Passion - a family tradition
An overview of our history
Josef ‘Pepi’ Jele was ahead of his time. For that reason, he said goodbye to his pigs in 1972 and built a guesthouse with the legendary ‘Schweindl Bar’ in the basement, creating a symbolical bridge to the Truyenhof’s past. From the outset, Pepi was successful in his role as host and cherished interaction with guests staying in the guesthouse.
With mountain tours, river expeditions, sunset hikes to the Kruppköpfe and Piz Lad, bringing days to a close in Rescher Alm and in the Asterhof, he provided his guests with real experiences that have been remembered well beyond the end of his life, and which gave hospitality a deeper significance.
Always by Pepi’s side: Mira, the good soul of the hotel and tennis ace. She still plays friendly matches with guests today. She also demonstrates a skilful touch when it comes to her lovely decorations and the wonderful summery floral blooms, revealing her affinity with the Truyenhof.
Spurred on by her parent's cordial hospitality, Cordula actively participated in all areas of the Truyenhof from a young age. She is the calming influence in the family and perfectly complements Helge, being an all-rounder, from barkeeper to marketer.
Maximilian is the youngest member of the Truyenhof family. As children’s entertainer, playmate and hiking companion, he always seeks personal contact with guests. Evidence of just how much the hotel sector is in his DNA, and the rosy future that lies ahead for the Truyenhof.
For over 50 years, Mira and Pepi have created space for well-being in the Truyenhof. Cordula and Helge have continued this hospitality now for ten years together with their wonderful team, bringing fresh impulses, ideas and surprises to the hotel.
One thing is crystal clear: In spite of many changes, there is still a great deal of love, passion and family ideals rooted in the Truyenhof. So it is still a really huge joy for us to welcome so many regular guests, and new guests – so many friends – year after year.
