Bartholomäberg, Austria
A fifth-generation family hotel at 1,100 metres on Bartholomaeberg's sunny slope, with panoramic Alpine wellness, the Culinarium kitchen, and a century of Zudrell soul.
Hotel Fernblick Montafon sits on the south-facing hillside of Bartholomaeberg, 1,100 metres above the Silbertal Valley. Every balcony faces the same view: Alpine meadows dropping into the valley, snow-capped peaks beyond. The Zudrell family has run this hotel since 1922. Five generations have shaped each room, each lounge, each detail. The Me(e)hr_blick wellness oasis expanded in 2020 with a 65 m² event sauna and a Panorama Relax Infinity Pool. The Culinarium serves regional dishes from named local producers. Nothing feels templated.
Inhale. Exhale. Fe_rnblick. The hotel's own motto captures its pace. This is a pleasure and feel-good hotel with personality, not a resort built to scale. Sustainability runs through three pillars, ecological, economic, and social, because the Zudrells plan in centuries. Guests arrive by train to Schruns and ride the hotel's own bus up the mountain. The rhythm here is slow, personal, and rooted in Vorarlberg.
The Loch- and Obdorfleweg circular trail starts near the hotel and loops through Alpine meadows with panoramic mountain views. Mountain biking routes thread through the forested slopes above Schruns. The Montafon valley stretches across four seasons of terrain, from summer hiking to winter snow. A guest bus runs between the hotel and Schruns train station, connecting to the wider valley. The baroque church of Bartholomaeberg stands a short walk away, its ornate interior worth a quiet visit. Trails and peaks surround the hotel on every side.

The Culinarium opens with a rich breakfast buffet and serves fine snacks through the afternoon. Evening menus let guests choose flexibly across courses, building a meal to match their appetite. Crown of lamb with braised vegetables and fine sauce is a signature preparation. Meat comes from Metzgerei Salzgeber, the local butcher. Alfred Werle, a producer from Bartholomaeberg, supplies regional ingredients that anchor the kitchen.
An extensive wine list runs alongside, including a Fernblick house wine. The Zudrell family treats food as inseparable from the hotel's identity, a feel-good element as deliberate as the wellness or the view. Regional sourcing is not a marketing label here. It is the way the kitchen has always worked.
The Me(e)hr_blick wellness oasis expanded in 2020 across two new floors. A 65 m² event sauna anchors the upper level. The Panorama Relax Infinity Pool stretches toward the Silbertal Valley, with jet and massage areas built into the water. Geothermal probes heat several pools.
Relaxation zones fan out across the building: the Sauna Lounge holds thirty indoor loungers and ten terrace loungers. The Sky-Pool-Lounge, Fireplace Lounge, Panorama Lounge, and Room of Silence each set a different tone. The Relax Pool Lounge opens directly onto the water. Trained staff provide massages and beauty treatments. Even the spa cups are biodegradable, made from corn starch. Close your eyes. Dream. In peace lies strength.
Sustainability at Fernblick is framed for the next hundred years. The Zudrell family structures it across three pillars, ecological, economic, and social, because they see stewardship as inseparable from hospitality. Many small measures combine to form a large whole. Guests participate too, from arriving by train to Schruns to accepting the absence of single-use slippers.
Wood pellets heat the hotel. Geothermal probes warm the wellness pools. A south-facing solar array runs year-round on Bartholomaeberg's sunny slope. Biodegradable corn-starch cups replace plastic in the spa. The guest bus from Schruns station reduces car traffic up the mountain. Regional sourcing, from Metzgerei Salzgeber to local producer Alfred Werle, keeps the economic benefit close to Vorarlberg.
