The Arvenbüel team
learn more about our motivated employees
We employ around 20 full- and part-time staff. Our employees are our most important asset and we maintain a family-like working relationship with them. Respectful, friendly interaction is just as important as appreciation of the work performed. The praising words and good evaluations of our guests are to a large extent due to our esteemed team.
Markus Gerber – helper in need and all-rounder, since 2014
I am the “servant” and belong to the family! You can use me for everything, except for serving: I repair everything that doesn't work anymore, I'm the grill master at the Biker Büel and I'm the assistant son-in-law; Barbara's life partner.
Marcel Woischnik – Head chef, since May 2023
Maurin Kern – junior cook, since October 2023
Casimiro de Sousa Moreira – kitchen staff and house baker, back with us since 2014
I have already worked at Arvenbüel from 1987 to 1993. I came back in April 2014 because the economic situation in Portugal is very difficult. I am grateful that I got a job here again. I am responsible for the cold kitchen and I also like to bake bread.
Rui Moreira – back office employee, since May 2022
My brother Casimiro took me to Arvenbüel. Half of our family is or was already here. We feel very comfortable and integrated at Arvenbüel.
Vito Sblano – restaurant specialist, since 2020
Mirjam Neuenschwander – service employee, since 2011, our “speedy gonzales and hercules”
Immediately after moving to the beautiful town of Amden, I found a job at the Hotel Restaurant Arvenbüel. I feel comfortable here and there is a very good working atmosphere. I like it when things get really busy. Then I'm in my element.
Kristina Mandanici – restaurant specialist, since August 2022
Anyone who chooses gastronomy is actually a happiness maker. Your first goal is to make people happy. Here at Haus Arvenbüel, in this family atmosphere and this paradisiacal ambience that makes me happy myself, I like to do my best to give our guests an unforgettable stay. Here I am human - here I want to be!
Franziska Scheidhammer – service employee, since 2017
I spontaneously joined the Arvenbüel in the fall as an additional service assistant. I am now always there during the main season. I actually live in Spain. Already on the first day I was overwhelmed by the beautiful nature up here. I love the mountains and the green meadows.
Angela Gut – apprentice as a restaurant specialist, since August 2022
Ricardo Pereira Texeira – staff at the buffet, since January 2024
Edith Mettler – receptionist, since 2019
The familiar voice on the phone for many years, the friendly face in the morning - after a break of almost two years she is back again.
From the very beginning I felt very comfortable at Arvenbüel and that's how I feel now that I'm back. I really appreciate the whole Arvenbüel team, the family atmosphere, which is especially transmitted to our guests. I am happy to contribute to the well-being of our guests.
Emerita Caduff – our housekeeping manager, since 2015 – the one with the feather duster
I am happy to work here at Arvenbüel. I feel very comfortable in this family environment and love my work.
Lina Moreira – housekeeper, since 2020
I was already here at Arvenbüel with my husband from 1987 to 1993. The last years I took care of the family in Portugal. Now our children are grown up and go their own way. Now I am happy to be back here with my husband and at Arvenbüel.
Lisandra Guedes – housekeeper, since January 2024
Our reliable temporary staff
During the high season and on our many special occasions, we are very happy to be able to rely on the tireless efforts of our temporary staff at all times:
Manuela Gmür – with us since 1994, always steps in when there's a fire
The Arvenbüel is my second family. I completed my apprenticeship as a chef at Arvenbüel with flying colors from 1994 to 1997. A few years later we celebrated our wedding at Arvenbüel. And whenever there's a fire, I like to come and help. There was hardly a New Year's Eve without me, and I was always at the start of the game buffets and Metzgete. Autumn sunny days with high fog - I'm there! Filling in for the boss, so that he too can take a day off - I'm there! The most important day of the year is the staff outing - not without me!
Doris Giger-Grünenfelder – since 2012 as a temp at the buffet
I work 80 % off-site and love the variety here at Arvenbüel. Many weekends I help out. At almost all events I am also there to work. It is simply fun!
Manuela Oswald – kitchen assistant, since May 2022
Since May2022 I work part-time at Arvenbüel. The varied activities of the kitchen as well as the topping of the burgers at the Biker Büel with the grill master Kusi give me a lot of pleasure and fun at work.
Miguel Moreira – vacation job as an all-rounder in the kitchen, since 2019
During my summer vacation, I always visit my parents Lina and Casimiro in Amden and I'm happy to also be able to help out at Arvenbüel and earn a little money.
Angela Moreira – Helping in the housekeeping always during the summer vacations, since 2020
I'm happy every year when I visit my parents at Arvenbüel during the summer vacations together with my brother Miguel. I think it's great that I can help my mother Lina in the rooms and the laundry and earn a little money at the same time. I like being here very much and feel very comfortable in this large gastronomic family.
