Many of our guests have for years regarded the Post as a home from home. A temporary retreat where they can switch off, enjoy themselves and recharge their batteries. With friendly encounters, top-notch cuisine and hours of pleasurable relaxation. It’s a place where tradition is lived, everyone is welcome and nature in all its glory is right on the doorstep. A power place where guests would love to stay longer ... I would have loved to stay a day longer so much. Three generations of your hosts, from left to right. Standing: Florian and Sandra Moosbrugger & Seated: Vivienne, Kristl and Violeta Moosbrugger Dear guests friends of the Post! If there is one thing that 2020 has taught us it is that nothing matters more than our health – and that it certainly cannot be taken for granted. Anxiety and uncertainty about our personal health, but also strict measures including restrictions on going out and travel warnings have dominated the last year. The health and safety of our guests, colleagues and family members were and continue to be our absolute priority. Now it is important to look to the future with confidence and a zest for life.
As a family we have set ourselves the goal "Safety is the new luxury." of offering our guests an even safer and Moosbrugger family more carefree holiday.
We can sense a growing desire to travel Last summer we experienced a significant in all age groups. A yearning for a break, improvement. Our guests travelled into the in the mountains, in a place where it is mountains, enjoyed the fresh mountain air WHILST possible to switch off, relax and enjoy.

Arlberg region, there is ample space and scope to enjoy a summer holiday free of restrictions. As ever in the signature “Post fashion” – keeping sufficient distance and safer than ever before.

We look forward to seeing you!

Insider tip from Violeta Moosbrugger
The Kriegerhorn
One of these tours, which starts right on the doorstep, is the favourite hike of the youngest daughter of the Moosbrugger family, Violeta.
The Kriegerhorn is located at an altitude of 2,137 metres and is very popular. We first set off in a leisurely fashion for Oberlech, continuing through woodlands and meadows towards Grubenalpe before ascending to the summit of the Kriegerhorn. Here there is a glorious panoramic view of the surrounding mountain scenery.
