About us – the people behind Rufana Alp

A family business with history, heart and responsibility in the second generation.

Founded in 2006, Rufana Alp has steadily evolved with dedication, vision and attention to detail. What began as an alpine inn has since become a versatile venue for dining, celebrations and gatherings. Our goal has always remained the same: to offer guests a genuine experience, defined by quality, reliability and a personal atmosphere.
Since 2025, Rufana Alp has been led by brothers Adrian and Domenic, the second generation of family ownership. Proven values meet new ideas, and tradition blends seamlessly with modern development. At the heart of it all are the people – those who work here and those who come as guests.
