Relais & Châteaux Chasa Montana

The Chasa Montana tower rises among flower-filled balconies and the mountain.

A week here, month by month

A swim in the Roman pool, then a cellar tasting: that would be my day at Chasa Montana. In winter the pool is reserved for ages 16+ from 6am–9am and 6pm–8pm; I would take children outside those hours.

Is it for you?

For 2, I would pause in the Relax Room between a swim and heading to dinner.

I’d ask for
The Dream Bath Rose in the Kaiserbad.
Worth knowing
It lasts 50 minutes and costs CHF 150 for 2 people, including a glass of Champagne each.

  1. Starting without carrying skis

    I would take the hotel’s free ski shuttle to the gondola: the stated journey is 2 minutes. Ski Safes have boot heating, and hired equipment can be delivered to the ski room.

  2. A Dine Around evening

    To change restaurants, I would opt out of half board by noon. Dine Around credits CHF 35 per person, CHF 10 per child, when choosing among 5 à la carte restaurants; some are at other Zegg addresses.

  3. An e-bike for summer

    In summer I would borrow a hardtail e-mountain bike, free for guests. Full-suspension bikes can be hired at a reduced rate; for a guided ride, the bike school sets the route and price individually.

What Chasa Montana is

Chasa Montana is a 5-star superior hotel with 45 rooms and suites in central Samnaun at 1,842 metres. Part of the Zegg family’s hotels and Relais & Châteaux, it was renovated in 2022. Rooms and shared spaces combine Swiss pine, stone and contemporary seating; beneath the hotel, its cellar holds over 20,000 bottles and around 1,500 wines.1234

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Relais & Châteaux Chasa Montana’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    One guest likes the setting and view; another describes Samnaun as a small, quiet village for a few days’ rest.

  2. Room

    One guest finds the room spacious and well equipped. Another remembers a large shower, wardrobe and practical layout.

  3. Staff and service

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. One guest remembers a welcome aperitif and espresso before departure. Another finds the staff friendly but describes booming spa music and a sauna that remained cold.

  4. Breakfast

    One guest likes the broad buffet choice. Another describes water needing refilling and multivitamin juice that tasted too sour.

  5. Price

    One guest finds room-and-breakfast prices at the upper end, particularly in summer.

41 guests said so on Google, from 9 December 2024 to 28 October 2026. The other hotels are assessed on the same 5 themes. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

Where to linger

Set tables at La Serena, with glasses and stemware

La Serena, a dinner you choose

At La Serena I would choose my own course through dinner: half board lets you select dishes and combinations freely from the daily menu. Dinner starts between 7pm and 8.45pm; the restaurant is reserved for hotel guests.12

The round grotto whirlpool among candles and rock

The warm-water grotto

In the grotto I would start with the 35°C whirlpool before moving to a heated bench. It is one of Montana Spa’s 4 pools: 1,500 m² with 7 saunas, a Spa Lounge, Vitaminbar, Relax Room and Silent Room.12

Getting here

AddressDorfstrasse 30, 7563 Samnaun

Buses run from Scuol-Tarasp station in Switzerland or Landeck in Austria. If driving, I would check mountain-road conditions before setting off; the garage connects directly to the rooms by lift. Private airport transfers for up to 6 people cost CHF 240 per ride from Innsbruck or CHF 660 per ride from Zurich or Munich.1

Your day

In the morning

Start with Samnaun cheese

The buffet opens 7am–10.30am. I would begin with Sennerei Samnaun cheeses and bread from the Rechsteiner and Habicher bakeries: a breakfast drawing on Engadine, Tyrol and South Tyrol.

On your return

Pastries, then the shops

Between 3pm and 5pm I would stop for the hotel’s own pastries. For a look around the Zegg Duty Free shops afterwards, I would use the VIP card: it gives 5% off purchases.

To unwind

Individual Massage

The 50-minute Individual Massage costs CHF 130. The stated duration includes preparation and rest time afterwards; cancellations less than 24 hours ahead and no-shows are charged in full.

Before dinner

La Serena or Natioli

La Serena Hotel Bar opens daily from 3pm and is reserved for Chasa Montana guests. For a cigar lounge, Natioli lets you choose from the Zegg humidors and smoke there.

After dinner

The grotto to yourselves

Private Candlelight Jacuzzi reserves the grotto from 9pm for 2 hours, at CHF 500. I would choose it for a private candlelit soak after the space’s ordinary access has ended.

2 nights with a baby

A family with a baby remembers a suite upgrade, attentive staff and dinners. The room was prepared for the night while they ate; the afternoon cakes were less convincing.
