- Up to 3 months before the day of arrival – no cancellation fees

Cancellations for New Year’s Eve
Especially on New Year’s Eve, demand for places with us is particularly high.
To ensure we can offer all guests a wonderful celebration, we ask for your understanding
that a processing fee of €100.00 applies to every New Year’s Eve cancellation.
A deposit for New Year’s Eve bookings is due up to 6 months in advance;
should a cancellation occur, the cancellation conditions
take effect as usual up to 3 months in advance.
The processing fee of €100 will be retained from the deposit and also applies before the cancellation deadline.
Background: Unfortunately, it happens time and again that places are reserved “just in case” and later cancelled.
We therefore want to be fair and transparent:
- Every cancellation on New Year’s Eve is subject to a processing fee.
- This not only safeguards our planning, but also gives other guests the chance to secure a place with us in good time.
Thank you for your understanding – we look forward to celebrating the New Year with you!
Partner vouchers
Do you have a voucher from a voucher partnership?
Please note the following:
- Each voucher has its own voucher number.
Please provide this already when making your enquiry for the desired travel period.
As only a limited voucher quota is available, vouchers are only valid if they are referenced already at the time of enquiry. - A reservation with a partner voucher is only valid if the voucher is presented at reception on the day of arrival.
- Rebooking is not possible for bookings made with a partner voucher.
- In the event of cancellation of a booking made with a partner voucher, there are no cancellation fees.
However, the voucher automatically becomes invalid.
Can you borrow sledges / bicycles?
In summer, bicycles are available free of charge for young and old.
In winter, you can borrow free sledges from the hotel.
Do we need snow chains for travelling to Rauris?
In general, Rauris is very easy to reach and the roads are regularly cleared in winter. Nevertheless, we recommend bringing snow chains with you – simply as extra security, just in case. This way you are well prepared and can enjoy a relaxed journey – no matter how wintry it gets.
