- "We arrived when it was beginning to snow at the top of the mountain... the ride up was a little chilly but thankful for the covered lift. The hotel was quiet but probably because no one was up there at that time due to the later hour and no visibility. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was pleasant. Woke up early the next morning and hiked to the other lift and rode down. Our stay was great." - "I’m still dreaming about this place..The views were out of this world, the staff was amazing and the food was delicious. But seriously the Views! I’ve stayed at a lot of amazing places but this stay was one of my absolute favorites. Having the mountain to yourself after the chair lifts stop for the night was perfection and waking up to a gorgeous sunrise and an insane cloud inversion was icing on the cake. I cannot wait to book this place again."

- "The hotel is beautiful, the breakfast was delicious and healthy and the staff was amazing and very helpful." - "We love the bed sooo much." - "We were so happy with our choice to stay in at Hotel Vitznauerhof on the waterfront of Lake Luzern. The property and the room were spectacular. We did not know what to expect since we had never stayed on Luzern. The balcony view of the lake was breathtaking and just perfect. The staff was really great from check in to check out. We had options for activities such as boat rides and Spa. The hotel is not only in a great waterfront location, but a two minute walk to the ferry dock, which services most of the waterfront towns from Vitznau to Lucern and the main train station at Lake Luzern. The restaurant was also very good!"

- "Clean and comfy rooms, we booked a sledging tour with the huskies and loved it ! Good guidance by the team for beginners like us." - "Really cosy place - clean rooms, good food. We really enjoyed our stay. Location is perfect and the place has climat." - "Location, beautiful logcabins, awesome dogs. There was a.coffee machine and kettle in the corridor which wasn't there the last time we were at the lodge, this was very nice to have. The staff doing the snow shoe walk with us tried their best to speak English and we were able to understand each other. They were super friendly and work so well with the huskies. The staff picked us up at the nearest bus stop which helped a lot so that we didn't have to walk from town with our suitcases."
