When we pulled up to the gate guard at Edelweiss a collective "WOW" was audible in our car. We were awe struck by the Alps surrounding Edelweiss. Giant, gorgeous, snow capped mountains with the American and German flags flying together in the valley where Edelweiss sits. Upon entering Edelweiss Lodge and Resort we immediately felt that we were transported to a German ski resort that was immaculately clean and welcoming.
