ThE team
A team of 18 professional & motivated staff are looking after you. This is a little insight into the Arula team.
General Manager
Claudia Epp
„It is a huge pleasure to run such beautiful chalets which are for sure amongst the best ones in the Alps. I saw Arula for the first time back in 2018 when the chalets were still under construction. Observing the daily development and being involved in the entire opening process was such an amazing experience! I am very grateful for our wonderful guests, the amazing team as well as the stylish and cozy property itself.“
Assistant to General Manager
Benita Schlegel
"Lech, this place is my second home. Besides the slopes, I know all the other sides and facets of Lech. The opportunity to be supported in such a special place, by such a great team, inspires me every day. The Arula Chalets offer me the opportunity to constantly improve my skills through their unique attention to detail."

“Considering I’ve been at The Arula Chalets during the opening period already, I know these houses like the back of my hand. That’s why I enjoy working here so much - it is very special when you’re involved in the opening process and therefore part of a beautiful and special chalet like this.”

Sommelier & Service Manager
Patrick Hupf
"Even after 3 years, I’m still astounded by the attention to detail that has been paid to this chalet. After being there daily, I still have the “wow” effect when walking through it. My favourite place in the chalet is - of course - the wine cellar. It has an amazing design and it’s the perfect place for guests to spend time with family & friends to enjoy a glass of wine.”
Chef de Cuisine
Markus Schülke
"What I enjoy most about working at The Arula Chalets is that we can work with regional products of highest quality in close contact to our partners. Also, the modern and spacious kitchen is great! We master new challenges every day, no matter if fine dining or family style, we always try to fullfill every wish in close contact with our guests. Claudia, our manager, puts a huge effort into making sure that everyone in the team is happy and has fun at work at this special place."

Arula is a wonderful place – very elegant and with so much attention to detail. The materials and furniture are beautiful and of highest quality. I am very thankful to be able to work in a small team of professional people. Also, I enjoy the independent work structure and the responsibility I am given. I see myself at The Arula Chalets on the long term and I am looking forward to all future guests from different countries.
