True luxury lies in the purity of the nature of the Tyrolean Alps and in the time you spend here.” The Wellness Hotel Arpuria of the host family Fahrner truly lives up to this credo as a “hidden luxury mountain home”.

The picturesque village of Bever in the Upper Engadine is the home of Lenka and Fabian Erny. On the outskirts of the 600-strong community - surrounded by a magnificent natural backdrop - the internationally successful skiers (the hostess was a two-time world champion in powder skiing) opened their luxurious Engadin Chalet on 8 December 2022 after a two-year construction period. Up to six guests can experience unforgettable holidays in this hideaway at 1717 metres above sea level. Ideal for two: the cosy chalet flat in the main residence "It was our dream to be hosts ourselves. People long for peace, for privacy. They want to switch off the fast life for a while, enjoy a comfortable, beautiful ambience. We want to fulfil these wishes for them. Among other things, we offer a chalet bread service, massages, skiing lessons in our in-house ski school, give tips on restaurants and excursions," explains hotel manager Fabian Erny, who completed his training at the renowned César Ritz Colleges, Lake Geneva.
