Our take
Berghotel Blaickner's Sonnalm is the Zell am See pick for families who want to ski from the door rather than queue for a bus. Family rooms look out at the mountains, and the wellness area is compact, with a steam room and a hot tub. Evenings centre on the outdoor fireplace, the sun terrace and a restaurant serving traditional Austrian food. The 9.5 score is excellent, though it rests on only 21 reviews. I would book it for the mountain setting and simple pleasures, not for a large spa.
- Make the most of the ski-to-door access to be first on the slopes each morning
- Unwind in the hot tub or steam room after your last run of the day
- Enjoy a meal at the traditional restaurant to sample local Austrian dishes

Why guests love itSkiing right to the door was a dream with kids, no carrying skis or waiting for buses. Our family room had mountain views that the children woke up excited about each morning. Afternoons on the sun terrace turned into evenings around the outdoor fireplace, which felt magical in the snow. The wellness area with a steam room and hot tub eased our legs, and the traditional Austrian restaurant served hearty, comforting food.
