The boutique hotel Kristiania at the foot of Omeshorn is among the “Small Luxury Hotels of the World.” Founded by Othmar Schneider, the slalom champion at the 1952 Olympics in Oslo, its philosophy is "living with art.” Today, the hotel is lovingly run by his stylish daughter Gertrud. In addition to vacationing at a private museum, the hostess has a few other tricks up her sleeve: a ski butler, private treatments at the in-room spa, picnics or breakfast in the snow and a helicopter flight over the mountain peaks make for an unforgettable stay.
