It is also a good accommodation choice. The room is decorated in wooden tones, has a balcony, and the bathroom is dry and wet. separation. What was so amazing when I woke up in the morning was that it was a completely snow-white world. No matter which angle you took the photo from, it was super beautiful. The pure white snow would directly become the most natural lighting. There was originally a piece of grass behind the hotel, but after it snowed, it was all over. The snow, combined with the Alps covered with snow dotted by the sun, is so beautiful and refreshing, and someone even made a big snowman! ! I feel satisfied early this morning! !
