The Villa Strass is a great-value option if you want to save a little cash, without skimping on facilities. It’s part of the Sport & Spa Hotel Strass complex, so you’re able to use the main hotel’s pool and family sauna.
The location's great too, right next to the Penken gondola. In the morning, you can just grab your skis and boots from the boot room, hop on the lift and be on the slopes in no time.
Inside the hotel, things are simple and homely, with plenty of traditional Austrian charm. Many of the rooms have balconies, so you have some private space where you can enjoy the views.
When it comes to mealtimes, you’ll head across to the main hotel in the morning to fuel up with a hot and cold breakfast buffet.

Snow Promise
This operator is offering a new and improved Snow Promise which means they'll do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow while you're on holiday. Plus, when you book your holiday before 30 November 2023, you can now change your holiday fee-free if less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you're travelling to, due to lack of snow or no snow. Not forgetting the option to upgrade to the Snow Promise Extra for even more flexibility if the snow lets you down. Find out more below.
Before You Go On Holiday
If there's a lack of snow or no snow in the ski area you're travelling to, you can change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you depart. Just so you know, they'll use the live conditions in the 4 days before you go, not the forecast conditions for your arrival. For example, if you're travelling on a Saturday, you can change your holiday from the Tuesday to the Friday before, if on Tuesday there's a lack of snow or no snow. They’ll refund the difference if your new holiday is cheaper, or you’ll need to pay the difference if the new holiday costs more.

While You're On Holiday
Your tour operator will do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow. If you book your lift passes with the operator and less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area due to lack of snow or no snow, they'll do their best to arrange up to three days of skiing in an open resort within a 2-hour drive from the resort you're staying in. Their local team will organise the transport and your new lift pass will be paid for too, so all you have to do is hop on the coach. And even if you haven’t booked your lift passes with the operator, you can still use the coach for free.
In the worst-case scenario where they can't get you to another open resort if you booked ski school and/or lift passes with the operator, they'll refund you for any lessons that have been cancelled and you'll get your lift pass money back for any days you were unable to ski due to lack of snow or no snow.
This applies to all package holidays with this operator, even if you book the day before you travel.
