‘The best thing about being a hotelier is being able to offer spe-cial moments to your guests. A superb experience is the sum of many great moments.’

F A M I L Y P A S S I O N F A M I L Y P A S S I O N

S I M O N E D O M E N I G———has run the Schlosshotel Fiss since 2016. Her sensibility, sense of aesthetic harmony and impeccable standards are the three features that most characterise her work.

Family passion

For more than 25 years, our passion has been our hotel – and your Schlosshotel experience. The SHF family and crew’s shared beliefs: delight nourishes the soul, relaxation sustains the heart, and joy is the most beautiful thing in life. Let’s experience it together. In every room, every encounter, every day… and on these pages.

G O L D———They are precious and rare. Pure. Fresh. Filled with extraordinary energy: the first hours of the day. Experienced and enjoyed high above the roofs of Fiss. Before a sublime panorama – fit for kings.

S U N R I S E2 ,43 2———Ever higher, ever closer. Set off for the summit before dawn with guide Christian. Travel 1,000 vertical metres by gondola or SHF shuttle before hiking to nearby Frommeskreuz for an amazing Alpine sunrise.

Mountain. Valley. Village. And the space in between. Light touches everything – and touches you. Open up.

To the expanse. To the altitude. To the new day – when everything is possible, without demands.

All is light

E A R LYB I R D———Rise early and enjoy the day’s loveliest offerings: Crystal-clear air. Dewdrops on leaves. The spectacle of emerging mountain silhouettes at daybreak. And an inspirational power that has greater strength than even the very best cup of espresso.

– 7 –– 6 –

First on the mountain

A magnificent experience in just a few steps. Set off for the mountain from prime position on the sunny plateau.

When the village still sleeps. And nature is all yours.

There are 24 hours in every summer’s day but few have this many highlights. Feel great. Delight.

Discover. Let go. Experience.

S LOW S TA R T———Wake up to a slow food breakfast. Plentiful. First-class. Typically regional. And so good.

M O R N I N G M O M E N T S———First a run. Awaken with nature. A breath of fresh air. Or lap the pool – just you and the mountains. The start of another day of sunshine.

M O U N TA I N E N CO U N T E R S———The Schlosshotel Fiss opens the doors to Alpine adventure: go climbing with Christian or plump for a gentle hike at moderate altitudes. What will it be today?

Follow the road downhill, turn right at the second hairpin bend, via the Rotschrofen to the junction with Weg Nr. 7 above the Gample. Either walk down to the Kuhalm and into the village or keep going to the Frommeshütte and then the Frommes Cross or back via the Frommes Alp.

W H E R E A R E W E ?———The luxury of satnav can mean we never quite find our bearings and few therefore properly explore this lit tle slice of heaven in the Samnaun Alps. Opposite the valley lies the lower Glockturm ridge and further out of the valley there is the Kaunergrat mountain range with the Aifnerspitze, part of the Ötztal Alps.

TO P P O S I T I O N———Our ski-in & ski-out location is simply extraordinary. And not just in winter – in summer too!

Squeeze the muscles in your abdomen, buttocks and thighs and hold for 10 to 20 seconds. Repeat this exercise three times. Build up the time you hold the position.

# 5 C R U N C H E S———Lie on your back and bend your legs so your feet are f lat on the f loor. Fold your hands behind your head or on your chest. Squeeze your abdominal muscles and lif t shoulders and upper body. Lif t just enough to raise your shoulder blades off the f loor. Lower yourself back down with a slow, steady motion. Repeat 15 times.

#2 C L A S S I C S Q UAT S———Stand, legs hip-width apart and toes facing forward. Extend your arms parallel to the f loor, push your buttocks back as if you were going to sit on a chair – and lower your body. Knees should not project beyond toes.

use summer to prepare for perfect ski pleasure in winter!

M O U N T A I N F I TM O U N T A I N F I T

AC T I VAT E O P P O S I T E S———Use the power of both heat and cold with contrast showers and saunas followed by a cold shower or dip in cold water. If you have a cold, avoid big changes in temperature.

M A K E I T A H A B I T———Exercise regularly – hiking, walking, cycling or swimming, they’re all great for the cardiovascular system.

S U P P O R T T H E I M M U N E S YS T E M———Kiwis, citrus fruits, peppers, broccoli, kale, acerola berries, rosehips, sea buckthorn berries, and horseradish are great sources of immune-boosting vitamin C. And after a meal? Go outside for sunshine and a dose of vitamin D!

