Vipp Montafon Haus, Austria
HEAD FOR THE HEIGHTS
A traditional Montafonerhaus from 1836, passed down through generations, has entered a new chapter as Vipp Montafon Haus. Located in the village of Vandans in Austria’s mountainous Vorarlberg region, the three-storey house reflects centuries-old building traditions shaped by life in the valley.
Stretching 39 kilometres through Austria’s westernmost region, the Montafon valley curves through forested slopes and soaring Alpine peaks, with the region’s vernacular houses dotting the horizon.

Entering the house through the heavy, hand-carved front door, worn by time and fitted with a small brass doorbell, sets the tone for what awaits inside.

“Its rich history and setting in the Austrian Alps made it a natural next chapter in our evolving guesthouse story.”
– Kasper Egelund, CEO and third-generation Vipp owner
In 2020, local architects gently renovated the house with reverence for its original structure and historical details. Existing frames were preserved, and the exterior remains true to its Alpine roots, with a shingled roof and sage-green shutters. New timber and steel additions honour the past while introducing contemporary touches. Thick outer walls insulate against harsh Alpine winters, while wooden interiors add warmth and echo the surrounding forested landscape. Though nestled in the village valley, the house opens onto scenic views of the mountains beyond.
