Who are behind the
Edelweiss Activity Hotel.
Edelweiss Activity Hotel has always been a holiday residence with heart. Ever since Franz Helmuth and “Mutti” Margarethe set up the business in 1969, people give their best here to bring joy to guests seeking adventure and relaxation. And those who set foot in our hotel for the first time will quickly notice: Everything here has a human touch.
Like at reception. Here the “kind soul of the house”, Petra, is in her element. Her world-embracing smile is so sincere that it immediately warms your heart. Her husband Reini is both manager and head chef and, being a true thrillseeker, also has the best sports and hiking tips in store for you.
Their two daughters are also put to work in the hotel and bring a breath of fresh air. Madea can be found mainly in the kitchen where she is in charge of the desserts, while Milena prefers staying in the background and handles the marketing.
And then, of course, there is our Edelweiss-Team: a crazy bunch all working hard in concert in service, housekeeping, at reception, in the kitchen and as bike guides to make sure guests want for nothing. They make sure that everyone here feels right at home from beginning to end.
1969
With brave and diligent pioneering work, our parents Franz Helmuth Raffeiner and Margarete Renner, lovingly called “Mummy” by everyone, built their guesthouse with 21 rooms at Reschen Pass.
1980
After 11 years it was time for major renovation work in the Edelweiss: A swimming pool and sauna were added, the comfortable dining room enlarged.
1998
Now it’s the boys’ turn! Petra and Reini take over Hotel Edelweiss in the second generation and continue to run it with just as much passion as their parents Franz and Margarete.
2001
The “young” wind blowing through the Edelweiss also brings with it some modification and renovation work, such as the new lift taking guests up and down in comfort.
2015
Time for change! Major modifications to the Edelweiss: 31 rooms and a 4th floor are added and with it a new panoramic sauna, a relaxation room and the hot whirlpool on the roof terrace.
2019
And once again it’s the boys’ turn in the Edelweiss Activity Hotel. Madea can be found mainly in the kitchen, where she is primarily in charge of desserts.
