You came for the weather.

Fernhaus is a fourteen-room lodge above the treeline. We could describe the beds. We would rather show you the mountain exactly as it is, right now, below.

The house

There is no spa. No ski butler, no pillow menu, no wellness concept. There is a fire, and there is the mountain — and in fourteen years nobody has asked us for anything else.

The long room at Fernhaus, in shadow, looking out through a full-height window at snow-covered peaks and low cloud.
The window Six metres of glass. We took the wall out.
The hearth at Fernhaus at night: an open fire in a stone surround, larch walls, sheepskin and a low timber table.
The fire Lit at four. Out when the last of you goes up.

Rooms

Three kinds of quiet.

Every room faces the mountain or the forest. None of them face the road, because there isn’t one.

  1. The Attic at Fernhaus: a single low bed under a sloping larch ceiling, one narrow window with snow falling outside, warm reading lamp.
    from €190

The long communal table at Fernhaus, laid for dinner by candlelight, with the fire burning at the far end.

The table

One table. One sitting. 7.30.

There is no menu to choose from. There is a menu, and it changes when the delivery changes, and it is written on the wall that morning. You eat with everyone else, at the long table, next to the fire.

Season

What the mountain is doing, and what it costs.

The thawApr – May Mud, meltwater, and the loudest birds of the year. The high paths are still shut. The house is half empty. House & table €0
SummerJun – Sep Light until ten. You can walk from the door to the ridge and back before dinner, and most people do. Everything €0
The quietOct – Nov Cloud sits in the valley for days. We close for two weeks in November to cut wood. This is our favourite time. Limited €0
