very modern and clean. There was more than enough room for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids). The lovely family atmosphere combined well with the excellent quality 4 star facilities, food and service. We paid for half board which included full breakfasts, afternoon snacks and 5 course dinners every day. The quality of the food was amazing. The Hotel is a 10 minute walk from the main ski school area, but there is a free ski bus that stops right outside and the free ski locker area in the hotel was easy to access. This hotel exceeded our expectations and we would definitely return.
- benr380 (10/5): Great stay - We would like to say how great our stay was at the alpina. This hotel is fantastic in every way. We have stayed here twice now, with our most recent trip for 9 days. Travelled with our 2 young children and they loved it. The staff understand customer service, nothing is too much trouble. They are flexible over food with the children, but the nightly menu for children is very good. The rooms are cleaned to a high standard, with very good beds. The rooms have great views of the mountains with a good size balcony. They have lots of children's play equipment and 2 swimming pools, I would recommend for families. The hotel is a five minute walk to the town centre. We loved the hotel, the level of service and the food. The owners are present every day and Carmen showed us to our room, which rarely happens now days. Thanks for a great stay.
- Anetteeee (2/5): Unfriendly staff - We made our reservation at Booking.com. Under hotel rules it was stated that children are welcome and that there is no space for extra beds. There was nothing about any extra costs. We have two children and ALWAYS book hotels with these rules because our children sleep in our beds when we travel. The receptionist started to argue with me about that we would have to pay extra for the room when we had children with us. I explained that booking always states, under the rules, if extra costs are incurred when children sleep in existing beds and that they do not say anything about extra costs here. She went and called her boss and came back saying that it would cost 70 euros for the children. Then I said that we would book another hotel instead. After another call, she came back saying that we could all stay there this time if we paid for the children's breakfast. I had initially said that I understood that there could be extra charges for the children's breakfast so that would not be a problem. Then she began to talk about how small the rooms were. We have lived together in considerably much smaller rooms and beds than we stayed at here. We stayed in Germany the night before and in Italy the night after. Same hotel rules, NO problem. Just smiling and accommodating staff. We live in hotels at least three times a year and we travel a lot with our children. This is the first time this is a problem. During breakfast it hit me that none of the staff seemed happy to work here. No smiles and no happy faces at all (except a younger guy in the restaurant who was actually both smiling and very helpful). We intended to have dinner at the hotel but due to the unpleasant response from the receptionist we decided to have our dinner at a restaurant in the village instead. If we are going on a ski trip this winter, we would like to go to this village as the surroundings and nature were so cozy and beautiful. However, we will NEVER stay at this hotel again. The service is the most important thing for me! No hotel facilities or beautiful surroundings can ever make up for really poor service.
- LisaT453 (10/5): "Amazing" - Well what can I say !!! we (a family of three) have just returned from a skiing holiday and during this time stayed at the Alpina. From the lovely warm welcome from Carmen on arrival to leaving early Saturday morning after an amazing gala dinner Friday evening I cannot praise this hotel highly enough. Every member of staff from kitchen, waiters/tress to cleaning always had a greeting and smile and are a credit to the owners. The food was exquisite and plentiful. The hotel rooms and facilities i.e. swimming pool, sauna etc. well maintained and most enjoyable. One highlight of the week was the village torch light walk where you learned about the history of Rauris from Paula (owners daughter) finished off with a warming schnapps. Good organisation from Crystal (and our lovely rep Laura). The weather was perfect and I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone and cannot wait to return.
