The Berger-Habe host family of Hotel Sonnfeld
A family business with tradition

About us – the Berger-Habe family

Hosts by conviction and passion: we run the Sonnfeld as a family – a small feel-good hotel with its own distillery.

Who we are

Hosts with a passion.

At the Sonnfeld, the Berger-Habe family looks after its guests personally. Marina welcomes you at reception, Renate prepares breakfast in the morning, and in the evening Alex, Alois and Angela cook for you. Familiar faces, short distances and genuine hospitality – that's our idea of a holiday.

Our roots go back a long way: the first documented mention of our distillery dates from 1941. Today Alexander Habe runs the distillery and combines tradition with new ideas – like our multi-award-winning Alpengin.

We deliberately stay small: with a maximum of 30 guests at a time, we have time for each and every one – for a chat at the bar, a personal wine recommendation or a tip for the most beautiful hike in the valley.

Your hosts

Five people, one house – each with their own place and passion.

Reception · Certified sommelière
