We have just returned from our ski holiday – staying at the Eiger Chalet for the first time and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had seen the Eiger during previous visits to Perisher so we were happy with the location. You can ski from the front down over the bridge to the lifts.
Our first impression on entering the premises was its cleanliness and high degree of maintenance. I suspect it had been freshly painted and the carpets were spotless.
We received a very friendly greeting after a phone call and prompt over snow pick up.
We booked a standard double room and while we did find the room very clean and adequate for a ski holiday, the bed was a tad small (double –as stated, not queen size as expected) which did take a couple of nights to get used to. I would suggest when you book, confirm the bed size or request a twin room.
The White Spider Restaurant served a delicious breakfast each morning with a selection of cereals, fruit and a lovely cooked buffet.
The evening meals were, mostly, very nice and again the staff were very friendly and helpful. Some of the dishes were a little over flavored (Tandoori Salmon) - but others, like the Smoked Trout Soufflé was one I could eat every night. The restaurant is operating separately to the lodge so I urge you to settle your Bar Tab each night and not at the end of you stay as it is very hard to keep tabs on as there was no dated account. We found 2 bottles of the same wine were a substantially different in price and our bar tab was double that of our friends with whom we took turns in buying rounds and dinner wines. I am sure they will rectify this situation.
Pros: Delightful, friendly staff. Cleanliness. Location. Lounge/Activity room. Bar/Restaurant.
Cons: None that would stop us from returning next year.
