Edelweiss Lodge and Resort expands availability to all eligible guests within Europe!

 

The Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch, Germany, is now accepting reservations from eligible service members and other authorized guests stationed within Europe. Guests stationed outside of Germany can begin to stay at the Resort starting 6 July. Edelweiss Lodge and Resort has been open since June 15th, initially, opening only for those stationed in Germany and with 50% maximum occupancy.

 

This expanded authorization does not include travelers arriving direct from the United States at this time. Resort operators plan to expand eligibility to all authorized guests as soon as conditions related to COVID-19 permit. The priority is reopening with health and safety at the center of operations, said officials with the Armed Forces Recreation Center Resorts, which operates the facility. Edelweiss Resort is required to follow host nation and military guidelines and will continue to monitor the situation for potential changes.

 

Upon reopening, some of the normal amenities and vacation services will be limited. Glass partitions have been installed at the front desk and key locations. Hand-sanitizer stations have been installed at all entrances and restaurants. Appropriate protective equipment has been provided to employees, and the staff have been trained on the new standards and expectations related to hygiene, cleanliness, social distancing and safety. Limited housekeeping services will be available on a daily basis.

 

Guests will be asked to bring their own masks for use in common areas and observe physical distancing guidelines. Officials also recommend that guests make purchases with a credit card or charge to their room to reduce cash transactions.

 

“After nearly three months being closed, it is great to finally be able see guests come through our doors again ,” said Brian Borda, general manager of Edelweiss Lodge and Resort.

 

“I am confident that our guests will be able to enjoy a relaxing vacation knowing we are doing everything to create an environment that puts health and safety at the front of everything we do,” Borda said. For the most recent information, visit EdelweissLodgeandResort.com.
