Ladis is situated on a sunny plateau above the Inn Valley, at an elevation of 1,200 meters, overlooking the mountain landscape of the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis region. The village is old—with murals on the farmhouses and a Baroque church. And everywhere, there is an awareness that wherever people live, culture is always passed on. Ladis is also known for its sulfur and acidic springs, whose waters have been prized for centuries. Laudegg Castle towers directly above the village—first mentioned in a document in 1239 and still visible from afar today. And directly below it, on a rocky outcrop, stands the Refugio Laudegg.
The building is inspired by the stables that once stood below the castle. Several structures at different elevations, built with materials typical of the region—plenty of wood and stone—blend into the steep topography without imposing themselves. Inside, nothing distracts from the views: the rooms have large glass fronts and are simply furnished. The wooden walls and ceilings ensure that the minimalist design doesn’t feel cold. However, not every room offers a mountain panorama—the location on the rocky outcrop means that views vary depending on the room. Yet, the rocky setting is an advantage, as three climbing trails leading to Laudegg Castle—which are interesting year-round—end near the lodge.
The Refugio offers nine double rooms measuring about 20 m² for one to three people, as well as four larger units ranging from 40 to 60 m² for four to eight people—each with its own living room and tiled stove.
Breakfast and dinner are served right next door at the Rauthof, an old inn that’s part of the family business and is just a few steps away. Chef Brigitte is known for her thoughtful approach to cuisine, cooking with regional ingredients. Thomas also goes hunting himself. Florian guides guests through the mountains—or drives the shuttle to the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis ski area, which is 900 meters away and offers 214 kilometers of slopes. Parking and a playground are available on-site, and pets are welcome.
What to do
Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis is one of Tyrol’s largest ski resorts—easily accessible in winter via a shuttle from the house. In summer, hiking trails beckon, and you can also go swimming and biking. Ladis is known for its naturally carbonated spring water, a source with a long history.
Why we like this house
Because the architecture and the castle engage in a genuine dialogue here—one that is tangibly evident in the space. The interior design embodies Alpine chic in its most soothing form.
This house is great for
Ideal for families and groups looking for a hassle-free base with all the trimmings. Less suitable for independent travellers seeking peace and quiet.

Großartige moderne Architektur, die sich hervorragend in die Umgebung einfügt. Herzlich Gastgeber und gutes Essen im urigen Rauthof runden die Wohlfühlatmosphäre ab. Auch mit Kindern sehr zu empfehlen!
Dem Gast bietet sich aufgrund der exponierten Lage im Ort ein toller Rundumblick in Täler wie auch zu schneebedeckten Gipfeln. Es ist eine gelungene Kombination von Moderne und lokaler Gemütlichkeit. Die klaren aber warmen Zimmer mit tollen Fensterfronten und Ausblicken, die liebevoll drapierten Bettdecken samt “Kissenbuffet” (es gibt unterschiedlich gefüllte zur Auswahl) bieten eine angenehme Unterkunft, der Saunagang nach dem Skitag eine wohlige Wärme.
Aufmerksame Zimmerfeen stellen unaufgefordert Weingläser zum bisher einsamen selbst eingekauften Wein.
Das Frühstücksbüffet bietet von allem was Feines, individuelle Eierspeisen nach Wahl runden es ab. Die rustikale Gemütlichkeit des Restaurants im Rauthhof mit sehr leckerer Speisenauswahl und flexiblen und freundlichem Service runden den Gesamtaufenthalt im Refugio ab. Das herzliche “Du” der Gastgeber Thomas und Florian samt immer lockerem Spruch und Shuttleservice zum Skilift ließ uns herzlich aufgehoben fühlen…und ein wenig traurig zum Abschied zurück.
Wir kommen wieder!?
das refugio laudes zeigt, das regionale architektur auch ohne anlehnung an den chalet-stil möglich ist. die zimmer und suiten sind unterschiedlich in größe, aufteilung und ausblick. allen gemeinsam sind die durchgehende gestaltung und die materialien: beschichtete böden, beton, holz, glas, sperrholzplatten. no frills — more architecture
nebenan im urigen rauthof gibt es typisch tirolerische spezialitäten.
hinter dem refugio liegt ein kleiner sauna-pavillion.
bis zum skilift sind es ca. 10 minuten zu fuss.
