Our tradition of hospitality

Behind the Aurora are people who have not only learnt the art of hospitality, but who dedicate themselves to it. Many of them have been with us for years, some even for generations. What unites them is the joy of giving our guests a carefree time – with attention, warmth, and an open ear.

The Aurora team

David Burtscher

Our all-rounder. David is deeply committed to ensuring our guests’ well-being. As a qualified carpenter, he also takes care of our building alterations and renovations. An enthusiastic hunter, he is always on the prowl for game and the perfect wine to go with it. As a gamekeeper, he is also responsible for our local game. To this end, he is often out and about with Roka in our own hunting grounds on the Omeshorn.

Diana Muxel

Diana, the heart and soul of the Aurora. She has transformed our grandparents’ former guesthouse into the Aurora, a 4-star hotel. Thanks to Diana, guests become friends; many return year after year, and every stay feels like coming home. With her keen eye for materials and thoughtful details, she is responsible for the atmosphere at the Aurora.

Our
philosophy

Mountains for the soul” is not empty words to us – it’s a feeling that we want to stay with you. The mountains play their part outside. We make sure it comes easily inside. We believe in the little things that make a holiday special – an honest recommendation, a warm welcome, good timing when you need a little peace. This is exactly how we view hospitality at the Aurora: so that you not only enjoy extraordinary days in Lech, but truly feel at home.
