KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY Family owned and operated, the Stanglwirt traces its development from mountain inn to spa over 400 years. The Hauser family’s pioneering role in sustainable tourism was the focus of a preview in New York recently. Maria Hauser told us about her younger brother Johannes who is a food and beverage specialist, her sister Elisabeth currently working in Switzerland at a Marriott, and brother Richard, a specialist in all matters concerning strategy and structure. Their mother Magdalena, the “soul of the hotel,” oversees decoration and, as a qualified hiking guide, regularly goes on mountain tours in the summer with Stanglwirt guests, while father Balthasar Hauser oversees it all.
