The Ullrhaus
In the summer of 2021, an extraordinary hotel opened in St. Anton am Arlberg: The Ullrhaus. The name is derived from the Nordic god of skiing - Ullr. He has found his home here. Where else but in St. Anton am Arlberg, the cradle of alpine skiing, should a ski god feel at home? A total of 88 state-of-the-art cable cars and lifts offer the highest standard of safety and comfort. Arlberg has made a name for itself since 1937, the year the Galzigbahn opened. 305 kilometers of marked ski runs, superbly prepared slopes for all ability levels, and 200 km of off-piste terrain ensure variety and enjoyment.
Facilities
- The Ullrhaus is not a classic alpine hotel: It is where creative people and design lovers want to spend their mountain vacation. The hotel is inspired by the surrounding nature and combines Nordic influence with Alpine materials: light sage tones, rich forest green, and lime gray dominate, all shapes are reduced, and warm woolen fabrics create a cozy atmosphere. In addition to elegant double rooms and suites, the Ullrhaus also offers serviced apartments, for example, the Ullr Suite with its own generous sauna and private terrace: Located on the top floor, guests enjoy modern luxury and the view of the hustle and bustle in St. Anton as the surrounding mountains.
Introducing the Owner's
- The local couple Franziska Alber and Michael Gfall have looked for a special place for the Home of Skiing: in the middle of town, between the Rendl and Galzig lifts and only a few steps away from the pedestrian zone. They also run the Galzig Bistrobar next door and love to share their passion for good food and design.
Wellness & SPA
- You can relax in their wellness area with a 17-meter-long indoor pool, a spacious sauna area, a steam bath, and a cozy relaxation room for a nice time-out. Two massage rooms and the in-house fitness room make the feel-good experience perfect.
Casual Fine Dining
- The à la carte restaurant in the Ullrhaus is managed by hotelier and chef Michael Gfall himself: “We will combine Nordic and Alpine cuisine,” says the chef. Enjoy the 8-course surprise menu with a lovely choice of wines or enjoy a nice aperitif at the lobby with its open fireplace. The place is intended to be a meeting point for guests and locals with really cool architecture and design.
