Five Things to Know About Vail’s Iconic One-MICHELIN-Key Chalet

"On a bustling corner in downtown Vail Village, I found the Sonnenalp Hotel, the picture of a cozy chalet with an oxblood red roof steeply pitched like a mountain ridgeline and an army of chimneys poking through across its length. More than a Hallmark doppelgänger, this One-MICHELIN-key resort feels like an authentic Bavarian embassy with a view of the Rockies, kept through generations by a German family. In winter there’s nowhere warmer to recover from a day in the mountains, and come summer the Sonnenalp makes for a one-of-a-kind experience too, which helps explain why it’s a MICHELIN favorite." - The MICHELIN Guide
