Since 1856, the Edelweiss has stood up there in Zürs at Arlberg. Deep-snow winters, long nights, and people who keep coming back. A hotel that never wanted to be prim and proper. Rather a little unconventional. With character, stories, and that hard-to-explain pull that some places simply have. With champagne after the last turn. With evenings that run later than planned. And with rooms you fall for faster than you’d expect.
But first things first. Almost 50 years ago, rooms and suites—which we affectionately call “Spielräume” (playrooms)—were conceived with a rather unconventional twist. Created for travelers who long for a ski vacation and living that fits like a tailored suit. Those who find “off-the-shelf” holidays simply don’t suit them. These playrooms were created for those looking for extraordinary hotels. World-traveling artists, individualists, and designers have brought a high degree of personal touch to the house. To your house. In Zürs. At Arlberg. In Vorarlberg.
Collected from all kinds of possible and impossible corners of the world. Brought together into smooth, total works of art. Living spaces that are hard to put into words. Because they can hardly be compared to anything familiar. And that’s a good thing. Colourful joie de vivre, surprising statements by a house, by an artist—just as special as Arlberg itself. And the Edelweiss ski hotel anyway. PS: almost forgot: you can sleep in them wonderfully too. Especially well. Especially deeply. And that’s what it’s all about in the end, after all the eye candy described above.
But now just click your way into this carefree world of your ski holiday.
