Additionally, the two hotels share several restaurants~ among them, the Scalini Italian restaurant at Pik Palace is very good, with great flavors and generous portions! The fried veal cutlet is so big that two people can't finish it. We stayed in a refined suite at Pik Palace, with a living room balcony that opens up to the magnificent snow-capped mountains and ski slopes. Downstairs, there are two swimming pools, indoor and outdoor~ the steaming outdoor pool faces the snow mountains, which is incredibly beautiful! After staying for a few days, I couldn't help but exclaim! I've really discovered a treasure of a hotel!
