The full story
Our home.....
Damüls and the Walisgaden have been our home for generations.



1932 to 1969
In the year 1932
Our pioneering grandfather Hans Straßhofer and his wife Elsa bought the "Walisgaden". He certainly had a feel for the loveliest spots in Damüls. It subsequently developed into an inn offering board and lodging for guests and friends.
In the year 1969
together with his wife Heide Marie, son Hanspeter Straßhofer took over the Walisgaden and transformed it into a 3-star hotel. Heide Marie Straßhofer proved to be not only a highly successful landlady, but also enjoyed widespread renown on account of her excellent home-made cakes.

1998 to 2004
1998
Haus Dorfblick with three holiday apartments was added to the hotel.
2001
The neighbouring Haus Chiara joined the complex.
2004
The original Walisgaden was demolished and completely rebuilt. The new hotel was taken over by daughter Heike Straßhofer-Madlener and Ingo Madlener. Together this ambitious pair continued to adapt and renovate the hotel, including the rooms, restaurant, kitchen and umbrella bar.




2016 to 2019
2016
During this year, and entirely at their own expense, a winter-proof road with tunnel access was constructed, as well as the hotel’s private underground garage to accommodate 50 cars.

Further building projects are in the pipeline....
