+39 0471 655 654Nestled on a panoramic terrace above Klausen, surrounded by meadows and forests, the Fonteklaus offers breathtaking views: legend says you can spot 77 church towers from here. The hotel, first mentioned in historical records in the 14th century, has been managed by the Gfader family since 1979. In this tranquil retreat, both the atmosphere and the cuisine are guided by nature. The menu features seasonal dishes that showcase the best local ingredients. Guests can savour creations made with beef from Geisl, “Brillenschaf” lamb from the Villnößtal valley and the popular “Schwarzplentenen Käsenocken” (buckwheat dumplings). Meals can be enjoyed in the traditional parlour with its heritage-listed coffered ceiling, in the dining room or on the panoramic terrace.
The host family
The Gfader brothers, Arnold and Andreas, opened the Fonteklaus Hotel in 1979. Arnold and his wife Andrea manage the service, while Head Chef Andreas creates magic in the kitchen. In 2019, Arnold’s son Heinz and his wife officially took over the business. Heinz, a sommelier and wine academic, carefully curates a selection of wines in the cellar, ensuring a delightful dining experience for guests.
