We were in seacrh for the perfect resort that caters for both non-skiers and those that ski & board.
The non-skiers gave the resort a big thumbs up. Plenty to do. Lots of walking, plenty of shops and restaurants, and there is also a fantastic pool complex in the middle of town for all the family.
For the skiers and boarders the experience was ok. For beginners, it is very limited. For the intermediates there is plenty to practice on. For the advanced, it was also limited. There are two main areas including the Classic ski area and the Zugspitz. The latter is high and the snow good, but too many drag lifts. Beware if you are a boarder! Otherwise, both ski areas can be covered in a couple of days.
The hotel however is superb. We had a suite for two families. Ample room! The hotel food was excellent, especially the breakfast. The evening meals were also top quality and we didn't feel the need to eat anywhere else. The hotel has a fantastic facilities including tennis courts, spa facilities (too expensive for my liking) and a pool (which unfortunately was out of order the week we were there!!) Also, the hotel is not more than an hour and bit from Munich on a very direct route.
Overall, it is a great location (and I imagine it will be perfect in the summer with access to many tourist resorts in Bavaria) but not the ideal resort we are looking for as a winter location, mainly due to the limited options on the mountains. The search for the ideal location continues, but you wont be unhappy with the Dorint.
