Stories of the Gruber Hotel

Pepi Gruber – Our Rock, with Heart, Humour and a Joy for Life

To us, Pepi is much more than our senior host – he is the rock of our family. With his calm nature, kind heart and endless willingness to help, he gives us strength every day and is an irreplaceable part of our hotel.

At 75 years young, Pepi is still full of energy, enthusiasm and a genuine love of life. Sitting still has never been his style. He is always ready to lend a helping hand, bringing his experience, calmness and warm-hearted personality to everything he does. With Pepi, you always know you can count on him.

During the winter season, many of our guests know him as the friendly shuttle driver who safely takes them to the ski slopes. But a ride with Pepi is much more than just a transfer. His sense of humour, his stories and his warm smile often make the first journey of the day a memorable one. Many returning guests look forward to seeing him again every winter because once you've met Pepi, you never forget him.

Outside the hotel, he enjoys life with the same passion. He loves exploring the mountain roads on his motorcycle, embracing every moment with curiosity and enthusiasm. His positive outlook on life reminds us every day that growing older simply means collecting more beautiful memories.

His greatest pride and joy are his grandsons, Alex and Daniel. As a devoted grandfather, he is always there for them with patience, love, encouragement and plenty of time. Watching them together is enough to understand how special their bond truly is.

To us, Pepi is so much more than our senior host. He is our role model, our steady support and the person who shows us every day what family, genuine hospitality and caring for others really mean. With his kindness, humour and generosity, he makes our hotel feel like home.

Pepi is our rock — a man who enriches our family and our hotel every single day with his warm heart, his smile and his wonderful joy for life. And that is exactly what our guests feel from the moment they arrive.
