High Altitude

51 “What is average makes the world go round, but the unusual is what gives it its value.”Oscar Wilde, from whom this quotation stems, would certainly have liked Thurnher’s Alpenhof. Because from the start the hosts have continued to live according to the credo of Oskar Thurnher and have therefore seen it as their duty to provide the unusual. Dr. Beatrice Zarges, the owner of this prize-winning hotel, demonstrates a remarkable love of detail – and that applies equally to the interior design of the entire establishment and to the friendly and professional service. One of the most exclusive addresses in the Alps and a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, its traditional décor blends family antiques with modern art. Rooms are spacious, views are sublime and the cuisine is outstanding. Served in the wood-panelled restaurant, meals range from regional to international and the maitre d’hôtel excels in his selection of fine wines. Recreational amenities encompass a spa with Finnish sauna, Bio sauna, steam bath, massages and indoor heated swimming pool, small cinema and a special children’s entertainment programme. The unique services of an in-house ski instructor are complimentary; organising sleigh rides, torchlit hikes and guided ski excursions.
