Kristiana has a homely, low-key atmosphere, and the interiors feature traditional Austrian decor complemented by antiques and contemporary art. Each of the 29 rooms and suites has been decorated with an exceptional eye for detail to give you the perfect environment to relax in post-piste.

The Kristiania's many amenities include a sun terrace and a health club with sauna and Jacuzzi. In-room spa treatments and massages are also available, and the hotel can organise a personal ski instructor. The restaurant is renowned for its top class Austrian cuisine and outstanding wine list, and there is a cosy bar. Extra services range from daily delivery of international newspapers to a pet-care service, should guests want to bring their canine friends with them.

The hotel is very child-friendly, providing baby-sitters, and young guests can take their pick from a selection of games and a DVD library of children's films. They also offer a ski nanny who drops off and picks up children from ski school.
