Half board on the Arlberg: the Chef's Choice at the Mondschein

At the Mondschein, half board on the Arlberg is called the Chef's Choice: four courses in the evening, cooked by the same kitchen as the Chef's Table and the Alte Gaststube. At the Ski Hotel and the Chalet the Chef's Choice is part of your rate, at the Arlberg Motel you add it on. Here you can read what is served, when and where you eat, and what else you can reserve.

Half board at the Mondschein: what is served

You start at the salad buffet, followed by a soup. For the main course you choose from several dishes, one of them vegetarian. To finish there is a dessert.

The menu changes daily and is alpine, with regional ingredients. It is cooked by the same brigade that prepares the Chef's Table and the menu of the Alte Gaststube. Stay for a week and you eat something different every evening from the same kitchen.

When and where you have dinner

Guests at the Ski Hotel and the Chalet come to dinner between 6.30 pm and 8.30 pm. Your table is reserved, so there is no need to book. The wellness area on the first floor is open until 6.30 pm, and then dinner begins. After a ski day in Lech or St. Anton there is still time for the sauna and to change.

Dinner is served mainly in the Panorama Restaurant and the Zirbenstube on the first floor. When it is full there, some guests sit in the Alte Gaststube. If you want to eat with friends from another room, tell reception and you will be seated together.

You can invite friends, family or colleagues who are not staying with us. Please reserve extra seats for them. À la carte is only served in the Alte Gaststube, in the evening from 6 pm to 9 pm.

Half board at the Arlberg Motel

The Arlberg Motel is a bed and breakfast. Motel guests add the Chef's Choice per person or reserve a table in the evening like à la carte guests. When tables are scarce, Motel guests have priority over visitors. They receive the Mondschein guest discount on food and drink.

In the week around New Year and in two weeks in February, half board is included at the Motel. Reception can tell you the exact weeks.

  • Ski Hotel Mondschein: a buffet in the Panorama Restaurant and the Zirbenstube, with egg dishes cooked fresh by a chef. You usually keep the same table all week.
