We look forward to
pampering you
At the Fender Chalets Sonnalm
Exceptional Dining in the Privacy of Your Chalet
At Fender Chalets, Private Dining means enjoying a special meal in the place where you feel most at ease, your own chalet. Personal, private, and tailored entirely to your wishes. Private Dining is available upon request and arranged individually to suit your preferences.
Together, we discuss the kind of evening you envision: an elegant multi-course dinner, a convivial fondue experience, an exclusive barbecue, a romantic occasion for two, or a memorable evening with family and friends. From there, we create a bespoke culinary concept that reflects your taste, your stay, and the occasion itself.
Depending on your preferences, dishes can be prepared directly in your chalet or beautifully presented and served for you to enjoy. There is nothing to organise, nothing to prepare, and nothing to worry about. We take care of every detail, you simply relax and savour the experience.

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.
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.
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.
