1927
Grandfather opens the mountain inn
One parlour, six tables and the best speck in the valley – nothing more was needed at the start. People paid with eggs, too.
Four generations on the Sonnwend slope
The House & Its People
Theresa Sonnleitner
Landlady & head chef
Has cooked from her grandmother’s recipes for 25 years – and reinvents them a little more each summer.
Jakob Sonnleitner
Landlord & sommelier
Knows the story behind every wine’s maker – and behind the pine schnapps, of course.
Anna Hofer
Service & heart of the house
Remembers every regular and every favourite drink. Truly every one.
Since 1927
The History of the House
1968
The first guest rooms
The hayloft becomes four rooms with a wash basin and a mountain view – the first summer guests stay a full two weeks.
1994
Remodelling the parlour
Theresa’s parents carefully remodel the parlour: the old wood stays, a new kitchen arrives – the cheese-dumpling recipe stays the same anyway.
2012
Theresa & Jakob take over
A fourth generation, new ideas: herb walks, a wine cellar, our own farm shop – and the promise that the inn stays an inn.
2024
Rooms fitted out in Swiss pine
The Brandhofer joinery fits out three rooms and the apartment in local Swiss pine – the wood comes from our own forest.
