BERNADETTE & SIMONE DOMENIG. ——— ‘As a family, we shape the hotel, its distinctive style, ambience and quality – and as a family, we look ahead to a wonderful future.’
‘Crafting an elegant hotel that is the quintessence of sublime restraint and understatement, developing our own style, and creating distinctive spaces for people to enjoy themselves and relax – these are the things that have kept us transforming, perfecting and renewing for the last 25 years.
Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis shares our philosophy and today, more than ever, it is one of the preeminent ski and winter sports regions in the world. Experience Tyrol’s Ski Dimension with ski-in & ski-out luxury here, in the region’s finest location.’

- 25 Y E A R S An anniversary that bids us to look back. Give thanks and be glad. And enter a new era with steadfastness and vision.
The story of the Schlosshotel begins with a local builder and his shrewd understanding of human nature. 25 years ago, having recognised our family’s entrepreneurial spirit, he pointed us towards the Schlosshotel Fiss and encouraged us to lead it into the future. This challenge ignited our hearts’ desire: to create a very special place on the sunny plateau of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis.

– Winter is romance. –
Today our life at the Schlosshotel Fiss is just as we always dreamt it would be. Every day is filled with peace, harmony and the warm cordiality that makes our winter the most beautiful of seasons.

– We see the world through children’s eyes. –
And that’s what makes the Kids’ Club so unique. Every day is a new adventure. Every fun-filled moment is instructive, exciting and super-cool.
Included: spectacle, fun and exciting excursions into the imaginative world of the Schlosshotel Fiss. This is where kids find real wizardry, magic and lots of yummy treats, like the cocktails they make with the help of our bartender: a must for budding mixologists.
Kids use PlayMais® and salt dough to make precious souvenirs, and then it’s time for our illusionists’ magic show that features plenty of participatory fun. Our exclusive Yoga for kids classes are a great introduction to Eastern traditions and practices. Winter at the Kids’ Club: never a dull moment!
_ SKI. SPA. SUNSHINE. From piste to Spa. From Spa into Alpine sunshine. The Schlosshotel Fiss combines winter, warmth and wellbeing on 5,000sqm. The 250sqm, 37m long panorama pool invites swimmers’ eyes to rest on the mountain peaks, while bathers in the heated outdoor pool and outdoor saltwater Jacuzzi can watch the skiers as they dash their way down the piste.
Our Aqua Monte Waterworld is completed by the enveloping heat of the Schloss Spa: stimulating saunas, invigorating treatments for beauty and vitality, and moments of togetherness in the Private Spa Suite refresh the senses before concluding in the elegant ease of our wellness lounge.
Discover the perfect balance between high-speed fun on the slopes, a love of nature and exclusive relaxation: Alpine Spa treatments, !QMS Medicosmetics, Babor, Piotaz and Pharmos Natur, hammam rituals, therapeutic body treatments, massages, wraps and baths as well as daily sauna ‘Aufguss’ sessions with the Schloss Spa sauna attendant and special sauna sessions for children in our dedicated Family Spa.

Whether you’re a carver, snowboarder, or simply a seeker of rest and relaxation, at 1,436m above sea level the possibilities are as varied as snow crystals. After a morning on the slopes, pull on your boots and enjoy a walk in the silent woods along enchanted winter footpaths. After an early visit to the Aqua Monte, test your skate-skiing endurance or admire the serene landscape during a cross-country ski outing. After a perfect day in Tyrol’s Ski Dimension, meet friends and family for tobogganing fun under the stars and relish these special moments together.
