If you’ll savor fresh air and private outdoor time, a room with balcony elevates the alpine feel without changing what you already get in‑room: flatscreen-TV, phone, radio, hair dryer, safe, and free W‑LAN. If you’re mostly out adventuring, a non‑balcony room delivers the same core comfort and value.
