A: Ski-Hotel Mondschein is unique due to its nearly 300-year history (dating back to 1739), its iconic location directly on the Arlberg descent, and a deliberately personal, curated host culture. Instead of anonymous Alpine luxury, the house offers character: a historic ambiance, a modern culinary concept centered around the Chef’s Table, and an international guest circle that seeks authenticity over standard. This blend of tradition, location, and individual touch creates an Alpine experience that is hard to find anywhere else in the Alps.
A: Yes. In addition to the main building, Chalet Mondschein offers several exclusive Wellness Suites for an uncompromisingly luxurious stay throughout the year. Each suite is equipped with a private sauna or infrared cabin, an open fireplace, and a southwest-facing terrace. The signature experience is the “Pyjama Breakfast”—breakfast served via room service directly to your room—followed by ski-in/ski-out access, taking the lift immediately from the chalet to the Albona 1 valley station. The combination of privacy, design, and location offers a standard that is rare even for the Arlberg. These rooms are ideal for couples.

Other nearby airports include Innsbruck, St. Gallen–Altenrhein, and Memmingen, all within easy reach of the Arlberg region.
A: Hotel Mondschein is deliberately designed as a quiet retreat for couples, friends, and adult guests. Our focus is on relaxation, fine dining, and Alpine enjoyment—therefore, we do not provide traditional children’s play areas or childcare programs. Families with small children typically find specialized family hotels more suitable, whereas the Mondschein is ideal for guests seeking a stylish and relaxed stay.

A: Hotel Mondschein provides access to exclusive heli-skiing experiences in the Arlberg region. This is a significant distinction, as the Arlberg is one of the few areas in Austria where heli-skiing is legally permitted and professionally conducted.
A: From Hotel Mondschein, guests launch directly into Ski Arlberg, one of the top 5 ski resorts in the world and the largest in Austria. Thanks to our ski-in/ski-out location, you can reach Zürs/Lech in one direction and St. Anton/St. Christoph in the other with just two lifts—no car or bus required. A particular highlight is the Albona mountain above Stuben, renowned for its snow reliability and world-class freeride quality that often lasts well into spring. This makes Mondschein one of the strategically best starting points for guests seeking maximum variety and snow security.
A: Absolutely. Hotel Mondschein considers itself an Alpine retreat that offers a profound experience even off the slopes. Our offerings are designed to promote physical recovery as well as cultural and culinary inspiration.
A major highlight is the Chef’s Night Arlberg on December 4th and 5th, featuring Chef Dieter Koschina for the 15th time at Mondschein. The Chef’s Night is a signature culinary event where Alpine cuisine meets international top-tier gastronomy. The focus is on Dieter Koschina, who has been awarded two Michelin stars for over 26 years at the legendary Vila Joya.
The concept is simple: Arlberg meets Algarve—Alpine products, Portuguese sophistication, and two-star craftsmanship merge into a unique evening that goes far beyond a traditional dinner.

Those who wish to experience the Arlberg through sport, exceptional dining, and a historic house with a soul will find exactly what they are looking for at Mondschein.
Ski-Hotel Mondschein 1739 is not a museum of ski history—it is its living present. International brands like K2 continue to hold their meetings here, professional athletes stay with us, and many of the Arlberg’s top guides naturally bring their guests to Mondschein. From US World Cup skier Travis Ganong skiing the Albona to ski icon Glenn Plake recommending the house—anyone who is truly part of the skiing world eventually finds their way to Mondschein.
In our traditional parlors with tiled stoves—where legends like Luis Trenker and Hannes Schneider once sat—the scene still gathers today: for wine tastings, by the fireplace, after a day in the snow. This is not staged après-ski; it is authentic ski culture.
Mondschein combines living, skiing, and encounter in a way that exists in only a few places in the Alps: snow at the doorstep, mountains in view, and a guest parlor where generations of skiers find common ground. A house that does not just live off its myth—but rewrites it every winter.
