5 star short break to Lech with bells and whistles on

Liz — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 10:35:50 +0000

The five-star Hotel Aurelio in Lech, Austria, begins this winter season with its exclusive offer: “Pure Luxury“ – a special three day package offering a helicopter transfer, two nights in an Aurelio Suite, a horse-drawn sleigh tour and Segway rides, from € 8,000 per couple.

Hotel Aurelio’s winter season starts this year on November 26 – and the Pure Luxury offer is perfectly timed to experience this stunning spa chalet found on the ski slopes of Lech. Guests will be picked up from Zurich or Munich airport by private helicopter, and upon arrival welcomed with a glass of ice-cold champagne before checking into one of the hotel’s huge Aurelio suites. In the evening, a five-course dinner at Aurelio’s, (the hotel restaurant) awaits, designed by Executive Chef, Christian Rescher, (renowned for spoiling guests with his internationally-acclaimed creations). The next day guests are picked up by their own private ski instructor to explore Lech’s slopes. For those who want pure relaxation, a soothing massage at the award-winning Aurelio spa is just one option to end an unforgettable day of active outdoor pursuits. The evening then turns romantic: tucked warmly into a horse drawn sleigh, guests can experience a winter wonderland by night – perfect to build an appetite for Aurelio’s special candle light fondue dinner, perhaps. On their final day guests are invited to try out a new winter sports experience: ride a Segway on snow and ice and explore the awesome winter scenery in a whole new way.

Price of the Hotel Aurelio Luxury Package for two guests, including all above services and ski pass, half-board, and accommodation in an Aurelio Suite: starts at € 8,000 – valid for stays from the middle of December to end of April, high season not included, subject to availability.

Sexism still rules for the St Moritz Cresta Run – Women not allowed!!

Liz — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:49:50 +0000

In this age of equality, there are very few things that women cannot do, but the rules of the privately-run St Moritz Toboggan Club, which oversees all activities relating to the Cresta Run, prevent them from the nerve-tingling sensation of hurling themselves down this world-famous ice run.

Luckily for all male adrenalin junkies over the age of 18 years of age, despite it being a private club, they can ride on non-race days (Saturdays, Sundays and one weekday during the season, which extends from just before Christmas until the end of February/early March, though it is dependent on weather conditions).

Probably the easiest way to get access to the ice run is to buy a Cresta Run Package from the Kulm Hotel St Moritz, which houses the Sunny Bar, home of the Cresta outside riding hours. The Cresta Run Package includes 3 nights’ B&B accommodation, fresh fruit and water changed daily in the room, lunch daily in the Sunny Bar and five rides on the Cresta Run during your stay, as well as tuition, equipment and a 25-minute massage, which should come in handy to soothe bumps and bruises!

Though ladies are not allowed to ride the Cresta Run, they are welcome to accompany partners who are and can purchase the same Cresta Run Package, with the Cresta element substituted for a CHF400 (approx £260) credit in the hotel’s stunning Panorama Spa (please note that the credit for the spa treatments cannot be reimbursed if it is not used in full).

The Cresta Run Package costs from CHF1480 (approx £960) and is valid from 9 January 2011 to 11 February 2011.

For further information on the Kulm Hotel St Moritz and its Cresta Run package, please visit www.kulmhotel-stmoritz.ch.