- 625colinf (10/5): Ski-ing holiday 7.1.17 - Really good family run hotel in a pretty village. My single room was quite roomy and had a balcony. All of the staff were friendly and efficient.The food (particularly the breakfast buffet) was excellent with three choices of main course at dinner. It was great to have a free apres ski snack after a day on the slopes. a free skii bus service ran every 30 minutes between the hotel and the two main access points to the ski area. Cleanliness and service were exceptional. I will definitely stay here again. The ski area is not enormous but offers a good variety and piste maintenance was also excellent. I would highly recommend a holiday in this resort, particularly staying at this hotel
- BaxDob (6/5): Booked via Crystal - We booked a week at the Alpina during our holiday in the end of December 2016 and beginning of January. Our most important criteria was sauna use in the hotel after busy day in the slop.We was completely disappointed and dissatisfied with hotel rules regarding sauna use.We all must go there naked.Dont me to be wrong we must accept they rules but Crystal must inform they customer about austrian sauna as we just forgot about it on the time of our booking. We dont like food and I think if we booked self cater accommodation its will be more healthy and tasty.
- ilovehotelbreaks (8/5): Booked through crystal - We booked a week at the Alpina during February half term. This was booked through crystal and included the beginners ski package. The hotel was lovely, very well kept and all staff friendly. Buffet breakfast included a range of cold options, some hot and coffee machine. Dinner choices were made in the morning, and we found them to be of a high quality. We never left hungry. Upon returning from the pistes, there was always some kind of food available (hot dogs as an example). The bar area offers a very chilled atmosphere and we relaxed there most evenings. The ski and boot room was accessed via a side door and had lots of space. Although, we hired a locker at the main gondola for around 38€ a week and enjoyed the 10-15minute walk there instead. If you would rather keep ski stuff at hotel, there is a bus stop right outside. Because the Alpina is one of the first stops, you're guaranteed to get on. We found Rauris a great resort for beginners. The teaching at the Karl Maiher ski school was great and we met some great people in our group. The Alpina offered a warm, friendly and comfortable base for us. We definitely recommend it!
- tappers1279 (8/5): Great location in a great village - A very smart family hotel in a beautiful village, not much visited by non-austrians - they've kept it quiet - what a great area surrounded by the mountains. Great rooms, balconies with views, very good service and outstanding food. A couple of negatives - sauna is nude and mixed - put the missus off and sadly the sauna was a main reason she chose it !! swimming-pools were a bit children noisy - put me off and the 2 pools (indoor and outdoor) were the main reason I chose it !!! Never mind - we had a great time walking from the hotel into the village and around.
- Richegirl (10/5): Skiing Trip - An extremely friendly family run hotel. The food is fantastic and the rooms spotlessly clean. We have stayed in this hotel for the last 6 years and have seen it transformed by the present owners. It is a jewel in Rauris's crown. The ski bus stops outside so no long treks carrying ski gear to the slopes. The chair lift is also close by if that is the side of the mountain you wish to ski on. I believe a new 10 person gondola is due to be built for the next ski season close by too. Carmen and Thomas are delightful hosts and the staff ever attentive.
- brydozcz (10/5): Excellent - We stayed here 5 nights at the end of March and had a great time. The food was great, friendly staff. The ski bus stops in front of the hotel but to walk to the main lift is not too demanding. Rauris is very nice to walk around. Highly recommended.
- LizhLondon (8/5): Goodfood and family friendly - Spent an end-of-season ski week here in room 120 on the first floor. All rooms have balconies. It's a lovely hotel with a big indoor pool, games room and play room for children. Buffet breakfast for all tastes and excellent and evening meal with plenty of choice plus a children's meal. Lovely bar and reasonably priced drinks. In fact the whole of Rauris is great value, except maybe the lift price considering there are only 35km of runs. But they do have over-60s and over-70s reductions. Hotel is level 12 minute walk to the old chairlift, toboggan run and a new bubble promised for 2016/17. Otherwise ski bus to main bubble and ski school every 30 mins outside door. 10 minute walk into middle of pretty village. Our room was good on hanging space but not enough shelves/drawers for layers, jumpers/t-shirts etc, hats, goggles, gloves that go with skiing. Table and two chairs in window.
