My stay at the Khyber was quite memorable, thanks to its stunning views and attentive staff. The location near the gondola and amidst breathtaking pine trees is perfect for enjoying the snowy landscape. The rooms, however, left something to be desired, as ours was on the ground floor and didn't provide the comfort I was hoping for. Dining was another highlight with excellent breakfast options, though dinner was a bit pricey for what it offered.
