Hotel Edelweiss
Winter season
Österreich, Vorarlberg, Lech Zürs am Arlberg
At the Arlberg, the Edelweiss is a legend. It’s anything but ordinary. Here, tigers stroll across carpets, while elephants and zebras wander through the restaurant, and at the entrance, an elegant giraffe wearing a flower wreath greets guests.
Our corporate philosophy
The perfect hotel for your ski vacation in Zürs am Arlberg. Winter 1854. A cultural revolution. The Edelweiss is preceded by a reputation built over four generations.
Ski vacations never go out of style. Neither does champagne. It’s hard to put this intuitive appeal into words. What makes working at the Hotel Edelweiss so unique:
„Who We Are – das Edelweiss Team“
At the helm of our establishment are Irmgard and Karl Wiener—who bring heart, charm, and a truly hands-on approach. We’ve been working together for over 28 years—more than 20 of those in the Arlberg region—and we’re passionate about shaping hospitality in its most modern form.
Our business offers a wide range of exciting career opportunities—from the restaurant and bar to the kitchen and spa, as well as administration, front desk, housekeeping, and the hands-on “technical” team that ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
