The GOOD FOOD club
The concept of culinary well-being lies in the disappearing art of delicately made dishes from the recipes that were passed on from generation to generation. In the mountains, these feel even more authentic and hearty.
Slowdown value: Next level "Wirtshaus"
Evenings will become your favorite "Slowdown" retreat when you embark on the Heimspitze culinary journey. What a spoil! Easy, casual, but so delicately prepared dishes that spoil your soul and remind you of simple and comfortable life.
Food, more than anything, reflects local culture, and Amelie wishes to pass on the true meaning of authentic retreat in the Alps. In the 70's, this place was a "must go" for the Swiss. It was the emblem for the delicious food. Here, the "wirsthuse" dishes are made with modern techniques and artful skills that elevate the taste and the textures of the dish. Like a fine sliced roasted potato - such a treat! A comforting soup, homemade pies that melt in your mouth... simply the food we love to eat in the mountains, and it feels incredible.

well-being. " HEIMSPITZE
Slowdown value: The unique character of Bunzlau pottery
Their love for traditional arts and design is felt all over the hotel. One of our favorite vibes is created around the breakfast as it is served in unique Bunzlau pottery. These beautiful pieces form a part of their crockery collection. So their homemade breakfast dishes taste even more special and the visual effect of the cute pottery definitely brings the "slowdown effect" to the table.

Slowdown value: A place to warm up the body and stay relaxed
At 1423m one can imagine that winters can be cold and full of snow, therefore at Heimspitze, you will not find a big wellness area, but rather a quiet and very private style of cozy & warm place with a Finnish and Steam bath sauna to enjoy a bit of relaxation after all the activities or when the weather cancel your plans to explore the natural wonders around Montafon.
In summer wellness area extends towards the outside garden which is so beautiful to just sit and be. To enjoy the feeling of having the time to live slowly.
"Inspired by the pure delight of basking in the warmth of the rising sun, our wellness area is a quiet pause from the world. A place to unwind, indulge, and renew."
