The Ullrhaus
In the summer of 2021, an extraordinary hotel opened in St. Anton am Arlberg: The Ullrhaus. The name is derived from the Nordic god of skiing - Ullr. He has found his home here. Where else but in St. Anton am Arlberg, the cradle of alpine skiing, should a ski god feel at home? A total of 88 state-of-the-art cable cars and lifts offer the highest standard of safety and comfort. Arlberg has made a name for itself since 1937, the year the Galzigbahn opened. 305 kilometers of marked ski runs, superbly prepared slopes for all ability levels, and 200 km of off-piste terrain ensure variety and enjoyment.

Facilities
- The Ullrhaus is not a classic alpine hotel: It is where creative people and design lovers want to spend their mountain vacation. The hotel is inspired by the surrounding nature and combines Nordic influence with Alpine materials: light sage tones, rich forest green, and lime gray dominate, all shapes are reduced, and warm woolen fabrics create a cozy atmosphere. In addition to elegant double rooms and suites, the Ullrhaus also offers serviced apartments, for example, the Ullr Suite with its own generous sauna and private terrace: Located on the top floor, guests enjoy modern luxury and the view of the hustle and bustle in St. Anton as the surrounding mountains.
Introducing the Owner's
