Thurnher’s Alpenhof – Zurs am Arlberg – 5  Star

Arrive instead of simply checking in. Feel at ease instead of just “being on holiday”, knowing that you are in the best possible hands if you want to make sure your wishes come true. In Thurnher’s Alpenhof, your home in the mountains, all this is a matter of course. In addition to 38 elegant and inviting rooms and suites, the chalet hotel in Zürs am Arlberg offers supreme comfort as well as service which is tailored to the individual needs of each and every guest. And incidentally, one of the most attractive skiing regions of Europe lies directly before our door.

THURNHER’S LIFESTYLE FEELING

“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.

FOUR GENERATIONS

It all started in 1964. With the establishment of Thurnher’s Alpenhof, Elfi and Oskar Thurnher had fulfilled their long-cherished dream of a home in the mountains. Today their daughter Dr. Beatrice Zarges manages the destiny of the family-run chalet hotel. She is assisted by Stephanie Zarges-Vogel, representing the third generation – with the help of little Coco-Felice, who runs gaily along the corridors and regards the hotel, which is considered to be one of the most attractive resorts in the whole of the Alps, as her own personal property.

Accommodations :

SINGLE AND DOUBLE ROOMS

The individual, very personal furnishing style of the three single rooms and eleven double rooms is similar to that of the Junior Suites and Suites. Most of the rooms have a balcony with a view of the 1,700-metre Hexenboden or the romantic village. Some of the double rooms can be equipped with twin beds upon request. In addition, some of the rooms can be linked directly to a suite and are therefore suitable for larger families who would like to extend the room available in their spacious suite.

The sofas in the living area can be pulled out to provide space for  two children.

THUMHER’S RESIDENCES

Just four Suites and one Penthouse Apartment: the newly opened Thurnher’s Residences are attracting attention as the first and only serviced apartments in Zürs. Modern forms are combined with relaxing materials. They are luxuriously equipped, flooded with light, extremely comfortable and provide an attractive alternative temporary home instead of living in a hotel – especially as the guests in the chalet residence directly beside the Zürser See lift can also call upon the wide-ranging services provided by Thurnher’s Alpenhof at any time.

Dining :

GASTRONOMY

You will not need mountaineering skills to dine in the restaurant which critics and testers have confirmed to be one of the top gastronomic addresses in Austria. Thurnher’s Alpenhof lies at a height of 1,717 metres, but it is easily accessible for visitors. Delicious creations to delight both eye and palate await you in our restaurant. The Piano Bar is immediately next door, where the fire crackles in the hearth while the barman shakes and stirs the cocktails …

RESTAURANT

Starting point for our cuisine is the product. Top quality, fresh, unadulterated. Preferably from the region, but sometimes from distant shores. Our two new chefs de cuisine Ronald Thelemann and René Pusch will convince you with a puristic cuisine which focuses on the product and dispenses with superfluous flavourings. It goes without saying that dietary requirements or special culinary requests are taken into account during the preparation of the meals. And so are the nutritional requirements and preferences of children, for whom we prepare special menus. The highlight of our abundant breakfast buffet is the cold meats counter with a unique selection of Austrian sausage and ham varieties. Theme evenings round out our culinary offerings. Try them and see!

FIREPLACE – LOUNGE – BAR

A Zürs Sprizz is always the right choice – not only as an aperitif before a delicious gourmet menu! The signature drink of Thurnher’s Alpenhof is one of many creations with which our barkeepers create emotions in liquid form. Time seems to stand still in the Lounge and Piano Bar when the snowflakes are swirling outside and your gaze through the panorama windows sweeps across the white mountain world before the door. Every afternoon between 3.30 and 5 pm we serve traditional refreshments including a small savoury speciality and delicious cakes.

COCO’S LOUNGE

Thurnher’s Alpenhof is again conjuring up a trend for Zürs on the Arlberg in the new 2017/2018 season: Coco’s Lounge!
In a relaxed atmosphere  we serve Surf & Turf in three variants.
Our motto: “Casual, but still with top quality”
Furthermore: you will be pleased about our champagne prices! “Our guests should not be tempted to enter a five-star superior hotel!”

Convince yourself:

ROOF TERRACE

The Trittkopf, Rüfikopf and Hasenfluh provide the imposing backdrop for relaxing moments on the panoramic Rooftop Terrace of Thurnher’s Alpenhof. Up here, on the fifth floor of the 5-star superior hotel, our guests can enjoy a midday snack or the warmth of the sun as they relax over afternoon tea with Gugelhupf, can retire to read or end the day on the slopes with a sundowner. Or take a break from their leisure programme and do nothing at all.

Spa :

WELLNESS & SPA

To switch off for a few hours or even an entire day – not to have to do anything, just be and savour the moment: What better place is there to enjoy this than the SPA of Thurnher’s Alpenhof? Our modern wellness area with its Mediterranean accents offers a indoor pool with counter-current, a Finnish sauna and a bio sauna, steam bath, fitness room and rest area. Our wellness programme also includes massages, holistic treatments and fitness units. Stretching, water and ski gymnastics will make you fit for the slopes.

THURNHER’S SPA

Swimming in our indoor pool, which is heated to 30 °C, is most enjoyable when the snowflakes are swirling down from the sky. The clean lines and elegant mood of the pool is continued in the other areas of the SPA. The Finnish sauna, bio sauna and steam bath can be used by our guests free of charge at any time. In order to cool down you can simply leap into the plunge pool, which is fed by the hotel’s own spring. Afterwards, the rest area beckons – for as long as you want and as often as you want.

WELLNESS TREATMENTS

The well-being of our guests is a top priority for us. “Wellness” is more than simply the good feeling of having pampered one’s body and having relaxed for a while. Well-being is based on inner balance, on energies which can flow freely. Because we at Thurnher’s Alpenhof are convinced by holistic principles, in our SPA we offer massages using aroma oils as well as Ayurveda massages and chakra treatments using products by DORISSIMA. They work on the seven energy centres of the body.

FITNESS & PERSONAL TRAINING

Bernd Österle is your man. Assuming you want to do something to improve your physical condition. Our Mr. Universum Fitness looks after the guests at Thurnher’s Alpenhof personally and in addition to Pilates he also offers training units for body shaping, muscle development and back strengthening. If you want to improve your endurance, strengthen your body and become more flexible, upon request Bernd Österle will also draw up individual training plans which can easily be fitted into your daily routine.

Ski :

SKIING PLEASURE

Over 300 kilometres of perfectly prepared ski slopes, 200 km if high Alpine deep-snow desents, 87 lifts and railways: The Lech Zürs am Arlberg ski region can only be described in superlative terms. No wonder that the readers of Condé Nast Traveller nominated the “Cradle of Alpine Skiing” as the best skiing region in Europe. With the opening of the new Flexenbahn from December 2016, all ski resorts in Arlberg will be linked together to create the fifth-largest skiing region in the world. It extends from St. Anton in Tyrol via Lech and Zürs to Warth and Schröcken in Voralberg and is thus unrivalled in Austria.
