Edelweiss Lodge and Resort- Christmas 2008

For Christmas, Jason and I headed down to Garmisch...and of course we stayed at Edelweiss (the military lodge and resort). We were looking for a low-key get away...and this was the perfect place to spend it! So, even though we thought our October trip to Garmisch was the last one, it wasn't!


After 6 years of European hotels, it is nice to have a REAL American hotel! It has all the amenities us spoiled Americans expect.

You can't tell for the clouds in this picture, but it truly is nestled in the Alps.



Whoever designed the lodge did an amazing job. It has the best ambiance. And they outdid themselves with the Christmas decorations too.

This was the view from our balcony.

These are views from the common balcony on the 2nd floor.

The steam you see on the right side of the picture below is coming from the outdoor hot tub. Yep, we braved it...in 20 degree weather. And it was tons of fun, especially when it started snowing WHILE we were in the hot tub.
So, basically this was a free advertisement for Edelweiss. But it's worth it because we have enjoyed every one of our stays there!
