Indulgence, Tailored to You
At Fender Chalets, indulgence begins the moment you arrive: in the privacy of your own chalet, surrounded by a relaxed atmosphere and entirely according to your personal preferences. No fixed hotel schedules, no crowded restaurants, and no rigid concepts.
You decide when, where, and how you would like to enjoy your stay. We provide the perfect setting.
Our concierge service accompanies you to exactly the extent that suits your holiday. We take care of culinary and organisational details, coordinate your wishes personally, and ensure that every dining experience is effortless, stylish, and relaxed from breakfast served in your chalet and regional delicacies to private dining, wine pairings, and special occasions.
From Breakfast to Dinner
Whether it is a lovingly prepared breakfast, an elegantly served dinner, exclusive private dining, or a unique Chef’s Table experience, every meal and culinary moment is tailored to your preferences, dietary requirements, and the occasion of your stay. Classic, light, hearty, vegetarian, or celebratory our cuisine is crafted with care, experience, and a refined understanding of what delights your palate.
Upon request, dishes can be prepared directly in your chalet. Alternatively, selected meals are beautifully presented and served in your chalet at your preferred time, set on a thoughtfully laid table where your evening can begin in complete relaxation.
In this way, your chalet holiday in Carinthia becomes a culinary retreat as well—an experience designed entirely around you.
Alm vinothek & The World of Wine with Sommelier
Erwin Fender
At the Fender Chalets, wine is an integral part of the experience. Host and certified sommelier Erwin Fender selects each wine with expertise, passion, and a refined sense for special moments — perfectly paired with a traditional Carinthian snack platter, private dining, the Chef’s Table experience, or a relaxing evening in your chalet.
Both Chalet Emely and Chalet Lena feature a wine climate cabinet stocked with a carefully curated selection of wines from Austria and around the world. This offering is complemented by the Alm Vinothek, the heart of the Fender wine world. This exceptional collection comprises around 6,000 bottles in storage, including approximately 350 handpicked labels and premium wines from renowned wine regions. Personally curated by Erwin Fender and kept under optimal conditions, it reflects his dedication to quality and outstanding wine enjoyment.
The Best Is Close to Home
We select every ingredient with great care. At the heart of our culinary philosophy are quality, flavour, and a genuine connection to the region. Wherever possible, we work with local producers, family-run farms, and trusted partners who share our values: authenticity, excellence, and respect for every product.
Carinthian specialties, seasonal ingredients, and carefully selected local delicacies bring the flavours of the region directly to your chalet. The result is a culinary experience that is distinctive and deeply connected to its surroundings to the Stubeck Sonnalm, the mountains, the tranquillity, and the feeling of truly having arrived
Personally Tailored. Privately Served.
Entirely at Your Own Pace.
Your culinary experience is designed around your individual wishes and preferences. Some moments of indulgence are already part of your chalet stay, such as the daily Sonnalm breakfast served in the comfort of your chalet. Other experiences can be added according to your desires, including private dining, barbecue evenings, fondue, wine pairings, a Chef’s Table experience, or bespoke arrangements for special occasions.
Before or during your stay, we will personally discuss your preferences, when you would like to dine, and the level of service that suits you best. This ensures that everything remains effortless, personal, and private exactly as a holiday at Fender Chalets is meant to be.
Rum, Gin, Whisky & More In Your Chalet
Guests with a passion for fine spirits can look forward to a carefully curated selection of premium distillates in their chalet. Rum, gin, whisky, and exceptional spirits from around the world provide the perfect conclusion to a memorable dinner or a relaxing evening by the fireplace.
Whether enjoyed as a digestif, shared during a conversation on the terrace, or savoured as the final indulgence of the day, this collection is designed for those who appreciate quality, character, and distinctive flavours.
EXCLUSIVE CIGARS & FINE TOBACCO SELECTIONS
In Your Chalet Humidor
Guests who appreciate fine tobacco can enjoy a fully climate-controlled humidor in every chalet, stocked with a carefully selected collection of premium cigars and exceptional rarities. Sourced from renowned producers in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and other Latin American countries, these cigars are stored under ideal conditions to ensure the highest quality and enjoyment.
During your stay, you are also welcome to store your own cigars and tobacco products in the chalet humidor.
For the comfort of all guests, we kindly ask that cigars and tobacco products be enjoyed exclusively on the terrace or balcony and not inside the chalet.
