Petit Resort Hotel Der Barte

“Les propriétaires ont manifestement ont une passion pour l'hospitalité”

Nous n'avons pas réalisé lorsque nous nooked que cet hôtel était littéralement sur la piste de ski !

Nous n'avons pas réalisé lorsque nous nooked que cet hôtel était littéralement sur la piste de ski ! Donc, quand le chauffeur de taxi nous a déposé à Jupeer (bâtiment de billet de ski ) et nous a dit que nous avons besoin de marcher jusqu'au sommet de la colline de ski nous avons pensé qu'il était confus. Cependant, nous avons eu le personnel amical à Jupeer à appeler les propriétaires et l'homme est venu en bas immédiatement avec un traîneau pour nous aider à nous rendre nos bagages à l'hôtel. C'était une expérience amusante que vous n'avez pas beaucoup d'autres endroits. Dès l'instant où nous sommes entrés, nous avons trouvé que c'était très accueillant ... confortable et propre. Notre chambre double (10 A) était spacieuse avec notre propre douche et des toilettes. Il y a un bain à remous sur le niveau suivant jusqu'à tous les clients d'utiliser tout au long de la journée et de la nuit. Les lits n'étaient pas très confortables mais nous étions bien au chaud. Le bruit des canons à neige dehors pendant la nuit était bruyant mais je n'ai pas durer éternellement. Nous avons essayé d'acheter notre propre nourriture en bas au Mart en famille à économiser de l'argent que la nourriture était un peu au dessus de notre budget ici. Cependant, il est de bonne qualité et très délicieux dans leur restaurant mais juste un peu cher que nous le pensions. Il n'y avait pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre mais nous avons pendu notre sac plastique avec du lait et d'autres choses froids par la fenêtre pour garder la fraîcheur. Le seul vrai problème c'avec emplacement dans cette matière à acheter votre propre nourriture est à 20 minutes à pied pour aller à l'épicerie du coin. Se rendre aux remontées mécaniques était super facile ! Aller sur le casier à ski, mettre sur votre équipement, faites quelques pas de la porte, puis toboggan en bas de l'ascenseur. C'est l'une des meilleures parties de cet hôtel. L'autre meilleure qualité est les propriétaires qui sont toujours souriants et jamais trop loin pour vous aider ! Ils assurent un excellent hôtel dans un bon emplacement.

“ski in ski out”

Getting there was the hardest part. Once you get to Jupeer (where there is food and ski equipment rentals), take the escalator to the second floor.

Getting there was the hardest part. Once you get to Jupeer (where there is food and ski equipment rentals), take the escalator to the second floor. Then from the exit on the second floor, you have to take your luggage trudging through snow, uphill, for about 100 meters. But that was the only hard part. Once we arrived, everything was great. At checkin, the host introduced us to everything, from meals and baths to the Zao area map and the ropeway tickets. At checkout, the host helped us move our luggage downhill to Jupeer. They own a good restaurant which opens till 10pm. We had breakfast there every morning and dinner there was a convenient choice because going out for food at night was a cold option. The nearest place to get food was at least a 15 minute walk away. This hotel was cozy and warm. The location was perfect for ski-in-ski-out, and the dry room was great. They also had a bath in the hotel, which was shared by all the tenent. They had a reservation system for the bath, where we could write down our room number on a whiteboard where there was a vacant spot. I used the bath for shower every night. It was much bigger than the bathroom in our room. Our room was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable, and the heater was a lifesaver. It was quiet and we could watch the skiers right from our window. Wifi was okay. There did not provide daily housekeeping as this was more of a B&B. There was no refrigerator but I think the host can refrigerate food for the guests if needed. Yes, I would stay here again, for the ski-in-ski-out location and hospitality. Maybe check if they can help with the luggage next time.

“Very hospitable stay - true ski-in, ski-out”

A very enjoyable and convenient stay. Right on the edge of the run, just 100 m up from the Jupeer Centre. What to expect: - Very hospitable hosts.

A very enjoyable and convenient stay. Right on the edge of the run, just 100 m up from the Jupeer Centre. What to expect: - Very hospitable hosts. Musasi and Yuko really looked after us well, with great spirit. Went the extra mile to ensure we got to and from the bus station with a minimum of fuss. - Good bathroom facilities (shared) with lots of hot water. - A Western lunch and dinner menu, cooked very well. Might have been nice to have a few Japanese options, but these are available a short walk away. - Basic English. Adequate for most interactions, but we used Google translate to confirm key messages (travel details) were clearly understood. What not to expect: - Rooms serviced regularly (i.e. towels and sheet changes). Not a problem for me - we don’t do this daily at home! - Big, fluffy towels. The towels provided were adequate but small. They did dry well in the room each day. All up, a great stay, with excellent snow and skiing conditions.

“lovely people, ski in, ski out, way overpriced”

This hotel has an excellent location as it's a ski in ski out. The breakfasts were very nice with piped classical music and lovely older couple running the place. There are Swiss, Austrian decorations everywhere and you can imagine the decor hasn't changed much in 40 years. The property description said that breakfast was included which is true and evening meals are provided too, at a cost though and there are much cheaper and better options in Zao town. The bed was as hard as a rock, seriously, for the price just wrong. The hot water system took awhile to crank up in the morning but was ok. Internet wifi was free but had no password and didn't work very well in the rooms. The rooms were warm and the drying room was nice and warm too, not every ski lodge does that. For the price charged I would not recommend this lodge unless it was a short stay and you were desperate for an on mountain ski in ski out stay. Look further.

“All good except winter access”

Once you get to Der Barte it is all quite good. The perfect ski in ski out access is why we chose Der Barte.

Once you get to Der Barte it is all quite good. The perfect ski in ski out access is why we chose Der Barte. You get comfy rooms and beds, good breakfast (traditional mixed with western), good bath and friendly and attentive service. Hosts English language was somewhat problematical, but far better than our Japanese:) so enough comms to get by with. The average rating is based entirely on the poor access to the hotel. In winter you have a 100 metre uphill walk through the snow with all baggage/skis apart from what can fit on the hand driven cart which maybe fits a bag or 2 and the host comes down the hill with it. You are all on your own at checkout though with all your baggage having to be lugged down through the snow. Also the main front entrance is closed in Winter (guessing too much shovelling) and they use a hobbit like entrance through the boot/ski room, Parking the hire car was pure guesswork and over the first 2 days we were asked to move it twice from the car parks near the Jupeer. The hotels car park is inaccessible during winter unless you have the best of 4wd's available and skills to match. We ended up using the day car park a further 100m down the road at 1,000 yen/day and they didn't seem to mind us leaving it overnight.
