Irmgard & Karl Wiener - Management, Hosts
job@edelweiss-arlberg.at
Our main role in winter is of course that of host and together with Ingo, the flamingo, we look after the concerns of our employees.
Karl is the first point of contact for the entire F&B area, which is getting bigger every year at the Edelweiss. With his proven hands-on mentality, he turns up wherever guests and staff are happy to have an extra hand. He also coordinates all technical and structural matters and when he needs a change, you can find him as DJ (P)resident in the Zürserl.
Irmgard takes care of the Rooms Division and the paperwork - bookkeeping, payroll accounting, invoicing, contracts, agreements. She also takes care of marketing so that the creative side is not neglected.
We have been working together for 28 years now, including more than 20 years on the Arlberg. Our paths crossed in Kühtai. Together, we have successfully filled many a hotel, introduced unconventional ideas and turned things upside down.
Back then, you still had to queue at the Tannbergerhof to get into the disco, nearby Warth and the Steffisalp were still a long way off without a ski connection and the legendary Hotel Flexen in Zürs was even demolished after us 😉 So we can say that our experience ranges from pre-opening to demolition.
Irmgard has been working in the hotel industry since graduating from high school and has many years of experience as a consultant and trainer as well as 6 years of self-employment in the catering industry. Karl learnt the hotel trade from the bottom up and gained experience abroad after successfully graduating from hotel management school, later getting a taste of corporate life as Head of Operations at Swarovski in Innsbruck.
Matias Paoli – Küchenchef
kueche@edelweiss-arlberg.at
Who supposedly grills the best big cuts? The Argentinians - so with TANO, our new EdelSPEIS is headed by an absolute professional. After 3 seasons as sous chef, he has now climbed the last rung on the career ladder and is taking over the management of the Edelweiss kitchen with immediate effect. Thanks to his professionalism, international experience and strong leadership skills, he is the perfect choice. And if music should ever come through the kitchen window: he is a gifted singer and guitar player who turns many a staff birthday party into a party.
