The we behind the Valavier

Where the air is clearer, time slows down and hearts beat warmer - that's where we feel at home.

Kathi - where heart meets attitude

I'm the one who works in the background - but is never really quiet. I'm in the thick of things where people are involved, where decisions are made and where numbers dance. I keep an overview, bring things together and make sure that everything runs smoothly - quietly but firmly.  Tourism is in my blood, hunting grounds me - and my two four-legged friends are my daily balance. I love it real, down-to-earth and with a dash of tradition - just like it is here in Valavier. Here, everything can be as it is: honest, lively and with a lot of heart.

Garden moments with a view of the Rätikon

Our garden is more than just a place in the countryside - it is a small paradise of plains, water and far-reaching views. Framed by the gentle Mühlebächle stream and the rushing Alvierbach stream hangs our Dedon swing, which invites you to dream. Swinging in it, you can feel the freedom, hear the chirping of the birds, the wind in the trees and look far up to the Mottakopf and the Rätikon. A place to take a deep breath.

The Valavier stable is Edi's favourite project.

By December 2025, a place will be created here where the Valavier animals will live in harmony with nature: the donkeys Gustl and Gertrud, his herd of rams and the dwarf sheep. Built with love and respect, the barn will not only be a home for the animals, but also an experience for children - to marvel at, discover and understand what it means to be close to nature.

From customs house to four-star hotel

Our story begins modestly - in a small customs house in Brandnertal. This became an inn, and with a lot of hard work, passion and lifeblood, it eventually became what we are today: a four-star superior hotel, deeply rooted in Brand and grown over generations.
Each generation has played its part in shaping and developing the Valavier. Today, Edi, Kathi, Fabian and Santina run the hotel together - as a family, as a team, as the heart of the Valavier. Experience meets a breath of fresh air, tradition meets new ideas. And this is exactly what characterises us: genuine hospitality that lasts.
