La Loupe St. Anton, St. Christoph & Stuben am Arlberg No. 6

WORDRAP
When you enter the
APRÈS POST HOTEL…
you arrive, feel at home, enjoy.
The most important ingredients
in the “Hannes”-drink?
It’s a secret recipe with quite a bit of alcohol,
such as rum. The rest is a surprise!
Change…
is life. It happens all around us.
We need courage to accept the
changes and make the best of them.
Stuben 50 years from now:
I’ll still be sitting on the terrace and
looking at the mountains, I’ll still feast
my eyes on the wonderful view, but I
hope I will no longer be responsible
for the hotel.
Slopes or hiking paths?
Both.
Family means…
a lot to me. I am happy to have a
strong woman by my side who is willing
to walk this road with me. Family gives
you strength and should be taken
good care of.
L.L. In the past years Stuben has been
able to newly position itself as an alpine
skiing and mountaineering destination.
Has this led to any positive developments
yet?
T.B. The Arlberg has been a skiing destination
for a long time. The kinds of people
that come here have changed over the
course of the past years, in Stuben and in
our house. As far as positioning goes, Stuben
has focused on three pillars “quality time”,
“einfach geniessen” (= simply enjoy) and
“aktiv sportlich sein” (= be actively sporty).
The guests want to exercise, enjoy their
holiday and spend time with family and
friends.
There also is a lot going on in the summer
months, the guests are drawn into the
mountains more and more. They don’t
want to practise extreme sports, but they
enjoy leisurely hikes or e-bike rides. As
we all know from the famous AMAS study,
the altitude of 1,400 metres has positive
effects on the body. Now we just need to
teach our guests to stay for two weeks to
make sure the body can adapt to it.
L.L. Did the connection with the ski area Ski Arlberg have
a big influence?
T.B. ⁄ The new ski lift connection between Stuben-Rauz and
Zürs made a big difference. Stuben has moved to the centre of
the Arlberg. Our guest can now get to the other villages quickly –
Lech, Zürs, Warth, St. Christoph, and St. Anton. Because of the
new lift connection, comfort and quality have increased, too.
A huge step – and for many in Stuben it was a reason to take
the risk of making investments.
