Check your plane ticket: Sonnenalp Hotel is located just outside of Vail Village, but the décor may make you think you landed in Germany instead. The four-generations-old ski lodge excels at creating a cozy, comfortable environment for guests returning from a day on the slopes (the lodge enjoys exclusive access to the ski concierge at Gondola 1) – rooms are decked out in old-school plaid, with custom-made Bavarian furniture, gas log fireplaces, and heated marble floors. Biomat can be added to a range of massage treatments to soothe sore muscles with far infrared heat and prepare the body for the next day's fresh powder.

I got married at the Sonnenalp about a month ago, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the moment we started planning until the end of our wedding weekend, Maggie and her team went above and beyond to make everything seamless. Maggie was an absolute joy to work with! She's kind, responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. She made the entire planning process feel so much less stressful, and I always felt like we were in great hands. It truly was the best week of our lives, and we are so grateful to everyone at the Sonnenalp for making it so unforgettable! The Sonnenalp itself is absolutely beautiful. We stay here every time we come to Vail. Every member of the staff is so warm, welcoming, and accommodating to us. Cannot recommend it enough!

Just returned from a fabulous family trip for a week at the Sonnenalp Vail. There were 4 adults and a 6 month old baby in our group. The Sonnenalp is 5 star in all aspects. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The facilities and rooms were wonderful. The location can't be beat. We enjoyed starting our day at Ludwig's breakfast. Most days our server was Smara, whose cheerfulness and helpfulness ensured a great start to the day.

There is no place else to consider in Vail - The Sonnenalp is pure class and old world. The facilities are beautiful - with the river running right next to the pool -

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, our hotel wedding coordinator made the entire planning process feel organized, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. She was incredibly responsive, detail-oriented, and always one step ahead, making sure every question and request was handled quickly. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. She coordinated with vendors, kept the timeline on track, and made sure every detail was exactly as we envisioned, allowing us to relax and actually enjoy the day with our family and friends. We never had to worry about a thing. The hotel itself was beautiful, and the service from the staff exceeded our expectations, but our coordinator was truly the reason everything came together so perfectly. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication made all the difference. If you’re considering hosting your wedding here, we can’t recommend it highly enough. Our day was absolutely perfect, and we’re so grateful for everything she did to make it that way. Thank you for helping create memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives!
