Hotel Die Sonne

The 4-star superior Hotel Die Sonne is one of the best value all-inclusive options in Saalbach Hinterglemm, with flights from Dublin making this popular Austrian ski resort easy to reach. The hotel is family-run and sits in a quiet, sunny position between Saalbach and Hinterglemm in the Glemm Valley. The all-inclusive package covers everything from breakfast through to midnight drinks, including five-course dinners built around regional produce, themed evenings, cocktails, Austrian wines, local spirits and freshly squeezed juices. Vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options are available throughout. When every meal and drink is already taken care of, a ski holiday becomes genuinely stress-free and the value is hard to beat.

The hotel sits approximately 900m from Saalbach village centre, with a bus stop right at the door and a downhill ski slope running alongside the hotel in winter. A complimentary Super Sonne shuttle service runs throughout the day, taking guests directly to the four main lift stations, the ski school and key points around the resort. From there you have the full Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn to explore, with 270km of pistes and 70 lifts across one of Austria's largest interconnected ski areas.

Rooms are available in modern or traditional alpine style, and all feature balconies, some with mountain views, flat-screen satellite TV, seating area, free Wi-Fi and soundproofing. Family rooms with separate living and sleeping areas are available for those who need extra space. The hotel is particularly well set up for families, with a Sonne Mini Club offering childcare from age 2 in winter, up to six days a week including some evenings. That is a real bonus for parents looking to make the most of the skiing or enjoy a quiet dinner together.

The wellness offering is split across two areas, which works well for families. The Sonnenhaus is an adults-only zone for guests aged 15 and over, featuring a Finnish sauna, high-seat sauna, infrared cabin, brine steam bath, sanarium and a relaxation area with waterbeds. The Sonnenoase is the family-friendly area, with an indoor pool, infrared family island and a heated outdoor whirlpool with mountain views. A Zirben Spa offers Thai massages and beauty treatments for an additional charge, and there is a TechnoGym gym and yoga sessions on the weekly programme. Other facilities include a lounge with fireplace and ski storage.
