Nick-o, I have but a long time ago. The ones we were in (two different haus in two different weeks) were OK for the money and we booked late. One was about ten/fifteen minutes walk from the centre, no bus, not en suite rooms, and run by one lady who wouldn't see 70 again. The other was about 5 minutes walk, also not en suite, and run by two 20-somethings emplyed by Thomson. It's a bit hit and miss, I think, but in general they are B & B guest houses, without facilities or fripperies. If you are OK with that, happy to walk a bit, and the price is OK......

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Alternatively, if you mean the ice bar and "hotel" on the Ahorn, we visited last year for a hot chocolate, and were very impressed with the bar area and the public spaces. The rooms were separate from the bar, each looking like a hobbit hole in a mound of snow, so we didn't see inside them, but the public space has a mock-up of a room, and it looked very nice. The sculpture and carving inside the rooms was to a very high standard, and they had great lighting and sound as well.
The only problem with the bar was they didn't sell hot drinks... lots of expensive cocktails, but no coffee or hot chocolate. There's an alm about 100 metres away which provides full services.
Distance from the lift to the rooms was about 200 yards - no doubt they'd transport you and your luggage by skidoo, as this is on a shallow slope, and across the piste.

As Anniepen, says B & B guest houses
We have used them in the summer (not called snowhouses in the summer)
I cant remember the name but it was a bit of a walk to the centre of the village
Quality was good for what we payed
Obviously no saunas or steam rooms etc though
