It's a good 300 - 400m due east of the Kepinski, ie to the left as you look up the mountain.

Snap!!!

We are doing the same this year. Stayed at the Kempinski last year, but met up with people staying at the Lion. It was a nice hotel, and is €500 cheaper than staying at the Kempinski this year.

The Lion, as said above, is at the top of the town about 400m from the Kempinski. It is close to JJ Murphy's where we seemed to spend a bit of time last year!!

JJ Murphys have a half price Happy Hour 5-6pm each day. A pint Of Lager for less than a £...!!!! Sounds good for Apres Ski.. ...

We stayed there last year and are going out to the Emerald tommorrow. There is a shuttle bus but most morning we walked & it took about 10-15mins. The hotel is great and we would have stayed again this year but wanted the extra lie-in in the mornings!
