A colourful family not all Made In South Tyrol.

More than 40 years ago, senior hosts Arthur and Cilly Pobitzer realised their dream by opening a hiking hotel. Today, their son Klaus and his wife Yanelys, successfully maintain the running of the hotel. Grandfather Josef would probably be amazed to see the many changes that have been made from Hofanger, then a meadow to this four-star-superior establishment. Family is of utmost importance at Garberhof giving the hotel a special charm through its colourful diversity. Val Venosta tradition meets the Cuban joy of life, that's how you could describe the atmosphere at this hotel. Yanelys, a trained IT specialist with Cuban roots, and their three boys Felix Luis, Felipe and Francisco bring music, colour and happiness to Garberhof. And Grandma Cilly, the good-hearted soul of the house along with Grandpa Arthur still provide strong reliable support.

The head of the house is the all-rounder lending a hand everywhere. As a trained chef he has always appreciated good food and wine and has always been fascinated by new creations,. And so it happens that he's either practising being a winegrower with Hilde Van den Dries the vintner from Calvenschlössl in the newly planted vineyard, throwing himself into the world of mixology by mixing compelling cocktails alongside Raphael the bartender, daringly creating new recipes using the hotel’s own gin together with flavours like the Val Venosta apricot with Alessandro Secci the master distiller, or simply standing at the wine buffet and tasting excellent South Tyrolean wines with guests. Delectable highlights are always the order of the day at Garberhof.
