Stuben, where modern skiing began
The Mondschein has been an inn on the Arlberg Pass since 1739. In hard winters, carters and travellers waited here in the warm Stube until the moonlight guided them safely over the pass.
Hannes Schneider was born in Stuben in 1890. He developed the Arlberg technique and, in the winter of 1920/21, founded the first ski school in Austria in St. Anton.

A letter from your host
Welcome to the Mondschein
Hospitality runs in the family. Samuel Kegele built and ran the Hotel Scesaplana in Brand. In 1871 he helped build the Lünerseehütte and became its first landlord.
A snowboard race brought me to Stuben. In 2005, over a glass of wine, Werner Walch asked me whether I knew a buyer for the Mondschein. “Yes,” I said. “He’s sitting across from you.” The rest is history.
Since then, the quiet little Mondschein has become a house for guests from all over the world. What has stayed are the old parlours, Werner’s recipes for bread and young beef ham, and the joy of being a host. His favourite place, the wine cellar, is still where friends of the Mondschein meet.
Lovely to have you here.
Markus R. KegeleOwner and host since 2005
