The Best Ski Resorts in Europe for an Under-the-Radar Getaway | Vogue

"This Small Luxury Hotels of the World property in Balderschwang, with its wood-clad houses framed by towering peaks of the Allgäu, offers an alpine vibe that’s both minimalist and cozy. The property sits in a high valley of the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park and is hugged by meadows and forests. Inside, it gets even more dazzling: a 4,500-square-meter Mountain Spring Spa with an infinity pool facing the mountains, an Alpine Zen garden, various sauna areas, a Japanese onsen pool, and exclusive spaces for massages and Ayurvedic treatments. The hotel’s culinary concept highlights local plant and animal products, with seasonal dishes built from ‘slow food’ ingredients." - Chadner Navarro, Nicole Kliest
