Boredom is unknown here!
Fun and games galore: In addition to our playground with its giant trampoline, swing and slide, the go-karts and tractors are a guaranteed hit with the kids.
Playing in the snow
In winter children love to roll around, slide or toboggan down the snowy hillsides. Close by is a playground with a slide and swings - and also the restaurant’s sun terrace, from where you can keep a watchful eye on what your children are up to!
Our own farm
Our cows Alma, Flora, Arnika and Afra are responsible for the production of our very own fresh milk. The farmer is happy to take you along when he does the milking, and let you watch over his shoulder. From July to September our cows are also on holiday, up on the Auenfeld Alpe in Schröcken.

Unique forest ski run
The run down through the forest into the valley extends from the bottom station of the Breitenalpe to the beginners’ slope by the Ahorn lift. This is an intermediate run which can also be undertaken by beginners learning the snow plough.
Biomass power station
Sustainable heat from wood
The Zündel family’s power plant plays an important role in the environmental protection of our region. A second, larger plant is located in Gräsalp, and both are fuelled by sustainable wood chips. Wood is a sustainably sourced local fuel which ranks, along with hydro-electrical power, as the principal and, importantly, indefinitely sustainable energy source in Vorarlberg. Both power stations together replace approx. 240,000 litres of oil per year.
Wellness complex sun terrace
Offering direct access to the wellness complex with its sauna, Jacuzzi and infra-red heat cabin, our sun terrace is the perfect place to sunbathe and relax in a deckchair.
