Feel the mountain energy

Gargellen. The highest located spot of happiness in Montafon, 1,450 metres above sea level, right next door to Switzerland. At the end of a valley, no transit traffic. If you want to reach new heights, chase your dream summit here. Or hike to the next alp and listen to the silence. Even the drive through the wild Gargellen valley is an experience on its own. Secret smuggler’s trails. Rushing mountain streams and untouched nature. Discover the big things in the small details here, far away from the noise of the world.

A hotel with traditions and history

Hotel Madrisa is run by the family Rhomberg in the fourth generation, with vision and diligence. Part of the house is listed under preservation order. The house breathes the history of a whole century. Artistic woodwork and architecture. Imposing Art Nouveau rooms. This is where history meets zeitgeist.

In harmony with nature

Our animals are raised in Gargellen and spend the summer on the Platina Alp. In freedom and in proper animal welfare conditions. Careful and considerate use of our resources is particularly important to us. Our partnership with the farmers is a matter of appreciation to us. Inimitable sustainability is the result of this consciousness.

Real & honest culinary pleasure

“From nose to tail”. “Slow Food”. “Organic”. What might be a trend for urban kitchen chefs has been our routine for decades. Because it is logical and consistent. We serve meat from our own organic farm. We buy from the local farmers, fishermen and dairy farmers. We know the origin of our products and emphasise pure taste.
