Therese Leuenberger

My story began on a small farm in the canton of Fribourg. I grew up there, surrounded by nature and close to the people around me. Perhaps that is where my special connection to the mountains, nature and warm-hearted company comes from. After completing my chef apprenticeship in Rüschegg Heubach and attending hotel management school in Bern, I made my way to Davos. I worked for two years as a receptionist at Golfhotel Waldhuus, followed by five years as Head Receptionist at Hotel Ochsen. I have called Hotel Sport in Klosters home since 2003, and I wouldn’t want to be without this special place. What do I love about the hotel industry? No two days are ever the same. The many encounters with our guests, young and old, the variety and, above all, the chance to organise something special at a moment’s notice. Often, it is the little things that make a stay personal and unforgettable. ​I don’t need to be in the limelight. I’m happy to be the one working a little magic behind the scenes: listening attentively, thinking ahead and perhaps noticing a small wish before it’s even voiced. When our guests go home with a smile and happy memories, that is the finest compliment I could receive. In my free time, I’m always drawn back out into nature. Hiking and cycling bring me peace and the perfect balance to the lively life of the hotel. I love the mountains, the quiet and that feeling of simply taking a deep breath. And perhaps that is what I love most about my work: I get to live and work in a place where others come to spend their holidays. I want to share a little of that feeling of the mountains, nature and warmth with our guests every day, along with a generous helping of a colourful world of children, where you can simply be a child.
