Zürs, Austria
A Skardarasy family alpine estate in Zürs am Arlberg. Ski-in, ski-out onto 305 kilometres of pistes, with fine dining by Roland Gorgosilich and a 3,200 m2 spa behind stone walls.
Step directly from the Hotel Zürserhof onto the slopes of the Arlberg. The hotel sits at the heart of Zürs, where snow is guaranteed and the mountain begins at the front door.
Stone walls, warm tones, and a legendary sun terrace frame an alpine estate that feels both grand and private. The Skardarasy family has run this hotel for nearly 70 years. Second and third generations steer it now. The fourth, Maximilian, was born in 2012. Their Quiet Luxury philosophy keeps things unhurried, personal, and free of spectacle. The Zürserhof is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
Ski guides meet guests at the hotel door and head straight onto the Arlberg's 305 kilometres of pistes. No shuttle, no transfer. An in-house sport shop and ski rental sit on site, so there is no reason to leave the building until you clip in. An indoor sports and tennis hall stays open year-round. Younger guests have a Kids Club and Teenie World with dedicated programmes. The Arlberg's guaranteed snow season stretches deep into spring, keeping Zürs one of Austria's most reliable ski destinations.

Roland Gorgosilich leads the Gourmetrestaurant, where the Skardarasy family's standard is fine dining at the highest level. The kitchen follows a gourmet Alpine direction rooted in precision and restraint. Clemens Strobl curates two proprietary labels for the hotel: Zürserhof Wein and Zürserhof Champagner. These are poured exclusively here, tying the wine list directly to the family's identity. Dining at the Zürserhof carries the same unhurried, private character as the rest of the estate.
The Aureus Spa spans 3,200 square metres behind massive stone walls. Warm colours and low light set the tone. A Panorama Infinity whirlpool looks out toward the Arlberg peaks. The spa is reserved for guests aged 16 and above. Families have their own dedicated space. The Family Spa has a kid-friendly sauna, a pool area, and spa treatments designed for children and teenagers. A Haarsalon rounds out the facilities, keeping everything under one roof. The separation between the two areas gives adults stillness and gives families room to move.
The Skardarasy family has maintained the Hotel Zürserhof for nearly 70 years, building with permanence rather than disposability. Stone walls and durable alpine materials define the structure, designed to outlast trends and reduce the need for frequent renovation.
Specific sustainability certifications and energy practices are not currently published by the hotel. The long-term family stewardship and investment in lasting infrastructure reflect a material commitment to longevity over short-term gain.
