The Fender Family
For our heartfelt project, the Fender Chalets Sonnalm, we found a place on the Stubeck Sonnalm that perfectly reflects our idea of a truly special holiday: peaceful, intimate, close to nature, and genuinely valuable. A small retreat at 1,750 metres above sea level, high above Gmünd in Carinthia, created for people who wish to step away from everyday life and reconnect with themselves.
It was from this vision that the Fender Chalets were born: two exclusive luxury chalets in Carinthia, thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind, furnished to the highest standards, and managed with great attention to detail. Here, we combine the privacy and freedom of a chalet holiday with the service, quality, and comfort of refined hospitality.
We look forward to welcoming you to our little paradise on the Stubeck Sonnalm!
Our Philosophy
The Fender Chalets represent the kind of holiday we love ourselves: authentic, high-quality, close to nature, and refreshingly uncomplicated.
A chalet holiday in Carinthia that does not feel staged, but genuine. With alpine comfort, exceptional privacy, personalised service, and a sense of freedom that begins the moment you arrive. Our goal is to create a holiday experience where you can feel completely at ease.
With premium furnishings, a private spa within your chalet, sauna, hot tub, thoughtful details, and exactly the level of personal attention that makes your stay special. Never intrusive. Never standardised. Instead, attentive, warm, and personal.
On the Stubeck Sonnalm, we have found an extraordinary place to bring this vision to life. Surrounded by forests, alpine meadows, and the vast mountain landscapes of Carinthia, nature sets the pace here. The scent of meadows and woodland, the gentle murmur of the stream, birdsong in the morning, sunshine on the chalet terrace, and peaceful evenings overlooking the mountains all combine to create a truly special hideaway in Carinthia.
It is our heartfelt ambition that your time at the Fender Chalets allows you to recharge your energy, enjoy true freedom, and savour every moment of your stay. With everything that nurtures your wellbeing and nothing that disturbs your peace.
Where Everyday Everyday Life Struggles to Reach.
The Fender Chalets Sonnalm are a place for a restorative and unhurried escape, combining luxurious comfort with the calming power of nature. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, embraced by tranquillity, and hosted by people who are passionate about hospitality, this is a place where privacy and unforgettable experiences come together.
Start your day at your own pace. Enjoy breakfast in your chalet, unwind in your private spa, explore the surrounding countryside, or simply stay exactly where you are. On the terrace. In the sauna. In the hot tub. Sharing a meaningful conversation. Or immersed in the soothing silence of the Sonnalm.
As a host family, we believe that genuine hospitality begins with personal attention and sincere care. We are here to fulfil your wishes, share recommendations, and help create special moments, always remaining as present as you would like us to be.
With the Fender Chalets, we have created a private hideaway for those who seek peace, appreciate comfort, and wish to experience truly special holidays with intention and ease.