- bigdog124 (10/5): Booking again for next year! - Booked this hotel through Crystal Ski for a skiing holiday with my girlfriend. We arrived at the hotel later than planned on the Saturday night but were warmly meet by Carmen and Thomas in the reception area. After checking into our rooms we were shown to the dinning area and given our table which is ours for the entire stay. Meals - These were really good, normally consisting of a salad buffet, a soup or small appetiser and then a choice of three main courses. The options were either a meat dish (Pork, Beef or Chicken), a fish dish or a vegetarian option. This was finished off with a delicious dessert which changed everyday but all were superb and a choice of cheese and biscuits was also available for those who wanted them. One word of warning is that the beef is served very rare. This was ok for myself but others including my girlfriend prefer the meat a bit more well done. At breakfast each morning the menu for that evening is left on your table and you selected what you wanted by highlighting your choice with the pens provided. Breakfast was a continental style with a great selection of breads, meats and cheeses also cereals, fruit and scrambled eggs. Drinks - The local beer was really good as you would expect from the Austrians, and also quite strong! Prices for the beer and wine were very reasonable varying between €3-3.50 Spirits were a bit more expensive at nearly €8 for a double vodka. You can book all your drinks to your room and then pay the bill at the end of your stay. We did this and the hotel kindly supplied a receipt each morning so you can easily keep track of what you are drinking...and spending! Rooms - We stayed in a standard double which was on the back of the hotel. The rooms are very warm and we found we had to sleep with the window open even though it was -5 degrees outside. We were never cold in any area of the hotel, in fact most of the time it was too hot. All the rooms have recently been refurbished and looked great. Everything was clean and tidy and the shower was brilliant especially after a long day on the slopes. There was a safe in the room which is very useful and also a hairdryer. Location - The hotel is on the outskirts of the town but as Rauris is quite small this is not a problem. The ski bus stops outside the front door of the hotel starting at 9am and then every 30 minutes from then on till approx 4.30pm. We walked each morning to the main ski lift on the other side of town and this only took 20 minutes or so. We found it helped ease our aching legs and warmed us up for that day's skiing. On the way back to the hotel there are several little bars for a quick apré ski drink or two which helps relieve any strains. We are already booking this hotel again for next year as the facilities, rooms, food and staff were amazing.
- Rosieps (10/5): Amazing Alpina hotel. - Top-class accommodation, food, sleep quality, efficient service, spotlessly clean. Wonderful variety of food at meals. Fresh fruit, cold meats, etc. Very well-run, situated close to the ski areas. Friendly and helpful staff. Most comfortable hotel.
- PhilF711 (10/5): 6th time at the wonderful Alpina - This was our 7th time skiing in Rauris, having first stayed at another hotel at the opposite end of the village once, we found this wonderful hotel. There was then no chance of staying anywhere else. When we first went our children were 7, 11 and 14. They learnt with Karl Maier ski school and had a wonderful experience, having been to a French resort the previous year that didn't compare for quality and kindness to the children. This year we went with friends and just our 14 year old son, with both our girls now at University, we all skied together, the boys now being good skiers it was wonderful skiing for the 6 of us. The hotel offers everything you could want, great food, great staff ( a special thanks to Carmen who never seems to stop working, and her team). When we arrive it's now like going home, the welcome and relaxing atmosphere are second to none. The decor, having been renovated over the years is lovely, with many happy hours having been spent playing pool, table tennis and cards in the conservatory after long days on the slopes, which are kept immaculately, along with the welcoming mountain restaurants. 2015 had been a tough year for us, with my wife of 48 having a totally un-expected heart attack in late September, as she didn't have any of the normal factors. This nearly stopped us going, until her surgeon gave her the all clear. I'm so pleased we went, as to miss a year would have been disappointing. She skied as normal and had a wonderful and confidence boosting week. We skied all the runs many times with our favourite being the long red back close to the hotel on the Kreuzboden side. Our son may go with the school next year to be with his friends, however, we're already thinking of going on just an adults trip back to the Alpina, all being well, if so, we can't wait!! Thanks again for all the memories- Hotel Alpina, Rauris and all the friends we've made there over the years!
