Bus Travel Description

When it smells of gingerbread and cinnamon in the house, the fire flickers in the fireplace and the snow covers the valley, Christmas is not far away. A dreamlike winter landscape and the in-house nativity scene at Hotel Lavendel create a very special atmosphere. Here Advent is a unique experience.
