Irmgard & Karl Wiener – Management, Hosts
job@edelweiss-arlberg.at
Our main role in winter is, of course, that of hosts, and together with Ingo, the Flamingo, we take care of our employees' concerns.
Karl is the primary contact person for the entire F&B sector, which grows larger at Edelweiss each year. With his proven hands-on mentality, he appears wherever guests and staff appreciate an extra hand. He also coordinates all technical and structural matters, and when he needs a change, you can find him as the DJ (P)resident at Zürserl.
Irmgard takes care of the Rooms Division and paperwork - accounting, payroll, invoicing, contracts, agreements, purchasing & selling. And to ensure that creativity doesn't fall short, she also handles marketing.
We have been working together for 28 years now, more than 20 of which have been at Arlberg. Our paths crossed in Kühtai. Together, we have successfully filled many hotels, introduced unconventional ideas, and transformed them.
Back then, at Tannbergerhof, you had to queue to get into the disco, Warth and Steffisalp were still quite distant without ski connections, and the legendary Hotel Flexen in Zürs was even demolished after us 😉 So, we can claim that our experiences range from pre-opening to demolition.
Irmgard brings many years of experience as a consultant and trainer at the renowned tourism consultancy Kohl & Partner, and 6 years of self-employment in the gastronomy sector. Karl learned the hotel trade from scratch and gained international experience after successfully completing hotel management school, later experiencing corporate life as Head of Operations at Swarovski in Innsbruck.

Yvonne Leuchtenberger - Restaurant Manager
service@edelweiss-arlberg.at
After a season as a deputy, it quickly became apparent that Yvonne was a bit under-challenged in this role. She is an industry expert, and there is almost no service topic in which she does not have extensive knowledge and experience. And she handles everything very calmly. In the summer, you can find her by the lake, more specifically at Lake Schladitz.

In winter, he is back at Edelweiss.
