As the entire resort is pedestrianised, an array of small boutiques as well as designer brands stores have sprung up along the main shopping street, the Bahnhofstrasse, which runs up the valley from the train station. Gluhwein lends an aromatic smell and a warming sensation for an evening amble under warm layers. Horse carriages are available as well as electric taxi and shuttle services.
The shuttle journey from Tasch, where all cars are parked, only increases the sense of anticipation as you arrive at this incredible resort.
