Alpine Escapes: Four Distinctive Hotels, One Shared Spirit of Excellence
These exceptional properties in Switzerland, Austria and South Tyrol embody the best of alpine hospitality: world-class wellness, fine dining, family warmth and unrivalled access to the mountains. Each has its own character, but all share a dedication to detail and a promise of unforgettable stays.
From high-altitude hideaways to lakeside family havens, each of these four properties offers a distinct interpretation of alpine luxury. Together, they showcase the diversity of the region — whether your priority is wellness, gastronomy, winter sport or family adventure — and provide a perfect base from which to savour the mountains in style.
Chasa Montana: Samnaun’s jewel
Chasa Montana is the only five-star superior hotel in Samnaun, and since 2014 a proud member of Relais & Châteaux. At 1,850 metres in the Silvretta arena, it’s a dream base for skiing, hiking and cycling. Guests can choose between elegant rooms and suites, dine at three restaurants — including Michelin-starred Gourmet Stübli La Miranda — and explore a cellar of 1,500 wines or a rare whisky lounge. The 1,500sqm Montana SPA offers saunas, pools and beauty treatments, while the Zegg family adds seamless touches from ski school to boutique shopping in the village’s duty-free enclave.
Das Gerstl: a family retreat in South Tyrol
Overlooking Lake Reschen in Vinschgau, Das Gerstl is South Tyrol’s first family hotel by the water — a retreat where generations gather. Children thrive in GERSTI’s Kids World aqua fun park, petting zoo and climbing walls, while adults savour the Venosta Spa, ski tours and winter strolls as well as the family sauna. Built in sustainable timber, the 65 suites embrace both design and responsibility, with a philosophy rooted in mindfulness and local sourcing. Above all, it is a place of connection, where families share laughter, discovery and memories in an environment that feels authentic, heartfelt and restorative.
Hochfirst: alpine luxury at 1,930m
In the Tyrolean Ötztal, the Luxury Mountain Resort Hochfirst is famed for ski-in, ski-out access to one of the Alps’ most snow- sure regions. The 1,500sqm Alpen spa is its beating heart, with panoramic pools and exclusive Japanese Sensai treatments that set new standards in indulgence. With its heritage of elegance and its breathtaking location, Hochfirst captures the essence of alpine winter: exhilaration on the slopes, deep relaxation in the spa, and an atmosphere of cultivated comfort. Exciting news for them is the Ski Opening on the 20th of November with exclusive experiences to celebrate the start of ski season.
Cervosa: an exclusive mountain escape
In Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, the Gourmet & Spa Resort Cervosa balances modern design with timeless comfort. The Westreicher family has created a haven defined by warmth and elegance, where every guest feels at home. Its 3,000sqm spa is a sanctuary of saunas, steam baths and infinity pools overlooking the peaks. Days end with fine dining that celebrates flavour and finesse, enjoyed in inviting, stylish surroundings.
