When a meeting should achieve
more than a full calendar.
Fender Chalets Sonnalm is not a traditional conference venue. And that is precisely its strength.
This is not about meeting rooms without daylight, standardised coffee breaks or conversations squeezed between agenda items. It is about focus, confidentiality, perspective and the quality of meaningful exchange.
At 1,750 metres above sea level, leadership teams, entrepreneurs, project groups and selected guests find an environment that uniquely combines work and retreat. In a private atmosphere, conversations gain depth. Decisions are given time to mature. And days become not just organised, but intentionally designed.
- Exclusive location for small groups
- Ideal for executive retreats, strategy meetings and offsites
- Discreet atmosphere away from traditional business hotels
- Two identical luxury chalets: Emely and Lena
- Private spa, hot tub and retreat spaces

For teams that no longer need
more noise, but greater clarity.
Fender Chalets are ideal for small, carefully selected groups looking to step away from everyday routines. For leaders who do not want to develop strategy between meetings. For companies seeking a distinctive setting for their most important conversations. And for teams looking to regain direction, energy and shared perspective after demanding periods.
Executive Boards
For confidential strategy sessions, annual planning, succession discussions, transformation processes and decisions that require focus and discretion.
Leadership Teams
For leadership retreats, team development, reflection, culture work and aligning around future goals.
Project Teams
For workshops, concept days, product development, brand work and creative processes that benefit from space and distance.
Entrepreneurs
For personal retreats, sparring sessions, coaching, workations or days where focus and recovery belong together.
Partner Events
For selected incentives, exclusive invitations, confidential conversations and relationship-building at the highest level.
Work with focus. Think without interruption.
Decide with confidence.
The unique quality of Fender Chalets lies in the combination of private living and professional standards. Instead of anonymous meeting infrastructure, you will find an exclusive setting that encourages connection, concentration and genuine dialogue.
Depending on group size and objectives, work sessions, discussions, presentations and confidential meetings can be arranged individually. The spacious living and dining areas create an atmosphere where work feels neither sterile nor formal, but refined, personal and focused.

Sometimes distance is the most productive space.
Today, the greatest luxury for many companies is not equipment. It is uninterrupted time. At Stubeck Sonnalm, that time becomes possible.
The view expands, the mind clears and conversations become more honest. A change of location helps break familiar thought patterns and brings fresh clarity to important topics.
Fender Chalets creates a setting where work is not separated from experience. A strategy discussion can begin around the table, continue on a walk and unfold further over dinner. That is the unique value of this location: it gives meetings not only space, but depth.
- Distance from operational day-to-day business
- Peaceful surroundings without distractions
- Protected setting for confidential topics
- Refined ambience for discerning guests
- A combination of work, nature, culinary enjoyment and regeneration
- Ideal for small groups with high expectations
- Memorable experiences beyond the meeting itself
After the meeting, there is no hotel corridor waiting.
Only your chalet.
Chalet Emely and Chalet Lena are identically appointed and offer the same exclusive comfort. For B2B stays, this means consistent quality, fair allocation and a shared premium experience for all guests.
The chalets combine spacious living areas, private retreats, high-quality furnishings and a relaxed atmosphere. The result is an environment where intensive workdays do not become exhausting, but are balanced by space for conversations, breaks, personal relaxation and enjoyable evenings together.

Because good decisions also need recovery.
An intensive meeting day deserves a meaningful ending. At Fender Chalets, this happens in complete privacy: with a sauna, relaxation room and hot tub directly in your chalet. No walking distances, no fixed spa schedules, no other guests. Just warmth, tranquillity and the space to reconnect with yourself.
For leadership teams and companies, this quality is more than a pleasant extra. It supports recovery, exchange and informal conversations – often exactly those moments where ideas develop further and relationships grow stronger.
- Private spa in every chalet
- Sauna after intensive work sessions
- Hot tub on the terrace
- Privacy without public spaces
- Relaxation as part of the retreat concept
- Ideal for multi-day offsites and leadership formats
The best conversations rarely end with the final agenda item.
Shared meals are often more than breaks during business retreats. They build trust, open conversations and give the day a special quality. At Fender Chalets, culinary enjoyment is therefore not an addition, but an integral part of the experience.
Whether it is breakfast in the chalet, culinary extras, selected wines, a shared dinner or individually tailored dining experiences, every element can be adapted to your objectives, occasion and group. The result is a setting that is professionally organised while remaining genuinely personal.
- Breakfast served in the chalet
- Coffee breaks and light refreshments
- Shared dinners on request
- Private dining / private chef on request
- Selected wines and beverages

- Tailored arrangements according to occasion and group
