Overview

Run by the Thurnher family for over 40 years, this five-star Leading Hotel of the World is one of the best-kept secrets in the Austrian alps.

Thurnher’s Alpenhof stands in the Arlberg region in the hamlet of Zürs, and whilst the area is as exclusive as nearby Lech, it tends to be more sophisticated. From the hotel there is direct access to the ski slopes of Zürs featuring downhill runs to suit all levels of skier, as well as opportunities for cross-country skiing and alpine sledging. A traditional hotel open only for the winter season, Thurnher’s is a ‘home from home’ for guests seeking style combined with authenticity. Generously appointed rooms are spacious and many boast balconies overlooking the snow-covered mountains. Facilities include an indoor pool, fitness centre and spa as well as the complimentary services of a ski instructor. A children's programme is also offered. Evenings are much anticipated, beginning with cocktails in the elegant Piano Bar and culminating in the local specialities of the gourmet restaurant. However long you stay, you will receive a warm welcome at Thurnher’s Alpenhof, quite simply one of Europe’s finest ski hotels.