D R I N K P L E N T Y O F WAT E R———The result of drinking insufficient f luids is weariness. We also become more susceptible to diseases and infections, partly because our mucous membranes lack hydration. Ideally, we should drink 2 litres of water or unsweetened tea daily. Add another half a litre of water for every half hour of exercise.

D E -S T R E S S———Balance brings stability. We seek health in both body and mind. By pausing. Enjoying a soothing bath. And with Yoga, stretching and relaxation exercises as well as easy meditation techniques.

___to Christian Buchhammer

Schlosshotel Fiss General Manager

W H AT A R E YO U R D U T I E S ?———I share responsibility with the Domenig family for strategic and operational management. Thanks to many years of experience in the hotel industry, I am able to optimise work processes and get to grips with challenges.

W H Y D I D YO U C H O O S E A C A R E E R I N G A S T R O N O M Y ?———My mother worked in the industry, so I grew up with it. The variety always appealed to me.

W H AT OT H E R J O B S M I G H T YO U H AV E CO N S I D E R E D?———To be honest, thinking about doing something else only made my wish to find a professional home in hospitality stronger!

W H AT E XC I T E S YO U A B O U T T H E H OT E L I N D U S T RY ?———No two days are alike. You are constantly faced with new tasks and challenges. The most exciting aspect of being a hotel manager is identifying and meeting these challenges.

W H AT M A K E S T H E S C H LO S S H OT E L F I S S D I F F E R E N T F R O M OT H E R H OT E L S ?———Being run by a family, and a family that is constantly striving to improve and develop.

W H O WO U L D B E PA R T I C U L A R LY AT H O M E AT T H E S C H LO S S H OT E L F I S S ?———The Schlosshotel is a family hotel that places great value on quality and on providing each family member and every age group with appropriate services and facilities. Children can have fun in the Kids’ Club while their parents relax in our huge Spa area, although the whole family can also get together go for a day’s quality time in the Family Spa. We meet a very wide range of holiday requirements for young and old.

W H AT A R E YO U R R ECO M M E N DAT I O N S F O R A N YO N E T H I N K I N G O F G O I N G I N TO T H E H O S P I TA L I T Y B U S I N E S S ?———It’s very difficult to explain the industry’s special appeal. I would advise any young person who is interested in this profession to consider starting with an internship. It ’s a huge challenge, but it ’s great fun too!

W H E R E A R E YO U R R O OT S ?———My village is not far from the Schlosshotel Fiss: tranquil Prutz in the Oberinntal region.

H OW D O YO U S P E N D YO U R F R E E T I M E ?———I make use of all the amazing facilities in the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis region – in winter I ski, while in the summer I love a good hike in the mountains. I ’m also an avid motorcyclist and adore all of Austria’s fantastic cuisine.

YO U R P E R S O N A L C R E D O?———Every guest is a miracle and that ’s how we should treat them.

C H A R COA L OV E R E L EC T R I C O R G A S———Charcoal is better for controlling heat, which increases the barbecue’s versatility. For the best, typical BBQ taste, we recommend using top-quality charcoal.

L I D———Closing the lid holds in the heat and allows it to circulate, evenly cooking the food from all sides.

Direct vs. indirect grilling———Knowing the difference between direct grilling – where the food is cooked directly over the heat source – and grilling with indirect heat makes all the difference. To master the art of both types of barbecuing you need to set up different zones in your grill:

Chef’s tip

5 0/5 0———Lay the glowing charcoal from the chimney starter on one side of the grill leaving the other side clear. Depending on space requirements, the arrangement of hot coal can vary from 50/50% to 75/25%.

COA L B A S K E T S———Distribute the coal on the left and right sides of the baskets for direct grilling and leave the centre free for cooking.

M I N I O N R I N G———Perfect for pulled pork, ribs or other dishes that need to be cooked very slowly.

C H E F ’ S C H O I C ET H E S H F B E E F C L U B C R E W R ECO M M E N D S———• Scampi with garlic dip • Pulled salmon burger • Pulled pork• Kobe beef

T H E B I G G R E E N EG G———Peak barbecuing. Maximum flavour. The tastes of nature up front. For unmistakable aroma and unsurpassed taste. The high-end ceramic used in the Green Egg was developed with NASA and is manufactured in Mexico. It provides excellent insulation and reflects the heat in the EGG, thereby creating ideal air circulation. Everything is cooked at the same temperature and the charcoal stays hot for much longer, saving resources. The temperature ranges from 70° to 350°C and can be regulated with precision – creating a perfect foundation for creative cooking at the Schlosshotel Fiss’s new Beef Club.
