Holidays in Corona times

We look forward to being there for you and welcoming you at Apparthotel Garni Nevada. Be assured that we will do everything we can to protect both your health and our employees and at the same time make sure that you will have a great vacation. We will continuously train our employees and implement all mandatory and recommended measures by the BAG (Federal Office of Public Health, Switzerland). We are happy to answer the most frequently asked questions about hotel stays during Corona times below. Please note that we reserve the right to adapt the measures to current requirements at any time. The Samnaun ski area has been open since December 11, 2020 and until further notice the offer on the Swiss side of the ski area will be in operation exclusively. When the ski area on the Austrian side will open again has not yet been determined.

Is the indoor pool and sauna area open?

The indoor pool, the sauna area as well as the fitness studio are open to hotel guests. According to the requirements of the BAG, the number of people is limited. But since our spa area is very spacious with over 1500m2, it is quite easy to keep your distance from other guests.

Are there massages and cosmetic treatments?

Under special protective measures we can offer you massages as well as all cosmetic treatments. For all treatments, our practitioners wear a face mask. Before and after each guest the hands as well as chairs and all materials are disinfected. Mouth and nose protection has been mandatory for guests here since October 17th. We are happy to have some ready.

Are the restaurants and bar open?

The half-board restaurant and the à la carte restaurant Bündner Stube including the sun terrace of our partner hotel Chalet Silvretta Hotel & Spa are open for our hotel guests until 11 p.m. at the latest. Due to the distance rules, we have slightly fewer tables than usual, so that we will use all of our restaurants for breakfast and dinner (including half board) if the booking situation makes this necessary. The hotel bar is also open to hotel guests, but we ask all guests to use the bar stools, it is not allowed to stand at the bar. Our hotel bar is also looked after by the employees of the restaurants, the distance rules also apply here. Overall, the ZEGG restaurants & hotel bars offer a large number of restaurant and bar spaces, which is why it is easy to keep the prescribed distance of 1.5 meters.

Are there any buffets?

Buffets are still allowed if they are recorded in a protection concept and appropriate measures are taken so that the hygiene and distance rules can be observed. We will continue to provide you with our generous breakfast buffet with mostly regional products. We will continuously reassess the situation and reserve the right to forego buffets if we can no longer guarantee the hygiene and distance rules. But rest assured that we will pamper you with culinary delights at any time and that we will pamper you with innovative and new ideas even without buffets. For the time being, we will not have salad buffets in the evening, but we will be happy to serve you salads at your table. Mouth and nose protection is mandatory for all guests in the restaurants and lounges except when sitting at the table and when consuming food and beverages.

How does the stay change in general? What do you have to consider as a guest?

We try everything to implement the measures accordingly, without us having to restrict you too much. We ask you to adhere to the hygiene and distance rules communicated in the hotel as well as the obligation to wear a mask in publicly accessible interiors for people aged 12 and over in order to protect your and our health. Please wash and disinfect your hands regularly and keep a distance of 1.5 meters from people who do not live in your household. Please understand that some services have been adjusted a little to avoid unnecessary contacts. We will inform you about the current measures and whether you have anything to consider when you check-in.

Is there a mask requirement for guests?

Yes! At the moment there is a mask requirement in all indoor areas for guests and employees. We ask you to keep a distance of 1.5 meters from other guests and our employees or to keep close contacts short. Masks are required on public transport, including on the cable cars.

Are there any restrictions in the environment that have to be considered?

There are few restrictions in Samnaun itself. A partial lockdown has been in effect for the shops since January 18, 2021. This excludes the rental of sports equipment and the purchase of accessories such as ski underwear, gloves or helmets. Food, cosmetics, alcohol and tobacco can also be sold. The ZEGG stores also offer a CALL & COLLECT service. Perhaps it will be winter 2020/21 of all things, when you ideally retreat to the diverse and extensive nature of the Grisons mountains. Since Samnaun takes up around 30% of the slope area in the Silvretta Arena, but only a maximum of 15% of the guests from the Swiss side reach the ski area, there is twice as much space for skiing!
